Patent ID: 7686069

Claim:
A cooling apparatus for removing heat, said cooling apparatus comprising: a first thermoelectric cooler having a first side and a second side; a first low profile member having an evaporator section and a condenser section, a first side of the evaporator section being in thermal contact with the first side of the first thermoelectric cooler in a manner allowing the condenser section to extend outwardly therefrom in a first direction; a second low profile member having an evaporator section and a condenser section, the condenser section being in thermal contact with the second side of the first thermoelectric cooler in a manner allowing the evaporator section to extend outwardly therefrom in a second direction; a second thermoelectric cooler having a first side and a second side, the first side of the second thermoelectric cooler being in thermal contact with a second side of the evaporator section of the first low profile member; wherein the condenser section of the first low profile member is adapted to dissipate heat to a first air flow; wherein the evaporator section of the second low profile member is adapted to remove heat from a second air flow; and wherein the first direction is substantially opposite to the second direction.
