US 2026/0139897 A1 · COOLING DEVICE AND WATER PURIFIER COMPRISING SAME

Abstract

Disclosed are a cooling device and a water purifier comprising same. The cooling device, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, comprises: a cooling flow path of having a fluid flowing therein; a cooling frame making contact with the cooling flow path so as to carry out heat-exchange in order to cool the fluid flowing in the cooling flow path; and a cooling module coupled with the cooling frame so as to cool the cooling frame by receiving heat transferred to the cooling frame. The cooling flow path comprises: a first cooling flow path wound outside the cooling frame and fluidly connected to the outside so as to form one portion of the flow path in which the fluid is flowing; and a second cooling flow path wound inside the cooling frame and fluidly connected to the first cooling flow path and the outside so as to form the other portion of the flow path in which the fluid is flowing. A flow path receiving part for receiving a portion of the outer circumference of the first cooling flow path may be formed on the outer circumference of the cooling frame.
