Abstract
Disclosed are a dew condensation removal structure that removes dew condensation generated in equipment using cold such as refrigerating/freezing equipment and air conditioning equipment and that suppresses power consumption necessary to remove the dew condensation, and cooling/heating equipment including the dew condensation removal structure. The cooling/heating equipment uses the dew condensation removal structure, including: a cooling structure having a cooling surface that is directly or indirectly cooled by cold, the cooling surface facing outside air; and a dew condensation conveyance section provided on the cooling surface, in which the dew condensation conveyance section has a conveyance path that conveys dew condensation by capillary phenomenon, the dew condensation being generated on a surface of the dew condensation conveyance section.
