Abstract
Disclosed are a cooling device and a vehicle including the same. The cooling device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a housing part having a first hole formed at one side thereof and a second hole formed at the other side thereof, a heat exchange part accommodated in an internal space of the housing part and having one side communicating with the first hole and the other side communicating with the second hole, a thermoelectric element part provided above the heat exchange part, and a radiational cooling part provided above the thermoelectric element part and at least partially exposed to the outside.
Claims12
A cooling device comprising:
- a housing part having a first hole formed at one side thereof and a second hole formed at the other side thereof;
- a heat exchange part accommodated in an internal space of the housing part and having one side communicating with the first hole and the other side communicating with the second hole;
- a thermoelectric element part provided above the heat exchange part;
- and
- a radiational cooling part provided above the thermoelectric element part and at least partially exposed to the outside of the housing party;
- and
- a cover part provided above the radiational cooling part,
- wherein the radiational cooling part discharges in a form of radiant heat at least of a thermal energy transferred from the thermoelectric element part to the outside of the housing part, the thermal energy transferred from the thermoelectric element part being transferred from a fluid flowing in the heat exchange part,
- wherein a through-hole is provided in a central region of the cover part, and the radiational cooling part is exposed to the outside through the through-hole,
- wherein the cover part comprises an inclined region inclined downward from a peripheral region toward the central region of the cover part,
- wherein a width of the peripheral region in a first direction is greater than a width of the central region in the first direction,
- wherein the first direction is perpendicular to a vertical direction.
