Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a loop heat pipe having an evaporator, a condenser, a vapor line connected between the evaporator and the condenser through which a vapor-phase working fluid flows, a liquid line connected between the condenser and the evaporator through which a liquid-phase working fluid flows, and a wick having an elasticity and provided inside the evaporator in a compressed and deformed state. The liquid-phase working fluid permeates into the wick, and a boundary between the liquid phase working fluid and the vapor phase working fluid is formed in the wick. A stress generated in the wick due to compressive deformation is greater than a pressure loss that occurs during circulation of the working fluid from the vapor-phase side of the boundary via the condenser back to the liquid-phase side of the boundary.
