=== Loop === A [[loop heat pipe]] (LHP) is a passive two-phase transfer device. It can carry higher power over longer distances by having co-current liquid and vapor flow, in contrast to the [[counter-current flow]] in a conventional heat pipe.<ref name=NTRS>{{cite conference |last1=Ku |first1=Jentung |last2=Ottenstein |first2=Laura |last3=Douglas |first3=Donya |last4=Hoang |first4=Triem |title=Multi-Evaporator Miniature Loop Heat Pipe for Small Spacecraft Thermal Control β Part 2: Validation Results |conference=Multi-Evaporator Miniature Loop Heat Pipe for Small Spacecraft Thermal Control |location=Orlando, Florida |date=January 4β7, 2010 |publisher=American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronomics |hdl=2060/20110015223 |via=NASA Technical Reports Server}}</ref><ref>{{cite conference |author1=Ku, Jentung |author2=Paiva, Kleber |author3=Mantelli, Marcia |title=Loop Heat Pipe Transient Behavior Using Heat Source Temperature for Set Point Control with Thermoelectric Converter on Reservoir|conference=9th Annual International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference |date=31 July 2011 |hdl=2060/20110015224 |via=NASA Technical Reports Server}}</ref> This allows the wick in a loop heat pipe to be required only in the evaporator and compensation chamber.
