Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a heat generating part housed inside a cabinet and a loop heat pipe housed inside the cabinet, which includes an internal flow path having a loop shape in which a working fluid is sealed. The loop heat pipe further includes a heat receiving unit, a heat radiating unit, a vapor flow path which allows a gasified portion of the working fluid to flow from the heat receiving unit towards the heat radiating unit, a liquid returning flow path which allows a liquefied portion of the working fluid to flow from the heat radiating unit towards the heat receiving unit, and a wick provided at a position adjacent to the vapor flow path inside the liquid returning flow path. The wick also serves as a partition portion which partitions the vapor flow path and the liquid returning flow path from each other.
