In the figure, 1 is a common liquid reservoir containing a cooling liquid 2 and 3 is a cooling fin as an evaporator, which is connected to the common liquid reservoir 1 via a plurality of first and second ducts 4 and 5, respectively. There is a thyristor element (not shown), which is an object to be cooled, fixed to the heat absorption surface 3a of the cooling fin 3. The first duct 4 is for sending the cooling liquid 2 from the common liquid reservoir 1 to the cooling fins 3, and the second duct 5 is the cooling liquid heated from the cooling fins 3 to the common liquid reservoir 1. 2 and its steam 2a. 6 is connected to the upper part of the common liquid reservoir 1 via a header 7, and vapor 2a

The cooling liquid 2 is heated and boiled by the heat from the heat absorbing surface 3a that has absorbed the heat of the thyristor element. As a result, bubbles of the vapor 2a are generated from the surface of the heat absorbing surface 3a. Due to the rise of the bubbles, convection occurs in the cooling liquid 2 as shown by the arrow in the figure. Therefore, the bubbles of the steam 2 a move from the upper part of the cooling fin 3 to the header 7 through the second duct 5 and the common liquid reservoir 1. Therefore, the header 7 is filled with the steam 2a. The steam 2a in the header 7 moves to the condenser 6 and is air-cooled in the condenser 6 to be condensed and liquefied. The condensed liquid, that is, the cooling liquid 2 returns to the common liquid reservoir 1 again by gravity and is cooled.

却モードに移行させる必要がある。In the conventional boiling cooling apparatus constructed as described above, it takes time for the temperature of the cooling liquid 2 to rise to the boiling temperature at the beginning of operation, and therefore, in the meantime.
