Abstract
The invention provides a computer with refrigeration. The computer has a housing, a processor, a refrigeration loop and a fan. The processor is located within the housing at a location distant from an air inlet into the housing. The refrigeration loop includes a compressor, a condenser, and expansion valve and an evaporator located in line one after the other. The evaporator is near the air inlet. The fan causes movement of air through the housing. The air passes over the evaporator to cool the air and the processor is primarily cooled by the air.
