Liquid cooling apparatus

Abstract

a liquid cooling apparatus provided on an apparatus having a heat unit generating heat, and configured to cool the heat unit by coolant includes; a coolant tank configured to store the coolant; a radiator configured to cool the coolant; and a coolant pipe which is a flow path of the coolant and connecting the coolant tank and the radiator. The coolant tank is arranged adjacent to the radiator in a horizontal direction when the apparatus disposed statically. A size of the coolant tank in a vertical direction is larger than a size of the coolant tank in a horizontal direction when the apparatus is disposed statically.

1 . A liquid cooling apparatus provided on an apparatus having a heat unit generating heat, and configured to cool the heat unit by coolant comprising: 
 a coolant tank configured to store the coolant;    a radiator configured to cool the coolant; and    a coolant pipe which is a flow path of the coolant and connecting the coolant tank and the radiator; wherein,    the coolant tank is arranged adjacent to the radiator in a horizontal direction when the apparatus disposed statically, and    a size of the coolant tank in a vertical direction is larger than a size of the coolant tank in a horizontal direction when the apparatus is disposed statically.    
   
   
       2 . The liquid cooling apparatus according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein, the coolant pipe connects to a center portion of the coolant tank in a vertical direction when the apparatus is disposed statically.    
   
   
       3 . The liquid cooling apparatus according to  claim 2 , 
 wherein, the coolant tank has a shape expanding from the center portion to upper side and expanding from the center portion to lower side, assuming a vertical direction as up-down direction when the apparatus is disposed statically.    
   
   
       4 . The liquid cooling apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising infusion openings for infusing the coolant into the coolant tank, 
 wherein, the infusion openings are arranged on upper portion and lower portion of the coolant tank, assuming a vertical direction as up-down direction when the apparatus is disposed statically.    
   
   
       5 . The liquid cooling apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, 
 the coolant tank includes a pair of cooling tanks, and    the pair of cooling tanks are arranged on the both side of the radiator.    
   
   
       6 . A liquid cooling apparatus provided on an apparatus having a heat unit generating heat, and configured to cool the heat unit by coolant comprising: 
 a pair of coolant tanks configured to store the coolant;    a radiator configured to cool the coolant; and    a coolant pipe which is a flow path of the coolant and connecting the coolant tank and the radiator; wherein,    the pair of coolant tanks includes an upper tank arranged on upper side of the radiator and a lower tank arranged on lower side of the radiator, assuming a vertical direction as up-down direction when the apparatus is disposed statically,    one part on an upper surface of the upper tank expands upper than other part on the upper surface of the upper tank,    one part on a lower surface of the lower tank expands lower than other part on the lower surface of the lower tank, and    a shape of the upper tank is identical with a shape of the lower tank.    
   
   
       7 . The liquid cooling apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein, 
 one part on a lower surface of the upper tank expands lower than other part on the lower surface of the upper tank, and    one part on an upper surface of the lower tank expands upper than other part on the upper surface of the lower tank.    
   
   
       8 . The liquid cooling apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein, 
 the coolant pipe respectively connects to center portions of the upper tank and the lower tank in a vertical direction when the apparatus is disposed statically, and    the upper tank and the lower tank respectively have shape expanding from the center portion to upper side and expanding from the center portion to lower side, assuming a vertical direction as up-down direction when the apparatus is disposed statically.
