Abstract

[Problem] When a size of a cooling device using a boiling cooling system is reduced, a cooling performance decreases. [Means for solving the problems] It is characterized in that an evaporation unit which stores refrigerant, a condensing unit which condenses a gas-phase refrigerant produced by vaporizing the refrigerant in the evaporation unit to a liquid and dissipates heat, a vapor pipe which conveys the gas-phase refrigerant to the condensing unit, and a liquid pipe which conveys a liquid-phase refrigerant obtained by condensing the gas-phase refrigerant in the condensing unit to the evaporation unit are included, the condensing unit includes a heat dissipation flow path, an upper header which connects the vapor pipe and the heat dissipation flow path, and a lower header which connects the heat dissipation flow path and the liquid pipe, the upper header includes a flow path header portion connected to the heat dissipation flow path and an upper header extension portion located around the flow path header portion, and the upper header extension portion has a connection port connected to the vapor pipe in a face to which the heat dissipation flow path is connected.
