Abstract

A cooling system includes a radiator, a compressor that compresses a refrigerant to send the refrigerant to the radiator, and a blower that sends out an airflow suctioned from an intake port that is directed to a first direction from an exhaust port to a second direction by a rotation of an impeller around a rotation axis extending in the first direction. The first direction is parallel or substantially parallel to a direction normal to an installation surface on which the compressor is installed. The second direction is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The radiator is in the first direction relative to the blower. The compressor is in the second direction relative to the radiator and the blower.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cooling system comprising:
 a radiator;   a compressor that compresses a refrigerant to send the refrigerant to the radiator; and   a blower that sends out an airflow suctioned from an intake port that is directed to a first direction from an exhaust port to a second direction by a rotation of an impeller around a rotation axis extending in the first direction; wherein   the first direction is parallel or substantially parallel to a direction normal to an installation surface on which the compressor is installed;   the second direction is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the first direction;   the radiator is in the first direction relative to the blower; and   the compressor is in the second direction relative to the radiator and the blower.   
     
     
         2 . The cooling system according to  claim 1 , wherein a gap in the first direction between an end of the radiator and an end of the blower in the first direction is equal to or less than a width of the compressor in the first direction. 
     
     
         3 . The cooling system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a cabinet including an accommodation chamber that accommodates the radiator, the compressor, and the blower; and   a partition that partitions at least a portion of a space between the radiator and the compressorsur; wherein   the partition includes a plate-shaped panel that intersects the second direction; and   the panel is provided between the blower and a first inner surface of the accommodation chamber that is directed toward the first direction.   
     
     
         4 . The cooling system according to  claim 3 , wherein the partition overlaps with the entire radiator when viewed from the second direction. 
     
     
         5 . The cooling system according to  claim 3 , wherein an end of the panel in the first direction is directly or indirectly connected to at least one of the first inner surface and an end of the blower in the first direction. 
     
     
         6 . The cooling system according to  claim 3 , wherein an end of the panel in a third direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction is directly or indirectly connected to at least one of a second inner surface of the accommodation chamber that is directed to one of the third direction, a third inner surface of the accommodation chamber that is directed to the third direction, and an end of the blower in the third direction. 
     
     
         7 . The cooling system according to  claim 3 , wherein the partition further includes a connector that connects:
 an end of the panel in a direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the second direction; and   at least one of an inner surface of the accommodation chamber that is directed to a direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the second direction and an end of the blower in a direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the second direction.   
     
     
         8 . The cooling system according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the cabinet includes a wall portion provided between the partition and the first inner surface;   the wall portion protrudes from the first inner surface in the second direction relative to the radiator and relative to the compressor, and extends in a direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction; and   the wall portion overlaps with an entirety of the radiator when viewed from the second direction.
