Abstract (en)

[Abstract] A technical problem is to provide a mechanism capable of using a function such as a cooling function obtained through processing in which a liquid such as cold water, warm water, or a chemical flows through a water pipe such as a hollow fiber membrane, exudes from the water pipe such as a hollow fiber membrane, and is absorbed and diffused. Another technical problem is to provide a mechanism capable of cooling clothing or the like by using heat of vaporization of water exuding from the hollow fiber membrane. Still another technical problem is to provide a mechanism that uses heat of vaporization of water to cool a surrounding area while not getting a wearer or clothing wet. Still another technical problem is to provide a mechanism that uses water exuding from the hollow fiber membrane to humidify a surrounding area. The mechanism includes a water pipe such as a hollow fiber membrane, a layer that absorbs and diffuses water exuding from the water pipe such as a hollow fiber membrane, and an air layer, enabling a surrounding area to be cooled. Shaking the layer promotes exchange of air between an inside and an outside of the air layer, promotes water absorption and diffusion, and promotes cooling of the surrounding area.
