Abstract
A computer component cooling device to cool one or more heat-emitting components of a computer comprising a fan that draws air there through in a flow path; a heat transfer tank including one or more channels therein to circulate a heat transfer fluid there through; a pump that pumps the heat transfer between the heat transfer tank and one or more component heat exchangers to cool the one or more heat-emitting components of the computer; a heat exchanger including a plurality of heating elements extending therefrom and into the flow path; and one or more Peltier devices including one or more cold sides thermally coupled to the heat transfer tank and one or more hot sides thermally coupled to the heat exchanger.
Claims15
A computer component cooling device to cool one or more heat-emitting components of a computer, comprising:
- an exit fan that draws air there through and out of the computer in a flow path;
- a heat transfer tank including one or more channels therein to circulate a heat transfer fluid there through, the heat transfer fluid to impart cooling to the one or more heat-emitting components of the computer;
- a pump that pumps the heat transfer fluid between the heat transfer tank and one or more component heat exchangers to cool the one or more heat-emitting components of the computer;
- a heat exchanger including a plurality of heating elements extending therefrom and into the flow path of the exit fan;
- one or more Peltier devices including one or more cold sides thermally coupled to the heat transfer tank and one or more hot sides thermally coupled to the heat exchanger;
- wherein the heat exchanger includes a base that the plurality of heating elements extend from, and further including heat exchanger copper pipes extending from the base in an opposition direction from the plurality of heating elements.
