The fan unit may be repositioned along a second side of the heat exchanger so as to redefine the flow of air drawn from and directed towards the heat generating object.

This invention provides a closed-loop cycling type heat-dissipation apparatus, including at least one metal conduit and plural heat-dissipation fins. Hot air in a housing of a screen module is channeled into the metal conduit through an upper exit of the housing. Heat-dissipation fins attached onto the metal conduit then make heat exchange with atmosphere. The heat of the hot air is dissipated to atmosphere by thermal convection or thermal radiation of surfaces of the heat-dissipation fins. The hot air is cooled down and then channeled into the housing of the screen module through a lower entrance thereof. A closed-loop heat-dissipation cycle is formed. Inner temperature of the housing and temperature difference between inner part and outer part of the housing are effectively lowered. The present apparatus can provide a capability sufficient for heat-dissipation while without the aid of other baggage. The heat-dissipation is relied on nature heat-dissipation cycle in a system and without thermal convection between air in the system and atmosphere.
