Patent Images
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a housing including an opening;
an object to be cooled that is disposed in the housing;
an air flow generation unit that generates cooling air which flows through the opening into the housing and flows to the object to be cooled;
a plurality of filter units that remove a foreign matter contained in the cooling air;
a blocking unit that blocks at least one filter unit to be cleaned, among the filter units;
a controller that increases a flow rate of the cooling air using the air flow generation unit; and
a cleaning processing unit that cleans the filter unit to be cleaned, the filter unit to be cleaned being blocked by the blocking unit.
