Special-shaped tube cooling and heat dissipation system

Abstract

A special-shaped tube cooling and heat dissipation system includes a cooling module including a cooling chip, a liquid cooling tube, a cooling fin block and a first fan for generating cold air, a heat dissipation module including a radiator with heat pipes and a second fan, and a piping system. Through the piping system, the heat of the cooling module is transported to the radiator through the liquid, and then the heat in the liquid is discharged, and the liquid is recirculated back to the cooling module. The liquid cooling pipe and the heat pipes are flat tubes extruded from aluminum alloy to increase the heat dissipation area, each defining therein a plurality of flow channels. The liquid cooling tube and the heat pipes are respectively combined with flow guide devices that connect the heat pipes in series to form a circulating heat dissipation flow channel.
