The heat boils the fluid and pushes the fluid vapor to the colder region of the heat pipe. The colder region, which is typically coupled to a heat sink, is known as “the Condenser”. The fluid gives up its latent heat and condenses back to a liquid, and is again absorbed in the wick structure.

How does water pipe heat cable work?

Electric heat tracing, heat tape or surface heating, or trace heating maintains and raises the temperature of pipes to prevent freezing. Otherwise known as Trace heating, using heating cable, utilizes an electrical heating element and wraps the length of pipes to deliver heat directly.
