1. A temperature control device, comprising:
(i) a temperature control unit, which controls a temperature of an object, comprising:
a temperature control medium; and
a metal body in which a space serving as a channel of said temperature control medium is formed,
wherein said temperature control medium has a latent heat of evaporation of said temperature control medium within a range of from 70 to 200 KJ/kg when said temperature control medium changes a state thereof from a liquid to a gas, and said temperature control medium has a coefficient of volume expansion which is at most 250 times when said temperature control medium changes a state thereof from a liquid to a gas under atmospheric pressure, and
wherein at least one part of said temperature control medium exists in said space in a solid state;
(ii) a storage tank configured to store said temperature control medium;
(iii) a supply path configured to supply said temperature control medium from the storage tank to the channel; and
(iv) a recovery path configured to recover said temperature control medium from the channel to the storage tank.
