1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a heat dissipation device, and more particularly to a heat dissipation device for cooling a large-sized electronic appliance.
2. Description of Related Art
Large-sized electronic appliances, such as workstations or servers produce heat during operation to cause the working temperature of the electronic appliances becoming high. When the working temperature of a large-sized electronic appliance achieves a high level, the electronic appliance is easily damaged. Therefore, how to keep the working temperature of the large-sized electronic appliance at a controlled level is a very important issue.
To reduce the working temperature of a large-sized electronic appliance, an air conditioner is always used to make the large-sized electronic appliance working at a good condition and release hot air with carbon dioxide to cause acceleration of global warming.
