Abstract:
A guide vane for a turbomachine is disclosed. The guide vane includes a heat pipe wall that is interpenetrated by a capillary system, which has a continuous material transition from a first surface, which delimits the guide vane toward the outside, to a second surface, which lies opposite to the first surface and delimits an evaporation cavity in the interior of the guide vane. Further disclosed is a method for producing a guide vane having a heat pipe wall, wherein at least the heat pipe wall is formed by additive manufacture.
