Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a cooling device for cooling an element to be cooled having a high heat generating density such as semiconductor elements using a thermoelectric cooler (which is also referred to as TEC), for example a Peltier cooler.
[0003] 2. Related Art
[0004] Recently, an electronic appliance includes high power and densely integrated components such as microprocessor therein. Since the microprocessor is densely integrated and processes computing and control at high speed, a large amount of heat is generated. Various cooling systems are proposed to cool chips which are high power and densely integrated components. A heat pipe or Peltier device is represented as one of the typical cooling systems.
[0005] The heat pipe comprises a round pipe shaped heat pipe and a flat shaped heat pipe. The flat heat pipe is favorably applied for cooling a component to be cooled of an electronic device such as a CP...
