Abstract

A cooling duct for cooling heat generating elements inside a casing with outside air includes an intake vent through which outside air taken in from outside the casing is drawn, a guiding unit configured to guide the outside air drawn through the intake vent to a first target element being a heat generating element to be cooled, a discharge vent through which the outside air guided by the guiding unit is discharged to the first target element, and a branch pipe provided in the guiding unit and configured to guide part of the outside air flowing in the guiding unit to a second target element being another heat generating element to be cooled.
