To be effective, a heat pipe must be composed of material with high thermal conductivity, usually copper or copper alloy. The fluid inside must have the correct vapor pressure, viscosity and thermal ...

As the temperatures continue to drop in the Kansas City metro area, the risk of frozen and burst pipes rises. That leads to ...

Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) has achieved a remarkable milestone in aerospace innovation, with its Constant ...

A new 3D-printed pipe has been created that will auto-regulate temperature, perfect for satellites that are in space.

Stick sensors as near pipes as possible and take action if numbers drop well below freezing. Important note: At this point, you may be wondering if you should use a space heater to rapidly heat ...

Apply heat with a hairdryer, hot towel, or space heater to the frozen section of the pipe until it thaws and water is restored. If you're unable to find the frozen pipe, or if it's not accessible ...

Scientists suspected that, among other possibilities, plastic drinking water pipes exposed to extreme heat released the chemicals (SN: 11/13/20). Now, lab experiments show that’s possible.
