Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2481477A1] A loop-type thermosiphon that is operable stably independently of fluctuatio n in thermal load, and a Stirling refrigerator using the loop-type thermosipho n. A loop-type thermosiphon where heat is carried by a working fluid from a hig h temperature heat source (5) has a heat absorption unit (1a), an evaporator ( 1) that takes away heat from the high temperature heat source through the heat absorption unit and evaporates the working fluid, a condenser (3) located at a higher place than the high temperature heat source and condenses the working fluid evaporated in the evaporator, and pipes (2, 4) inter connecting the evaporator and the condenser so as to form a loop. The working fluid (22) passed through the condenser (3) is brought into contact with the heat absorption unit (1a) before the fluid is stayed in a liquid container (21) f or the working fluid so that heat exchange is carried out.
