    摘要: Surfaces for electromagnetic shielding, retaining electrostatic charge and indeed collecting ion current in EHD fluid mover designs may be formed as or on surfaces of other components and/or structures in an electronic device. In this way, dimensions may be reduced and packing densities increased. In some cases, electrostatically operative portions of an EHD fluid mover are formed as or on surfaces of an enclosure, an EMI shield, a circuit board and/or a heat pipe or spreader. Depending on the role of these electrostatically operative portions, dielectric, resistive and/or ozone robust or catalytic coatings or conditioning may be applied.

    摘要: Structures for reducing the effect of charged surfaces near the electrodes on the performance efficiency of an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) device are disclosed. The potential levels on surfaces of an electronic device near the EHD electrodes are varied with respect to a function of the combination of distance from the emitter and the distance from the collector. The potential levels may be constant, may vary in discrete steps, may be continuously variable along the length between the EHD electrodes and beyond the electrodes, and may vary with respect to time.

In some embodiments, a first set of one or more corona discharge electrodes is positioned, relative to a first array of collector electrode surfaces, to when energized, motivate flow in a first direction, while second set of one or more corona discharge electrodes is positioned, relative to a second array of collector electrode surfaces, to when energized, motivate flow in a second direction that opposes the first. In some embodiments, the first and second arrays of collector electrode surfaces are opposing surfaces of individual collector electrodes. In some embodiments, the first and second arrays of collector electrode surfaces are opposing surfaces of respective collector electrodes.

    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.

    摘要: An electrohydrodynamic (EHD) air mover is positionable within the enclosure to, when energized, motivate air flow through the enclosure along a flow path between the inlet and outlet ventilation boundaries. Ductwork within the enclosure has cross-sections substantially matched to a cross-section of the EHD air mover. A fan curve-type, pressure-air flow characteristic measured for the EHD air mover in open air substantially overstates mechanical impedance of the EHD air mover to air flow along the flow path between the inlet and outlet ventilation boundaries in that, when the EHD air mover is operably positioned within the enclosure appurtenant to the ductwork, no more than about 50% of the mechanical impedance of the EHD air mover indicated by the measured fan curve-type, pressure-air flow characteristic actually contributes to total mechanical impedance to air flow through the enclosure along the flow path between the inlet and outlet ventilation boundaries.
