Are you interesting in building heat pipes?
For solar energy they are pretty simple. Of course heat pipes require a working fluid with a boiling point / condensing point about midway between the two working extremes.
For solar heating of water I use acetone.
What is your application? What are you looking to absorb heat from? What are you looking to add heat to?

heat pipe heat exchanger can recover up to 85% of exhausted thermal energy. However under ideal conditions the thermal efficiency of an economic system ranges between 55 to 70% and saves millions of BTUs year after year.
Anybody knows more information regarding Heat Pipe Please let me know?
Thanks ,

When faced with the choice between changing one's mind, and proving that there is no need to do so, most tend to get busy on the proof.
