PURPOSE: To make it possible to transfer heat horizontally and both horizontally and vertically without the application of a pump, by using a liquid which is turned into vapor phase when it receives heat at an endothermic section as a heat medium, and turned into liquid phase when it radiates heat at a heat radiation section in a closed-loop heat medium circulation passage where a heat medium is circulating inside, and placing the heat radiation section at a position relatively higher than the endothermic section.
CONSTITUTION: Two liquid levels A and B of each heat medium fluid are produced within the range of an endothermic section 5 and a heat radiation section 7 during operation. The differential liquid level forces the heat medium fluid to flow from the heat radiation section 7 to the endothermic section 5. The endothermic action to the heat medium at the endothermic section 5 is mostly carried out at a liquid phase section. The heat medium fluid which has absorbed heat is vaporized and flows to the heat radiation section 7. The heat medium vapor is radiated and liquefied at the heat radiation section 7. When the opening of a control valve 10 is adjusted so as to comply with the requirements in terms of the quantity of intake heat energy or temperature, the liquid level of the heat medium is adjusted at the endothermic section 5 within the range from A and A', which makes it possible to take out a specified heat as a result. Moreover, the heat medium can circulate in a stabilized manner within a circulation passage 6.
