Abstract:
A cooling apparatus boiling and condensing refrigerant comprising:a refrigerant container which stores a liquid refrigerant in an internal space and has an elongate tubular shape; a heat-generating member attached onto an outer side surface of the refrigerant container and cooled by the refrigerant container; and a heat radiating section which is attached onto an opposite outer side surface of the refrigerant container, cools refrigerant vapor evaporated by receiving heat from the heat-generating member, and radiates heat; wherein: the outer side surface of the refrigerant container is disposed in an almost upright position; the refrigerant container has a barrier that vertically partitions the refrigerant container into two spaces, which are a heat-generating member side path and a heat radiating side path, so that the refrigerant vapor evaporated by receiving heat from the heat-generating member is separated from condensate that circulates from the heat radiating section to the heat radiating side path; and the barrier has a heat insulating structure and has a surface substantially parallel to the outer side surface onto which the heat-generating member is attached.
