Cooling apparatus and a cooling system provided with the same for autonomous driving controller

A cooling system for an autonomous driving controller, the cooling system comprising:

• an air-conditioning system including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator connected to a refrigerant line to heat or cool an interior of a vehicle using thermal energy generated when a refrigerant in the refrigerant line is condensed and evaporated;
• a chiller connected to the air-conditioning system through a refrigerant connection line so that the refrigerant circulates in the air-conditioning system;
• a reservoir tank storing a coolant therein, and connected to the chiller;
• a pump mounted between the reservoir tank and the chiller;
• wherein the autonomous driving controller is provided between the pump and the chiller, and
• wherein the chiller selectively supplies the coolant to the autonomous driving controller while cooling the coolant supplied from the reservoir tank through heat exchange with the refrigerant to prevent the autonomous driving controller from overheating,
• wherein a stop connector is mounted on at least a coolant pipe connected to the pump and the chiller respectively, and
• wherein the chiller, the reservoir tank, the pump, and the autonomous driving controller are interconnected through the at least a coolant pipe in which the coolant stored in the reservoir tank circulates.
