Abstract

A heat exchanger includes: a plurality of first heat radiation members, each of the plurality of first heat radiation members including a first refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows; a plurality of second heat radiation members, each of the plurality of second heat radiation members including a second refrigerant flow path through which the refrigerant flows; and a fin attached between the plurality of second heat radiation members, wherein an interval between the plurality of first heat radiation members is smaller than an interval between the plurality of second heat radiation members.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heat exchanger comprising:
a plurality of first heat radiation members, each of the plurality of first heat radiation members including a first refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows;
a plurality of second heat radiation members, each of the plurality of second heat radiation members including a second refrigerant flow path through which the refrigerant flows; and
a fin attached between the plurality of second heat radiation members,
wherein an interval between the plurality of first heat radiation members is smaller than an interval between the plurality of second heat radiation members, and no fin is provided between the plurality of first heat radiation members.

2. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first heat radiation members and the plurality of second heat radiation members are arranged side by side in a vertical direction.

3. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first heat radiation members and the plurality of second heat radiation members are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction.

4. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first header portion partitioned into a first space and a second space; and
a second header portion including a third space,
wherein the first refrigerant flow path interconnects the first space and the third space, and
the second refrigerant flow path interconnects the second space and the third space.

5. The heat exchanger according to claim 4 , wherein the first header portion includes:
a first connection port that is connected to the first space so that the refrigerant flows or flows out there through; and
a second connection port that is connected to the second space so that the refrigerant flows in or flows out there through.

6. The heat exchanger according to claim 5 , wherein the second header portion, the first heat radiation members, and the second heat radiation members are attached on each of opposite sides of the first header portion.

7. The heat exchanger according to claim 5 , wherein the second header portion, the first heat radiation members, and the second heat radiation members are attached on only one side of the first header portion.

8. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second refrigerant flow paths includes a perforated pipe including a plurality of holes arranged in parallel, each of the holes passing through the perforated pipe from one end surface of the perforated pipe to another end surface thereof.

9. A cooling unit comprising:
a heat receiving part thermally connected to a heat generation component;
a heat exchanger; and
a pump that circulates a refrigerant between the heat receiving part and the heat exchanger,
wherein the heat exchanger includes:
a plurality of first heat radiation members, each of the plurality of first heat radiation members including a first refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows;
a plurality of second heat radiation members, each of the plurality of second heat radiation members including a second refrigerant flow path through which the refrigerant flows; and
a fin attached between the plurality of second heat radiation members,
wherein an interval between the plurality of first heat radiation members is smaller than an interval between the plurality of second heat radiation members, and no fin is provided between the plurality of first heat radiation members.

10. The cooling unit according to claim 9 , further comprising:
a tank that temporarily stores the refrigerant between the heat exchanger and the pump.

11. The cooling unit according to claim 9 , wherein the pump is plural.

12. An electronic device comprising:
a case;
a heat generation component attached in the case;
a heat receiving part attached in the case and thermally connected to the heat generation component;
a heat exchanger; and
a pump that circulates a refrigerant between the heat receiving part and the heat exchanger,
wherein the heat exchanger includes:
a plurality of first heat radiation members, each of the plurality of first heat radiation members including a first refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows;
a plurality of second heat radiation members, each of the plurality of second heat radiation members including a second refrigerant flow path through which the refrigerant flows; and
a fin attached between the plurality of second heat radiation members,
wherein an interval between the plurality of first heat radiation members is smaller than an interval between the plurality of second heat radiation members, and no fin is provided between the plurality of first heat radiation members.

13. The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the pump is plural.

14. The electronic device according to claim 12 , further comprising:
a plurality of fans disposed on an end of the case; and
a duct provided between the plurality of fans and the heat exchanger to guide air from the plurality of fans to the heat exchanger.
