    摘要: An electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerator apparatus includes a corona electrode having an axial shape and configured to receive a first voltage. The electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerator apparatus includes a collector electrode disposed coaxially around the at least one corona electrode and configured to receive a second voltage. Application of the first and second voltages on the corona electrode and the collector electrode, respectively, causes fluid proximate to the corona electrode to ionize and travel in a first direction between the corona electrode and the collector electrode, thereby causing other fluid molecules to travel in a second direction to generate a fluid stream. In at least one embodiment of the invention, the ionized fluid proximate to the emitter electrode travels in a radial direction from the corona electrode to the collector electrode, causing the other fluid molecules to travel in an axial direction to thereby generate the fluid stream.

    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: Techniques are described for integration of EHD-type air movers with electronic systems, and in particular, for limiting infiltration of ions and/or charged particulates into an internal air plenum. In some designs, it may be desirable to allow or even encourage EHD motivated air flow (whether drawn or forced) through the internal air plenum while providing a barrier to transit of ions and/or charged particulates that may be generated during EHD operation. Such a barrier may employ electrostatic forces to impede transit of ions and/or charged particulate across a vent positioned to allow air flow from or into the internal air plenum. In some cases, an electrostatic barrier may include a fluid permeable mesh or grill that spans a substantial cross-section of the vent.

    摘要: Flow paths, duct work, ventilation boundaries, and/or placement of EHD and mechanical air mover within a electronic device enclosure can all affect the efficacy of a thermal management solution that seeks to provide silent air cooling over a significant thermal operating envelope with staged introduction of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) and mechanical air mover devices. For electronic devices in which it is desirable to employ passive, unforced convective cooling over a portion of the thermal operating envelope, practical designs for consumer electronics form factors may be quite sensitive to flow path, duct work and ventilation boundary design as well as to the placement of EHD and mechanical air mover components relative thereto and to each other. A range of inventive solutions that have been developed to address some or all of these design challenges.

    摘要: Electrostatic precipitation is performed upstream of collector electrode surfaces toward which a downstream EHD fluid mover accelerates fluid flow. In this way, the upstream electrostatic precipitator (ESP) acts as a pre-filter (with low flow-impedance) and can reduce accumulation of otherwise detrimental materials on downstream electrodes and/or arcing. In some cases, pre-filtering by an upstream electrostatic precipitator may also reduce accumulation of otherwise detrimental materials on downstream heat transfer surfaces and/or ozone catalytic or reactive surfaces/materials. In some embodiments, an EHD fluid mover with an ESP pre-filter is used in a thermal management system to dissipate heat generated by a thermal source.

    摘要: An electronic system is configurable to accommodate either of a mechanical air mover and an EHD air mover within an enclosure. At least one of a plurality of electronic components is selectively configurable to alternately accommodate the mechanical air mover or the EHD air mover within the enclosure. The mechanical fan or EHD is positioned to motivate air flow along a air flow path between inlet and outlet ventilation boundaries of the enclosure. A connector for a respective one of the electronic components allows for selective configuration in an alternate orientation of the respective one of the electronic components to accommodate a difference in geometry between the EHD air mover and the mechanical air mover.
