HEAT PIPE, COOLING DEVICE HAVING HEAT PIPE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH THE COOLING DEVICE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase flexibility of the shape of a radiating body which is thermally connected to the heat radiation end of an external tube, and also to obtain a heat pipe which enables heat conduction of proper efficiency. PSOLUTION: A heat pipe (15) has an external tube (30) formed internally with a wick (31), and an operating fluid is sealed in this external tube. The external tube comprises a flat heat-receiving end (32), a flat heat-radiating end (33) in a direction different from that of the heat-receiving end, and a middle part (34) having a circular section for connecting the heat-receiving end to the heat radiation end.
