Abstract

Disclosed herein is an electronic apparatus that comprises a housing, and a circulating path. A heat-generating component is contained in the housing. Liquid coolant for cooling the heat-generating component flows through the circulating path. The circulating path has a first connecting end and a second connecting end connected to the first connecting end. The junction between the first connecting end and the second connecting end is covered with a coolant-absorbent member. The electronic apparatus further includes a leak detection system to alert the user of a fluid leak within the apparatus and a liquid absorption means to absorb any leaking fluid.
