There are several factors that affect heat transfer of heat pipe, for example, structure dimension, filling ratio and vacuum degree of charging. This paper studied the thermal conductivity of micro flat heat pipes (MFHPs) with different structure dimension and with different filling ratio, when the charging vacuum degree of MFHP was decided. When electric power was 2W or 4W, MFHPs with parallel grooves and nonparallel grooves, charged by working fluid with different filling ratio, were carried out. And the filling ratio is 30%, 40% and 50%, respectively. The better thermal performance of MFHP can be evaluated by lower thermal resistance and higher effective thermal conductivity. The experiment results show that MFHP has the highest effective thermal conductivity when the filling ratio is 40%; and the thermal performance of MFHP with nonparallel structure in axial direction is better than that of MFHP with parallel structure.
