COOLING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A cooling apparatus characterized in comprising:
- a frame-shaped main body portion that has upper and lower openings;
an upper portion heatsink and a lower portion heatsink that are mounted above and below said main body portion so as to cover said upper and lower openings of said main body portion;
a partitioning plate that is disposed so as to divide an internal portion of said main body portion into upper and lower sections, so as to form an upper portion space with said upper portion heatsink, and so as to form a lower portion space with said lower portion heatsink;
a liquid coolant supplying header that is formed between said upper portion heatsink and said partitioning plate;
a liquid coolant discharging header that is formed between said lower portion heatsink and said partitioning plate so as to have a flow channel direction that is parallel to a flow channel direction of said liquid coolant supplying header;
a vertical flow channel that is separated from said liquid coolant supplying header by a predetermined distance in a width direction that is perpendicular to said flow channel directions, that passes through said partitioning plate vertically, that extends parallel to said flow channel direction of said liquid coolant supplying header, and that communicates between said upper portion space and said lower portion space; and
a liquid coolant distributing structural body that is disposed inside said liquid coolant supplying header, that is configured into an external shape such that a flow channel cross-sectional area of said liquid coolant supplying header becomes gradually smaller from an upstream end toward a downstream end, and that distributes a liquid coolant that flows through said liquid coolant supplying header toward said vertical flow channel.

Abstract
A liquid coolant supplying header is configured on a central portion in the width direction between an upper portion heatsink and a partitioning plate, a liquid coolant discharging header is configured on a central portion in the width direction between a lower portion heatsink and the partitioning plate so as to be parallel to the liquid coolant supplying header, vertical flow channels are formed so as to pass through the partitioning plate vertically on two sides in the width direction so as to be parallel to the liquid coolant supplying header, a liquid coolant distributing structural body is disposed inside the liquid coolant supplying header, and an external shape of the liquid coolant distributing structural body is formed such that flow channel cross-sectional area of the liquid coolant supplying header becomes gradually smaller from an upstream end toward a downstream end.
