Abstract
A cooling device which prevents ambient persons from being exposed to an unpleasant feeling as much as possible by properly controlling an exhausting direction of the air which is used for cooling and exhausted from a chassis and an image projection apparatus having the cooling device are obtained. The cooing device cools first and second members to be cooled provided in the chassis, has first and second exhaust fans for guiding winds which have cooled the respective first and second members to an outside of the chassis, and is characterized in that the first and second exhaust fans are arranged so as to face the same surface of the chassis and the winds exhausted from the first and second exhaust fans are mixed.
Claims8
A cooling device which cools a first member to be cooled and a second member to be cooled which are provided in a chassis, comprising:
- a first exhaust fan which guides a wind that has cooled the first member to be cooled to an outside of the chassis;
- a second exhaust fan which guides a wind that has cooled the second member to be cooled to the outside of the chassis;
- and
- a deflection unit which deflects the wind which is exhausted from at least either the first exhaust fan or the second exhaust fan so that a direction of the wind which is exhausted from the first exhaust fan and a direction of the wind which is exhausted from the second exhaust fan cross each other,
- wherein the first exhaust fan and the second exhaust fan are arranged so as to face a same surface of the chassis and in parallel with respect to each other, and
- wherein the wind which is exhausted from the first exhaust fan and the wind which is exhausted from the second exhaust fan are mixed.
