PURPOSE:To achieve a good heat transfer by arranging the center of the unit body to be the high or low temperature side and its both ends to be the low or high temperature side while making the inner circumferential wall to be tapered to be increasingly wider from the low temperature side toward the high temperature side, and rotating the heat pipe unit. CONSTITUTION:The heat pipe unit 1 is rotated on its axis by a rotating means 9. The sealed refrigerant 6 is evaporated by being heated on the center high temperature side 3 of the heat pipe unit 1 to become the evaporated gaseous refrigerant, which moves to the low temperature side 4 on both ends where it releases heat to be condensed to become the condensed liquid refrigerant 6. Because the heat pipe unit 1 is rotated, said condensed liquid refrigerant 6 moves toward the low temperature side 4 at both ends having a large diameter along the inner circumferential wall 5 on account of the centrifugal force, where it is heated again to be evaporated for transmission of heat. In this instance, as the condensed liquid refrigerant 6 moves to the high temperature side 3 as it forms a liquid layer on the surface of the inner circumferential wall 5, heat is directly transmitted from the high temperature side 3 to the liquid refrigerant, thereby improving the heat transfer.
