1. Apparatus for transporting heat from a heat source comprising:

  • a flexible first loop heat pipe having a first evaporator and a first condenser;

    a flexible second loop heat pipe having a second evaporator and a second condenser, said second loop in parallel with and fluidically independent from said first loop;

    an evaporator saddle having a first bore housing the first evaporator and a second bore housing the second evaporator, said evaporator saddle having a fist substantially flat surface thermally coupling the evaporator saddle to the heat source, the first bore and the second bore are disposed so that a plane bisecting the first bore and the second bore are substantially parallel to the first substantially flat surface of the evaporator saddle;

    a condenser saddle having a first bore and a second bore, said condenser saddle having a second substantially flat surface thermally coupling the condenser saddle to a radiator flat surface, a first vapor transport line in fluid communication with the first evaporator;

    a second vapor transport line in fluid communication with the second evaporator, a first reservoir in fluid communication with the first evaporator; and

    a second reservoir in fluid communication with the second evaporator.
