Abstract

A constant pressure type ebullient cooling equipment has a liquid receiver at a position higher than a condenser. The liquid receiver is connected with a vaporizer containing a liquid refrigerant by a coupling pipe. A valve and a device for opening or shutting the valve are disposed at an upper part of the liquid receiver. When refrigerant vapor produced in the vaporizer is introduced into the condenser, refrigerant liquid in the vaporizer moves to the liquid receiver. The condenser and the liquid receiver are connected by a deaerating pipe. Non-condensable gases such as air contained in the cooling equipment and the refrigerant enter the liquid receiver, and are emitted through the valve. As a result, the interior of the cooling equipment is held under a substantially constant pressure.
