A cooling device includes a first cooling section, a second cooling section, a first pump section, a second pump section, a branch section, a first flow path section, a second flow path section, a merging section, and a connection section. The branch section branches a refrigerant into two. The first flow path section connects the first cooling section and the first pump section, and one portion of the refrigerant passes through the first flow path section. The second flow path section connects the second cooling section and the second pump section, and another portion of the refrigerant passes through the second flow path section. The merging section merges the refrigerant having passed through each of the first flow path section and the second flow path section. The connection section connects the first and second flow path sections between the branch section and the merging section.

A liquid feeder includes a first casing with a flow path, and a pump. An upstream flow path located upstream of the pump and communicating with a pump inlet includes a first flow path, a second flow path, a third flow path, a fourth flow path, a fifth flow path, and a sixth flow path that are located on one side in a first direction, another side in the first direction, one side in a second direction, another side in the third direction, one side in the third direction, and another side in the third direction with respect to the pump inlet, respectively.

Liquid feeder and cooling unit

A tank includes a housing, a tank chamber inflow hole, a tank chamber outflow hole, and a protruding flow path. The housing includes a tank chamber. Liquid flows into the tank chamber from the tank chamber inflow hole. Liquid in the tank chamber flows out from the tank chamber outflow hole. The protruding flow path is connected to the tank chamber outflow hole, and protrudes into the tank chamber from the tank chamber outflow hole. With this arrangement, outflow of gas from the tank chamber through which liquid flows is suppressed.

A pump device includes a first pump, a second pump, and a casing. The first pump and the second pump are centrifugal pumps. The casing includes a first pump chamber in which the first pump is located and a second pump chamber in which the second pump is located. The first pump chamber includes a first bottom surface, a first side surface, a first inlet, and a first outlet. The first bottom surface is located on one side in the first direction with respect to a first motor of the first pump. The first side surface is connected to the first bottom surface and extends in the first direction. The first outlet is open with respect to the first side surface. The second pump chamber includes a second bottom surface, a second side surface, a second inlet, and a second outlet.

Pump device and cooling device

A cooling assembly includes a cold plate in contact with a heat generating component, a housing on one side of the cooling assembly in a first direction with respect to the cold plate, a first wall located between the housing and the cold plate, and a second wall separating a plate chamber defined by the housing and the first wall into a first plate chamber and a second plate chamber adjacent to each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The first wall includes a first through hole opposing the cold plate in the first plate chamber and a second through hole opposing the cold plate in the second plate chamber.

Cooling unit

A liquid feeder includes a pump which is prevented from idling, and a replenisher including a cylinder that is a bottomed tube including an opening on a side adjacent to a communication flow path, the opening being connected to the communication flow path, and that is capable of accommodating a liquid in at least a portion of the cylinder, a seal that is housed in the cylinder in a movable manner along the cylinder, and seals the liquid in the cylinder, and a pressurizer to pressurize the seal toward a pump chamber.

Liquid feeder

A heat dissipation device includes a first heat dissipator, a second heat dissipator, a first tank connected to one side of each of the first heat dissipator and the second heat dissipator in a first direction, and a second tank connected to another side in the first direction. A coolant flows through an inside of the first heat dissipator, the second heat dissipator, the first tank, and the second tank. The first tank includes a tank-side first outflow port through which the coolant flows out to a first cooling device, and a tank-side first inflow port through which the coolant from the first cooling device flows in. The second tank includes a tank-side second outflow port through which the coolant flows out to a second cooling device, and a tank-side second inflow port through which the coolant from the second cooling device flows in.

Heat dissipation device and cooling unit

A heat dissipation device includes a radiator, a first tank, and a pump assembly. The radiator cools liquid and extends in a first direction. The first tank is connected to the radiator, and the liquid passes through the first tank. The pump assembly is connected to the first tank and circulates the liquid flowing in from the first tank. The radiator includes a pipe through which the liquid passes. The pipe extends along the first direction. The pump assembly is located on one side in the first direction of the radiator. The pump assembly includes a first pump, a second pump, and a flow path portion. The first pump feeds and circulates the liquid. The second pump feeds and circulates the liquid. The flow path portion guides the liquid fed from the first pump and the second pump toward an outside of the pump assembly.

A cooling unit includes a cold plate extending in a horizontal direction, a tank defining a tank chamber that stores a refrigerant, the tank including an outer tank surface and an inner tank surface, and a pump defining a pump chamber, the pump including an outer pump surface and an inner pump surface. The pump chamber is spaced away from and outside of the tank chamber. A portion of the outer tank surface and a portion of the outer pump surface are directly adjacent to one another in the horizontal direction. The pump chamber accommodates a rotating body that transfers the refrigerant. An upper end of the tank chamber in a first direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction is positioned higher than an upper end of the pump chamber in the first direction.

A liquid feeder switches a flow path of a liquid having flowed in from an inflow port to one of a flow path communicating with a first base communication port and a bypass outflow path. When a pump is attached to a base, the bypass outflow path is closed to allow the liquid having flowed in from the inflow port to flow to the pump. When the pump is removed from the base, the bypass outflow path is opened to allow the liquid having flowed in from the inflow port to flow from the bypass outflow path to the outflow port. The liquid feeder is able to prevent liquid leakage when a pump of a liquid feeder is replaced or repaired.

A cooling device includes a cooling plate with a bottom wall portion with a lower surface which contacts a heat-generating component, a top wall portion which covers an upper surface of the bottom wall portion, a side wall portion which couples the bottom wall portion and the top wall portion, and an internal space which is surrounded by the bottom wall portion, the top wall portion, and the side wall portion to define a first cooling medium flow passage. The bottom wall portion includes blades on the upper surface. An inlet port or an outlet port is on one end side of the first cooling medium flow passage. An inner peripheral wall of the side wall portion includes a first bent portion which is bent convex inward between ends of the blades and the at least one of the inlet port and the outlet port.

A cooling device includes a cooling assembly which includes a cold plate extending in a first direction, a pump and a tank on one side of the cold plate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a partition extending in the first direction and covering the cold plate on one side in the second direction. The cold plate and the partition define a first refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows. The pump includes a pump chamber in which an impeller is housed, the impeller moving the refrigerant. The tank includes a tank chamber in which the refrigerant flows. The pump chamber and the tank chamber communicate with each other through a first tank hole portion. The partition includes a first hole portion through which the first refrigerant flow path and the tank chamber communicate. The first tank hole portion is provided on one side in the first direction with respect to the first hole portion.
