Liquid coolant is circulated through conduits from a reservoir (48) to the devices (12, 30). A radiator (42) is mounted on the outside of the computer housing (7) and is in heat-exchanging contact with the reservoir (48). The contact is preferably provided by a Peltier effect cooling module (46). A pump (P) is positioned in the reservoir casing (50) to pump the coolant. A brushless electric motor is mounted on the casing (50) to power the pump (P). The reservoir (48) has an upstream portion (58) and a downstream portion (60). Coolant is directed through the upstream portion (58) past heat-gathering fins (64) and into the downstream portion (60).Field of SearchWith electrical component coolingElectrical component Liquid cooled Heating or cooling means and gas pump in housing CONVERTIBLE Cooling electrical device With cooling or fluid feeding, circulating or distributing By ventilation or gas circulation Directly attached to semiconductor device With provision for cooling the housing or its contents For integrated circuit Liquid coolant With cooling means Fluid Fan or blower With heat exchanger unit With heat sink or cooling fins And liquid Liquid With heat exchanger unit With cold plate or heat sink With cooling fins Thermal conduction Through support means For module ELECTRONIC CABINET | |
