Heat pipe radiators are new products that utilize heat pipe technology to make significant improvements to many traditional radiators or heat exchange products and systems. Heat pipe radiators are divided into two main categories: natural cooling and forced air cooling. The thermal resistance of forced air heat pipe radiators can be made smaller, and they are commonly used in high-power power supplies.

A heat pipe is a heat transfer component with extremely high thermal conductivity, invented in 1964 at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States. It reached its peak in theoretical research in the late 1960s and began to be widely used in the industrial field in the 1970s. It transfers heat through the phase change of working fluid between vapor and liquid within a fully sealed vacuum tube, exhibiting thermal conductivity hundreds of times greater than that of pure copper, earning it the nickname "thermal superconductor." A well-designed heat pipe CPU cooler will have strong performance that ordinary air-cooled coolers without heat pipes cannot achieve.
