  • Publication number: 20230320029
    Abstract: A liquid cooling module includes a heat-receiver, an inlet-passage in which a flow-path through which the liquid-refrigerant flowed from an inlet flows is formed, a first flow-passage in which the flow-path continues from the inlet-passage, and that is formed as spreading in a fan-like shape as viewed in a normal-direction of a heat-receiving-surface, a second flow-passage in which the flow-path continues from the first flow-passage, and that is formed toward the heat-receiver in the normal-direction, a diffuser in which grooves that continue from the second flow-passage in the heat-receiver and diffuses the liquid-refrigerant along a surface on an opposite side of the heat-receiving-surface is formed, a third flow-passage in which the flow-path continues from the grooves, and that is formed in the normal-direction and a direction in which the flow-path is separating from the heat-receiver, and an outlet-passage in which the flow-path continues from the third flow-passage to an outlet.

  • Publication number: 20230240046
    Abstract: A heat sink comprises a bottom plate and a plurality of fins. The bottom plate is formed in a T-shape of a head portion and a body portion and includes a coupling region in which the body portion is thermally coupled to a heat generation element; and the plurality of fins that are erected at the head portion and the body portion of the bottom plate and extend in a direction from the head portion toward the body portion. With the plurality of fins, a pressure loss of first air which flows through a center portion of the head portion is smaller than a pressure loss of second air which flows through a side portion of the head portion in a case where air flows between the plurality of fins along the direction.
