An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit (100) that creates an image and a liquid cooling unit. The liquid cooling unit includes a heat receiving unit (2) disposed in contact with a temperature rising portion (8), in the image forming unit, in which a temperature rises due to an image forming operation by the image forming unit, a heat radiating unit (5) that radiates heat of a cooling liquid, a flow passage forming member that allows the cooling liquid to circulate between the heat receiving unit (8) and the heat radiating unit (5), and a conveying unit (1) that conveys the cooling liquid through the flow passage forming member. The heat radiating unit includes a radiator (5a), and the radiator is disposed at a downstream side of the conveying unit (1) in a cooling liquid flow direction and at an upstream side of the heat receiving unit (2) in the cooling liquid flow direction. |
