1. A cooling device for cooling a target area, the cooling device comprising:
a cooling module comprising a cooling medium and a cooling unit, the cooling medium extending along a first axis, and the cooling unit being configured to cool the cooling medium and generate heat;
a heat transfer unit thermally coupled to the cooling unit and configured to transfer heat generated by the cooling unit;
a heat dissipater thermally coupled to the heat transfer unit and configured to dissipate heat transferred by the heat transfer unit, the heat dissipater spaced apart from the cooling module in a first direction; and
a blower configured to blow heat dissipated from the heat dissipater,
wherein the heat dissipater comprises a first heat dissipating member and a second heat dissipating member separated from and unconnected to the first heat dissipating member, the first heat dissipating member is positioned on a first side of the first axis and the second heat dissipating member is positioned on a second opposing side of the first axis, and
wherein the blower is disposed between the first heat dissipating member and the second heat dissipating member, such that the blower is configured to generate airflow passing the first heat dissipating member, the blower, and the second heat dissipating member in this order.
