its a closed pipe with different fillings (water, methanol, ...) under reduced pressure
works within a specified temperature area to transport heat from one end to the other with a loss of only 1 or 2 degrees
with that you are able to transport heat away to a cooler
ie http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/zm50-hp.htm

i modified that to fit it to my dvb-s, a better solution would try to use the case itself as heatsink
