PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve heat exchange efficiency by equalizing the distribution of a refrigerant in a cooling apparatus comprising a laminate plate heat exchanger. SOLUTION: This cooling apparatus comprises a laminated plate heat exchanger 10 in which a refrigerant flow passage 12 through which a refrigerant passes and another fluid flow passage 11 for heat exchanging with the refrigerant are alternately formed by laminating plates. Herein, in a refrigerant intake passage 14a of the laminated plate heat exchanger which communicates an external refrigerant circuit and one end of each refrigerant flow passage 12 with each other there is provided a refrigerant pipe 19 including a refrigerant intake port through which a refrigerant is taken in from the outside and refrigerant distribution means for substantially equally distributing an intake refrigerant along the refrigerant intake passage 14a. |
