Patent number: 5592363Abstract: An electronic apparatus having a plurality of semiconductor devices which produce heat during operation, with a heat sink having a plurality of tabular or pin-type fins is provided on each semiconductor device. Nozzles are associated with the heat sinks so as to supply a cooling fluid into the heat sinks. The heat sinks are so arranged that all these heat sinks guide and discharge the cooling fluid in the same direction. A breadth of the respective nozzles, as measured in the direction (x-direction) of the flow and discharge of the cooling fluid determined by the heat sink is less than that of the associated heat sink. A width of the nozzle, as measured in the direction (y-direction) perpendicular to the x-direction is smaller than that of the associated heat sink. A space between adjacent nozzles provide a discharge passage of an ample cross-section which reduces resistance encountered by the heated cooling medium to be discharged therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1993Date of Patent: January 7, 1997Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takayuki Atarashi, Toshio Hatada, Takahiro Daikoku, Nobuo Kawasaki, Toshiki Iino, Tamotsu Tsukaguchi, Kenichi Kasai, Fumiyuki Kobayashi, Yoshito Hayashi
