Abstract
A cooling device for an electric or electronic apparatus includes an inhaling member formed to draw in air and then discharge the air heated by heat generated from a component of the electric or electronic apparatus, an exhausting member communicating with the inhaling member and formed to receive the heated air discharged from the inhaling member, a fan provided adjacent to the exhausting member to forcibly draw in the air from the exhausting member, and a heat exchanger absorbing the heat from the air discharged from the fan and discharging the heat through a body casing of the electric or electronic apparatus. The cooling device for the electric or electronic apparatus has a high cooling efficiency, reduces noise, and prevents an inflow of dust.
Claims23
A cooling device for an electric or electronic apparatus having a body casing containing a component generating heat, comprising:
- an inhaling member drawing air and then discharging the air heated by the heat generated from the component of the electric or electronic apparatus;
- an exhausting member communicating with the inhaling member to receive the heated air from the inhaling member and then discharge the heated air;
- a fan provided adjacent to the exhausting member to forcibly draw the heated air from the exhausting member and discharge the heated air;
- and
- a heat exchanger absorbing the heat from the heated air discharged from the fan, and discharging the heat through the body casing of the electric or electronic apparatus.
An electric or electronic apparatus having a component generating heat, comprising:
- a cooling device comprising:
- an inhaling member drawing air and then discharging the air heated by the heat generated from the component of the electric or electronic apparatus,
- an exhausting member communicating with the inhaling member to receive the heated air from the inhaling member and then discharge the heated air,
- a fan provided adjacent to the exhausting member to forcibly draw the heated air from the exhausting member and discharge the heated air, and
- a heat exchanger absorbing the heat from the heated air discharged from the fan;
- and
- a body casing on which the cooling device is mounted, in which the component is disposed, and through which the heat is discharged from the heat exchanger.
An apparatus having a component generating heat in a computer, comprising:
- a body casing having an inside surface forming an inside containing the component inside thereof;
- and
- a cooling device mounted on the inside surface of the body casing, the cooling device comprising:
- an inhaling member drawing air heated by the heat of the component in the inside of the body casing,
- an exhausting member communicating with the inhaling member to receive the heated air from the inhaling member,
- a fan forcibly drawing the heated air from the inhaling member through the exhausting member, and discharging the heated air into the inside of the body casing, and
- a heat exchanger absorbing the heat from the heated air discharged from the fan, and discharging the heat through the inside surface of the body casing.
