Abstract
The rotation of axial-flow blades permits air entered through an inlet port to exit directly to outside of a case in the axial direction, and the rotation of centrifugal blades permits air entered through the inlet port to exit through a side surface outlet port to the outside of the case in the centrifugal direction. Accordingly, the amount of flow of air exiting from inside of the case can be increased so that the amount of heat dissipation is increased. It is therefore able to provide a cooling apparatus and electronic equipment mounting the cooling apparatus with improved cooling efficiency while achieving a small thickness.
