A cooling device includes at least one cooling fin, the device being configured to allow a heat-transfer fluid to circulate along the at least one cooling fin in a first direction, a heat exchange being able to be carried out by convection between the at least one cooling fin and the heat-transfer stream, the cooling fin including: a heat exchange surface configured to allow the heat exchange with the heat-transfer fluid, a first wall and a second wall, the first wall and the second wall extending in a plane substantially parallel to the first direction and substantially perpendicular to the heat exchange surface, a cavity contained between the first wall and the second wall, the heat-transfer fluid circulating in the cavity, a heat exchanger contained in the cavity and connected to the heat exchange surface, the heat exchanger having a fractal structure in a plane perpendicular to the first direction of the heat-transfer fluid.
A cooling device comprising at least one cooling fin, the device being configured to allow a heat-transfer fluid to circulate along the at least one cooling fin in a first direction (D1), a heat exchange being able to be carried out by convection between the at least one cooling fin and the heat-transfer stream, the cooling fin comprising:
The method for manufacturing a cooling fin as claimed in claim 14, wherein the second modification direction (D3″) is substantially opposite to the first modification direction (D3′).
