Capillary Pumped Loops (CPL) Are Passive Heat Transport Devices That Can Transfer 10's to 1000's W of Heat Over Distances Raging From Several Inches to Several Meters. Using Only Capillary Forces (No Pumps - No Power) It Can Pump Heat Against Gravity. CPLs Can Also Have Multiple Evaporators and Condensers in a Single Loop
