COOLING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

In a cooling device using an ebullient cooling system, cooling performance adversely decreases if the evaporator includes projections activating convection heat transfer and the bubble nuclei are formed on the inner wall surface. A cooling device according to an exemplary embodiment includes an evaporator storing a refrigerant and a condenser condensing and liquefying a vapor-state refrigerant vaporized in the evaporator and radiating heat. The evaporator includes a base thermally contacting with an object to be cooled, and a container. The base includes a plurality of projections on a boiling surface of a surface at an inner wall side contacting with the refrigerant. The cross-sectional area cut along a plane parallel to the boiling surface at the top of the projection is smaller than that at the boiling surface. The evaporator includes a bubble nucleus forming surface only on a part of a refrigerant contacting surface.
