                         capacity, able to transport large quantities of heat with little 
                         difference between the temperature of the evaporation and 
                         condensation sections, presenting a highly efficient heat transfer 
                         process. This technology has found increasing applications in 
                         improving the thermal performance and heat dissipation of 
                         electronics and other components in aerospace missions (satellites 
                         and spacecrafts) and it is widely used today. Also, heat pipes 
                         have found applications to improve the efficiency of heat 
                         exchangers in many industrial environments. The use of heat pipes 
                         in heat exchangers allows the development of more compact and 
                         efficient equipments when compared to traditional heat exchangers. 
                         For some applications, such as heat recovery in industrial 
                         process, the use of the heat pipes on heat exchangers presents to 
                         be rather interesting due to an increased efficiency along with 
                         more compact equipments. Mid-level temperature heat pipes have 
                         found applications both in aerospace and industry, and their 
                         development has found interest in those areas. Focusing this 
                         scenario, this paper presents and investigation on the operation 
                         of heat pipes at designed for medium level temperatures (up to 200 
                         °C) using water as working fluids. Testing results of three 
                         different configurations of heat pipes using those working fluids 
                         have shown reliable operation when cyclic heat loads are applied, 
                         with fast responses. The obtained results show that the heat 
                         pipes' configurations investigated are able to reach thermal 
                         conductances up to 18 W/oC and could be used in several industrial 
                         (for heat recovering systems) and aerospace applications when 
                         those levels of temperature are required.",
