摘要： An apparatus for tandem cleaning of an emitter electrode and collector electrode in electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerator and precipitator devices via movement of a cleaning mechanism including respective cleaning surfaces positioned to frictionally engage the emitter electrode and collector electrode. The cleaning mechanism causes the respective cleaning surfaces to travel along a longitudinal extent of the emitter electrode and, in tandem, over a major dimension of the collector electrode to remove detrimental material from respective electrode surfaces. Alternatively, the electrodes can be transited in tandem in frictional engagement with a fixed cleaning mechanism in the same or opposite directions. A conditioning material is optionally deposited on an electrode to at least partially mitigate ozone, erosion, corrosion, oxidation, or dendrite formation on the electrodes. The conditioning material can include an ozone reducer.

摘要： An electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerator includes an emitter electrode and leading surfaces of a collector electrode that are substantially exposed to ion bombardment. Heat transfer surfaces downstream of the emitter electrode along a fluid flow path include a first portion not substantially exposed to the ion bombardment that is conditioned with a first ozone reducing material. The leading surfaces of the collector electrode are not conditioned with the first ozone reducing material, but may include a different surface conditioning. The downstream heat transfer surfaces and the leading surfaces can be separately formed and joined to form the unitary structure or can be integrally formed. The electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerator can be used in a thermal management assembly of an electronic device with a heat dissipating device thermally coupled to the conditioned heat transfer surfaces.

摘要： In thermal management systems that employ EHD devices to motivate flow of air between ventilated boundary portions of an enclosure, it can be desirable to have some heat transfer surfaces participate in electrohydrodynamic acceleration of fluid flow while providing additional heat transfer surfaces that may not. In some embodiments, both collector electrodes and additional heat transfer surfaces are thermally coupled into a heat transfer path. Collector electrodes then contribute both to flow of cooling air and to heat transfer to the air flow so motivated. The collector electrodes and additional heat transfer surfaces may be parts of a unitary, or thermally coupled, structure that is introduced into a flow path at multiple positions therealong. In some embodiments, the collector electrodes and additional heat transfer surfaces may be proximate each other along the flow path. In some embodiments, the collector electrodes and additional heat transfer surfaces may be separate structures.

摘要： Performance of an electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerator device may be improved and adverse events such as sparking or arcing may be reduced based, amongst other things, on electrode geometries and/or positional interrelationships of the electrodes. For example, in a class of EHD devices that employ a longitudinally elongated corona discharge electrode (often, but not necessarily, a wire), a plurality of generally planar, collector electrodes may be positioned so as to present respective leading surfaces toward the corona discharge electrode. The generally planar collector electrodes may be oriented so that their major surfaces are generally orthogonal to the longitudinal extent of the corona discharge electrode. In such EHD devices, a high intensity electric field can be established in the “gap” between the corona discharge electrode and leading surfaces of the collector electrodes.
