Abstract
A cooling device comprising a first chamber (1), a second chamber (2) separated from the first chamber (1), heat exchanger means (4) adapted to transfer heat from the first chamber (1) to the second chamber (2), and fan means. The first chamber (1) comprises an inlet flow opening (12) and an outlet flow opening (14). The fan means is adapted to generate a first cooling medium flow (511) inside the first chamber (1) between the inlet flow opening (12) and the outlet flow opening (14) such that heat is transferred from the first cooling medium flow (511) into the heat exchanger means.
Claims20
A cooling device comprising:
- a first chamber;
- a second chamber separated from the first chamber and adapted to be in contact with ambient air;
- heat exchanger means comprising at least one heat exchanger, the heat exchanger means dividing the first chamber into an upper section and a lower section, a first end of each of the at least one heat exchanger being located in the first chamber, and a second end of each of the at least one heat exchanger being located in the second chamber, the heat exchanger means being adapted to transfer heat from the first chamber to the second chamber;
- and
- fan means;
- wherein the first chamber comprises an inlet flow opening in the upper section of the first chamber, and an outlet flow opening in the lower section of the first chamber, the fan means comprises at least one first fan adapted to generate a first cooling medium flow inside the first chamber between the inlet flow opening and the outlet flow opening through the first end of the at least one heat exchanger, and the cooling device is adapted to be connected to a device chamber containing a heat generating apparatus.
