<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a loop heat pipe capable of securely starting operation regardless of arrangement condition and an electronic apparatus including the same. <P>SOLUTION: A loop heat pipe 100 includes an evaporator 1, a condenser 8, a vapor pipe 12 and a liquid pipe 13 which connect the evaporator 1 and the condenser 8 to form a circular main loop 10, and a vapor pipe 22 and a liquid pipe 23 which connect the evaporator 1 and the condenser 8 to form a circular auxiliary loop 20. Besides, the evaporator 1 includes a reservoir 5 which stores a liquid phase working fluid flowing in from the liquid pipes 13 and 23, a vapor collector 6a which communicates with a vapor pipe 12, a vapor collector 6b which is disposed closer to the condenser 8 than the vapor collector 6a and communicates with the vapor pipe 22, a separating wall 7 which separates the vapor collector 6a from the vapor collector 6b, and wicks 4a and 4b which are formed of porous materials and disposed between the reservoir 5 and the vapor collectors 6a and 6b. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
