PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent expected cooling effect from being unable to be exhibited because of the decrease of the cooling efficiency of a transfer paper, due to the fact that the heat capacity of a heat pipe is full by providing a carrying means having a heat pipe arranged in a carrying path for the transfer paper and a temperature rising suppressing means for the carrying means. SOLUTION: In the transfer paper cooling system provided with a carrying means having a heat pipe 8 arranged in the transfer paper carrying path, a temperature rising suppressing means for the carrying means is provided. In other words, plural fins 11 are attached to the shaft end part of the heat pipe 8 and a cover 12 is provided to surround the fins 11. A fan 13 for cooling the pipe 8 is provided in the cover 12. Then, the fan 13 is rotated to supply a refrigerant consisting of a liquid such as ethyl alcohol or a gas such as air onto the pipe 8, to cool it. Consequently, the rising of the temp. of the carrying means including the heat pipe 8 is suppressed and the temp. of the carrying means is always kept proper, to make the cooling efficient. |
