A cooling device including a housing frame, a heat exchanger, an electrically drivable fan unit, a control unit, and a sensor unit. The housing frame can be disposed on a first surface of the heat exchanger. The fan unit is configured so that, during operation of the fan unit, a first air flow is produced toward the first surface of the heat exchanger. The fan unit is accommodated in a recess of the housing frame. The housing frame has at least one air channel having an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening, the air channel being formed parallel to the first surface of the heat exchanger, allowing a second air flow to pass through the air channel along the first surface. A measured quantity is recorded by the sensor unit, and the fan unit is driven by the control unit as a function of the recorded measured quantity.

The subject matter described in this specification is directed to systems and methods for dissipating heat from electronic components supporting autonomous vehicle systems. In particular, the specification describes how the electronic components can be positioned in a duct through which conditioned cabin air can be drawn to convectively dissipate heat from the electronic components.

A set of electronic package elements intended to be mounted on an electronic board having a component to be cooled including: a chassis, a heatsink fixed by a retaining piece inside the chassis, a cover configured to be fixed on the chassis so as to retain the electronic board in the package. The heatsink is configured to be fixed on the electronic board while maintaining a predetermined distance between a lower face of the heatsink and the component. The cover is configured to be able to be fixed by a fixing point to the heatsink. The retaining piece is connected to the heatsink so as to allow the heatsink a translational movement relative to the chassis in three orthogonal directions.

The present disclosure provides a cooling system. The cooling system includes: a first set of fans mounted on an inward-facing side of an air inlet on an outer shell of a case; a second set of fans mounted on an inward-facing side of an air outlet on the outer shell of the case, for generating, in cooperation with the first set of fans, a high-pressure airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet; a first heat sink connected to heat generating component in the case, for absorbing heat from the heat generating component and transferring the absorbed heat to a second heat sink; and the second heat sink mounted on an inward-facing side of the second set of fans and cooled by the high-pressure airflow.
