A natural circulation circuit includes an evaporator surrounding a heat
radiating portion of a Stirling refrigerating machine to absorb heat of
the heat radiating portion through evaporation of a coolant, a condenser
arranged to be higher than the evaporator to condense the coolant having
gas phase, a conduit guiding the coolant from the evaporator to the
condenser, and a return pipe returning the liquefied coolant from the
condenser to the evaporator. In the evaporator a distance between an
opening of the return pipe and an inner circumferential surface of the
evaporator is smaller than that between an opening of the conduit and the
inner circumferential surface.
