A condenser includes a gas-phase portion in which the working fluid evaporated in the evaporator flows and a liquid-phase portion in which the working fluid from the gas-phase portion, condensed by heat exchange with an external medium, flows. A gas-phase passage causes the working fluid evaporated in the evaporator to flow to the condenser.

A bypass passage has one end connected to the liquid-phase portion of the condenser or the liquid-phase passage and another end connected to the gas-phase portion of the condenser or the gas-phase passage. A flow rate of a liquid-phase working fluid per unit volume in the bypass passage is smaller than a flow rate of a liquid-phase working fluid per unit volume in the liquid-phase portion of the condenser or the liquid-phase passage.
