  • the connection channel 5 may have a slight curve or the like so long as the connection channel generates a self-excited oscillation.
  • the oscillation amplitude of the working fluid M during self-excited oscillation depends on the shape and size of the connection channel 5 , for example, the oscillation amplitude in a case where the heating unit 2 is heated with the inside diameter of the heating unit 2 being 5 mm, the inside diameter of the connection channel 5 being 2 mm, and the length of the connection channel 4 being 150 mm, increases so as to be about ⁇ 25 to ⁇ 50 mm.

For this reason, whenever the meniscus M of the tip of the liquid plug L comes to the joining portion 8 between the heating unit 2 and the connection channel 5 , a portion of the liquid is supplied to the heating unit 2 . Accordingly, the working fluid can be held in the heating unit 2 to always cause evaporation.
