A heat transport device includes a loop heat pipe configured in the form of a loop, and a control unit configured to control an amount of heat generated by a heat generating part when the loop heat pipe starts up. The loop heat pipe includes an evaporating unit configured to receive heat of a heat generating part as a cooling target and evaporate a hydraulic fluid, a condensing unit configured to radiate heat and condense vapor obtained by evaporation of the hydraulic fluid, a vapor pipe which connects the evaporating unit and the condensing unit to each other, and a liquid pipe which connects the condensing unit and the evaporating unit to each other.
