Abstract (en)

Cooling apparatus (10) which comprises: a support structure (11) which comprises a resting surface (12); a micro-channel heat exchanger (15) arranged vertically on the resting surface (12), the heat exchanger comprising a plurality of micro-channel tubes (25) arranged horizontally for the flow of a fluid and transverse air passages (26) between the micro-channel tubes, wherein the heat exchanger is curved along a circular line so as to define a circular upper opening (27) for the passage of air entering through the transverse air passages and a circular surface on the resting surface (12) delimited at its perimeter by the heat exchanger; a fan (19) arranged on the circular upper opening (27), and an airflow guide element (40) comprising a body (40a) of a generally frusto-conical shape arranged centrally on the circular surface of the resting surface (12).
