Abstract

A heat pipe includes: a pipe barrel; and a large number of fins disposed on the peripheral surface of the pipe barrel at least on either a heat collecting section side or a radiating section side, each of the fins is attached to the pipe barrel on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pipe barrel, and each of the fins is composed of a metal plate and net-like material adhered to both surfaces of the metal plate. A heat exchanger of gas-liquid contacting plate type includes: a plurality of heat transfer plates, disposed vertically at certain intervals, defining air flow passages therebetween which allow air to rise, and each of the plates has a heat medium flowing passage thereinside for allowing a heat medium to flow therethrough while the side surfaces of each of the heat transfer plates, which define the air flow passages, are adhered with nets for allowing a liquid to flow downward along the nets and plates.
