a target area that is a target for heat exchange; and
a flow path structure comprising:
at least one inlet;
at least one outlet;
a first flow path connected to each of the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet, and extending, when viewed from a height direction, in two perpendicular first directions in a plane, that are perpendicular to the height direction, along a first side of the target area within the plane; and
a second flow path connected to each of the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet, and extending, when viewed from the height direction, in at least one second direction in the plane, along a second side, different from the first side, of the target area within the plane,
wherein the target area comprises a plurality of channels arranged with respect to each other in the plane, each of the plurality of channels extending in the height direction that is perpendicular to the plane, and
wherein the first flow path extends, when viewed from the height direction, in the two perpendicular first directions and a third direction, opposite to one of the two perpendicular first directions, such that the first flow path at least partially surrounds the plurality of channels and the second flow path in the two perpendicular first directions and a fourth direction, opposite to the other of the two perpendicular first directions.
