Abstract:
A boiling and condensing apparatus comprising:a coolant tank for storing coolant to be boiled by receiving heat from a heating element attached to one surface of the coolant tank, a radiator having a plurality of tubes communicated with the interior of the coolant tank and substantially standing upright from the other surface disposed opposite to the surface in the coolant tank on which the heating element is attached, and a header tank communicating the plurality of tubes with each other, wherein the coolant stored in the coolant tank receives heat from the heating element and is boiled to vaporize into a coolant vapor, from which latent heat is radiated from the radiator to cool the heating element, wherein the plurality of tubes consists of first tubes for delivering the coolant from the coolant tank to the header tank and second tubes for delivering the coolant from the header tank to the coolant tank, a boiling area is formed in the interior of the coolant tank, for evaporating and vaporizing the coolant by the heating element, and the coolant tank is provided with a first coolant flow path for communicating the boiling area with the first tubes and a second coolant path for communicating the boiling area with the second tubes, a flow path resistance of the second coolant flow path is larger than that of the first coolant flow path, when the heating element attachment surface is disposed on the lateral side, part of the second coolant flow path disposed beneath the boiling area is solely connected to the boiling area the boiling area is provided generally at a center of the interior of the coolant tank, and the second tubes are assembled at a position outside the boiling area in the coolant tank, and when the heating element attachment surface is disposed on the lateral side, the second tubes are assembled to the upper and lower sides on the coolant tank.
