Abstract
A loop heat pipe system includes a loop heat pipe (LHP), a temperature sensor, a heater and a controller. The temperature sensor measures temperature of a working fluid portion of the LHP in which the working fluid has different phases depending on whether or not the LHP is in a disable status not to start up a heat transportation, in which a liquid phase of the working fluid does not exist in an evaporator of the LHP. The heater heats a heating target part of a vapor line. The controller, in order to start up the LHP, turns on the heater, monitors temperature of the heating target part using the temperature sensor, and turns off the heater when detecting a change in the monitored temperature, caused by condensation of a vapor phase of the working fluid.
