Abstract
An apparatus for cooling a heat generating member by utilizing the latent heat of vaporization of a boiling refrigerant, having a cooling vessel including an evaporator section containing the boiling refrigerant and adapted to transmit the heat generated by the heat generating member to the refrigerant, and a condenser section for liquefying the gasified refrigerant; a liquid refrigerant reservoir open at its upper end and adapted to store a body of the refrigerant which does not directly take part in a cooling operation while the cooling operation is being performed; and a communication means for communicating the cooling vessel with the liquid refrigerant reservoir, the cooling vessel and the communication means being filled with the boiling refrigerant.
