Patent ID: 6839234

Claim:
A cooling device operable to cool an electronic component, comprising: a coolant circuit; a pump for circulating a coolant through the circuit, the pump including: an impeller having vanes and a rotor magnet, a motor stator for rotating the rotor magnet, and a housing accommodating the impeller therein and having a heat absorbing surface for receiving heat from the electronic component and a second surface opposite the heat absorbing surface, said housing including a side surface connecting the second surface and heat absorbing surface and extending around the impeller; an inlet port provided on the side surface of the pump, for putting the coolant into the pump, and an outlet port provided on the side surface of the pump, for putting the coolant out from inside of the pump; and a radiator for dissipating the heat of the coolant in the circuit, wherein the pump is in direct connection with the electronic component for establishing thermal contact between the housing of the pump and the electronic component.
