A cooling device has a closed circulating channel for circulating coolant,
and in the channel, a radiator and a contact-heat-exchanger type
centrifugal pump are provided. A heat-producing electronic component
contacts with the centrifugal pump, and the coolant in the pump collects
the heat off the component due to the heat exchanging function. Then the
heat is dissipated from the radiator. The pump includes a pump-casing
made of highly heat conductive material and an impeller. The pump casing
has a base wall and a cover wall opposite the base wall. The base wall
has an outer wall face constituting a heat-receiving face, and an inner
wall face facing the impeller. The impeller is disposed in a pump room
defined between the base wall and cover wall of the casing. A sucking
channel is provided between the heat-receiving face and an inner wall
face of the pump room. This inner wall has a recess where protrusions
extending toward the impeller or dimples are provided.
