摘要： A system enclosure uses two heat exchangers and a thermoelectric cooling module to manage heat within the system. An airflow enters the system and is heated by server blades. Portions of the airflow split and travel to various portions of the system enclosure. Some heat is removed from the airflow by passing through the first heat exchanger before circulating around downstream subsystems. The first heat exchanger contacts the cold side of a TEC module, to reduce the temperature of that airflow. The air then enters the network switch module or other subsystem where it is further heated. Thereafter, the second heat exchanger ‘bypasses’ those components by reinserting the upstream heat back into the downstream airflow. The second heat exchanger contacts the hot side of the TEC module. The mixture of all heated air is then expelled from the system enclosure.

摘要： An automatic recirculation airflow damper for use in electronic enclosures utilizing multiple air moving devices to cool electronic components within the enclosure. When an air moving device is removed, the damper automatically closes an orifice associated with the absent air moving device, thus preventing the loss of cooling air from the vacated orifice and the subsequent reduction in cooling capacity. In some embodiments, the damper is attached to the enclosure with hinges. In certain embodiments, the damper is configured with elastomeric material such that the interface between the orifice and the damper offers high impedance to airflow while the damper is in a closed position. The automatic recirculation airflow damper reduces electronic thermal failures and therefore increases the reliability of a system equipped with the device.

摘要： A cooling system for cooling a device in a computer system includes a plurality of cooling fans positioned in series. Each cooling fan includes a hub and at least one fan blade connected to the hub. The fan blade rotates relative to the hub about a substantially radially extending axis and between at least a first position and a second position. Drag to a flow of fluid through the cooling system by the fan blade in the second position is less than drag to the flow of fluid through the cooling system by the fan blade in the first position. Upon the hub rotating within the cooling fan, the fan blade is in the first position, and upon the hub stationary within the cooling fan, the fan blade is in the second position. The cooling system also includes a biasing member connected to the fan blade and the hub that biases the fan blade towards the second position.

摘要： A heat sink having air flow directors on each of multiple fins attached to a heat sink base. The air flow directors direct air flow from dual fans towards a geometric center of the heat sink base, which is above the hottest part of the integrated circuit (IC) package being cooled by the heat sink. In one embodiment, a protrusion in the geometric center of the heat sink base provides additional cooling from air impingement, and also directs air towards the upper portions of the fins. The use of dual fans allows the fans to run at a lower speed than a single fan, thus reducing an overall fan acoustic level. Furthermore, the dual fans allow for a backup fan if one of the fans should fail.

摘要： A cooling system includes a cooling fan with an outlet and an inlet and a shroud surrounding at least a portion of the cooling fan. The cooling fan includes a plurality of fan blades, and each fan blade includes an inlet portion and an outlet portion that define an outer periphery of the fan blade. The outlet portion has a profile defined by a radial distance, perpendicular from a central axis of the fan, increasing in a direction towards the outlet. The average angle, relative to a central axis of the fan, of either a profile of the outlet portion or a profile of a portion of the shroud surrounding the outlet portion is between about ±15° of an average angle to the central axis at which a flow of fluid exits the outer periphery of the fan blades or between about 20° and about 70°.

摘要： A h9eat sink device for conventional memory modules, such as DIMMs, that is configured to be positioned between adjacent memory modules mounted in substantially parallel connectors on a printed circuit board. Each heat sink device includes thermally conductive first and second members configured to thermally couple with electronic components of a conventional memory module. The first and second members may be resiliently biased away from one another so that the resilient bias causes the members to abut respective electronic components when placed between adjacent memory modules. A separate wedge, or a lever-mounted wedge, may be provided for insertion between the members to urge them away from one another and into abutting relationship with electronic components on facing surfaces of the adjacent memory modules. When abutting opposing electronic components, a single heat sink device facilitates heat dissipation from both of the adjacent memory modules.
