Abstract
A cooling apparatus includes a body frame holding a fan. The fan includes a blade housed in a casing and rotating about a fan shaft and discharges air from a casing's fan inlet opening surrounding the fan shaft into a casing's fan exhaust opening on a tangent line of the blade's rotational direction. The body frame includes an air-leading duct feeding the discharged air to a heat exchanger in a first direction. The fan tilts by a first tilt from a first plane orthogonal to the first direction to position, in the first direction, the fan exhaust opening closer to the heat exchanger than the blade, and by a second tilt about the fan shaft to tilt, as viewed from the first direction, the fan exhaust opening from a direction parallel to a second plane parallel to the first direction.
