Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
An electrically insulating heat pipe semiconductor apparatus which comprises: a plurality of first metal pipes extending parallel to each other and each having open and closed ends; a plurality of second metal pipes extending parallel to each other and each having open and closed ends; electrically insulating pipes each connected between the open ends of said first and second metal pipes so that said first and second metal pipes communicate with each other; a heat conductive block, connected to said second metal pipes, for mounting a semiconductor; radiating fins mounted on said first metal pipes; and an electrically insulating operating fluid sealed in said heat pipe, wherein first grooves are formed on an inner circumferential surface of each of said first metal pipes so as to be inclined in one direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of said heat pipe, and second and third grooves are formed on an inner surface of each of said second metal pipes so as to cross each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said first grooves are inclined through an angle of 2° to 10° with respect to the longitudinal axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
An apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said second and third grooves cross each other at an angle of 4° to 90°. 4. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
second grooves cross the longitudinal axis of said heat pipe at an angle of 2° to 45°, and said third grooves cross the longitudinal axis of said heat pipe at an angle of 2° to 45°.

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the closed end of each of said first metal pipes has a tapered portion having a circular sectional shape, said tapered portion having a nozzle formed at a distal end thereof.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the closed end of each of said second metal pipes has a tapered portion having a circular sectional shape, said tapered portion having a nozzle formed at a distal end thereof.
