The present paper describes the usage of heat pipes for phase transformation of steam that is steam condensation. The application of heat pipes were reviewed and it is found that heat pipes were never explored for steam condensation since its inception. Hence, a heat pipe had been designed for condensation purpose and the features of this designed heat pipe like, material of construction, length, and diameter were presented. The thermodynamic limits of the designed heat pipe were calculated theoretically. Practical results of experiments were also presented.
