<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording apparatus which can heat a recording medium to a temperature equal to or higher than the condensation temperature of a refrigerant when the recording medium is heated in the condensation process of a heat pump. <P>SOLUTION: The recording apparatus includes: a recording head H; a heating means for heating the recording medium to which ink is ejected by the recording head H; and a conveying means for conveying the recording medium 101 to which the ink is ejected by the recording head H and which is heated by the heating means. The heating means has a heat pump mechanism. The heating means heats the recording medium 101 by transferring the heat generated in a condenser 105 when the refrigerant is condensed in the condenser 105 to the recording medium. Along a conveying direction where the recording medium 101 is conveyed by the conveying means, the refrigerant flows in the condenser 105 at a downstream side in the conveying direction, and flows out from the condenser at an upstream side in the conveying direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
