Patent ID: 7751191

Claim:
A cooling system that promotes cooling of a device including a heat source therein, the cooling system comprising: a cooling unit that absorbs, upstream from the heat source, heat from intake air that the device takes in from outside the device to cool the heat source and dissipates the heat outside of a flow path of the intake air, wherein the cooling unit is a cooling plate having a first side and a second side, the cooling unit being provided at an edge of the air inlet so that the first side faces the flow path of the intake air taken by the air inlet, the second side being cooled by absorbing heat from the first side, discharging the heat to the second side, and discharging the heat to a fluid flow, a fluid control unit that lets the fluid flow toward the cooling unit so as to discharge the heat absorbed by the cooling unit; wherein the cooling system is a system that cools a computer system including an air inlet, and wherein the fluid control unit lets fluid flow along a surface of the second side of the cooling unit so as to be isolated from the intake air, thus discharging the heat absorbed by the cooling unit.
