1. A heat dissipating system, comprising:
- a heat-absorbing unit having at least one cavity body adapted to contact a heat source, and a working fluid received in said cavity body;
a condenser to condense said working fluid; and
a tubing unit connected fluidly to said condenser and said heat-absorbing unit, said working fluid flowing through said tubing unit to circulate from said condenser to said heat-absorbing unit by gravity and from said heat-absorbing unit to said condenser by natural convection, said tubing unit forming a closed circulating loop with said heat-absorbing unit and said condenser.

Abstract
A heat dissipating system includes: a heat-absorbing unit having at least one cavity body adapted to contact a heat source, and a working fluid received in the cavity body; a condenser to condense the working fluid; and a tubing unit connected fluidly to the condenser and the heat-absorbing unit. The working fluid flows through the tubing unit to circulate from the condenser to the heat-absorbing unit by gravity and from the heat-absorbing unit to the condenser by natural convection. The tubing unit forms a closed circulating loop with the heat-absorbing unit and the condenser.

14. A method for dissipating heat from a heat source, comprising:
-
(a) contacting the heat source with a heat-absorbing cavity body to cause a working fluid contained in the cavity body to vaporize; (b) allowing the vaporized working fluid to flow upward and enter a condenser by natural convection; (c) condensing the vaporized working fluid in the condenser; (d) cooling the condensed working fluid using a thermoelectric cooler and a heat sink; and (e) allowing the condensed working fluid to flow downward and back into the cavity body by gravity.
