Heat Pipes are devices with high equivalent thermal conductance. They are very effective for coupling zones with different temperatures, allowing very good thermal energy transport. Hence it is important and feasible to incorporate them specifically as components in solar collector, because the pressure drop is reduced, the water circuits are simplified and the maintenance is easier. The main objective is to design, construct and test a heat pipe prototype that allows to collect solar energy in the evaporative zone, and to deliver it in the condenser. This paper registers the processes of design and manufacturing of the heat pipe using local resources. The heat pipe was constructed with 12.7mm external diameter copper pipe, with an aluminum wick and with methanol as working fluid. Also the heat pipe prototype behavior results are shown, which was constructed with a 1.285m total length, 1m of evaporator, 0.085m of condenser and an area of collection of 0.1 m 2 approximately.
