Patent ID: 8379384

Claim:
A cooling structure for an electronic device, the structure comprising: an inlet for receiving and conveying a flow in a first flow direction towards a first component located in a first flow channel; an outlet for conveying the flow from the first component located in the first flow channel; and a second flow channel, which starts from a port oriented transversely to the first flow direction or away from the first flow direction, the port being located upstream of the first component for receiving part of the flow from the inlet and for conveying the part of the flow to an electronic component located in the second flow channel, and wherein the second flow channel includes an intermediate space and a component space separated from one another by a partition wall, the intermediate space being located at a beginning of the second flow channel for communicating with the component space through an opening in the partition wall, and an area of the port, through which the flow will enter the intermediate space, being smaller than an area of the opening in the partition wall, through which the flow will pass from the intermediate space into the component space.
