Abstract

A cooling unit includes a tank having an inlet port and a discharge port for refrigerant, first and second radiators connected to the tank, the first and second radiators each having a flow path, an inlet chamber defined in the tank for supplying the refrigerant flowing therein from the inlet port to the first radiator, a discharge chamber defined in the tank for discharging the refrigerant cooled in the second radiator to the discharge port, and a reservoir in which bubbles generated in the refrigerant are collected, the reservoir being provided between the inlet chamber and the discharge chamber in the tank.

Claims (14)

1. A cooling unit comprising:

a tank having an inlet port and a discharge port for a refrigerant;

first and second radiators coupled to the tank, the first and second radiators each having a flow path;

third and fourth radiators coupled to the tank, the third and fourth radiators each having flow paths;

an inlet chamber defined in the tank for supplying the refrigerant flowing therein from the inlet port to the first radiator and the third radiator;

a discharge chamber defined in the tank for discharging the refrigerant flowing therein from the second radiator and the fourth radiator to the discharge port;

a first reservoir defined in the tank and arranged below the inlet chamber and the discharge chamber, the refrigerant flowing from the first radiator is stored in the first reservoir and is supplied to the second radiator; and

a second reservoir defined in the tank and arranged above the inlet chamber and the discharge chamber, the refrigerant flowing from the third radiator is stored in the second reservoir and is supplied to the fourth radiator,

wherein the first reservoir and the second reservoir are reservoirs in which bubbles generated in the refrigerant are collected, and

wherein the first radiator and the third radiator are disposed on a first side face of the tank, and the second radiator and the fourth radiator are disposed on a second side face of the tank opposite the first radiator and the first side face.

2. The cooling unit according to claim 1 , further comprising

a heat insulating layer formed around the discharge chamber in the tank.

3. The cooling unit according to claim 2 , wherein the heat insulating layer is an air layer.

4. The cooling unit according to claim 2 , wherein the heat insulating layer is a heat insulating material.
