PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which can be made compact and is simple, is capable of controlling a heat flow, and which can be applied to a heat switch or the like capable of performing control of the heat flow in a minute area.SOLUTION: A heat flow control device is configured by filling a part between opposing electrodes to which electric fields can be applied with an electrorheological fluid having heat conductive particles dispersed in a dispersion medium, and the electrorheological fluid is caused to function as a heat flow control layer by applying an electric field between the electrodes. Thus, a heat flow control device which can be made compact and is simple, and can perform heat flow control, is obtained. |
