Abstract
A cool air-supplying device for a computer system. The computer system includes a computer apparatus and the computer apparatus includes a housing. The cool air-supplying device includes a casing connected to the housing of the computer system. The casing has an intake vent for receiving air and an outlet vent for outputting air. The cool air-supplying device further includes a thermoelectric cooler for cooling refrigerantwithin a heat pipe, the heat pipe installed inside the casing for transferring refrigerant cooled by the thermoelectric cooler to the outlet vent. A first fan installed at one end of the heat pipe transfers air cooled by the heat pipe to the housing of the computer system via the outlet vent.
