A capillary structure for a heat transfer device, such as a heat pipe is
provided having a plurality of particles joined together by a brazing
compound such that fillets of the brazing compound are formed between
adjacent ones of the plurality of particles. In this way, a network of
capillary passageways are formed between the particles to aid in the
transfer of working fluid by capillary action, while the plurality of
fillets, provide enhanced thermal transfer properties between the
plurality of particles so as to greatly improve over all heat transfer
efficiency of the device.
