Convectors

A microprocessor cooling system for cooling an array of microprocessors mounted to a CPU board of a computing device, the microprocessor cooling system comprising:

• at least one lateral intake for drawing in a fluid;
• an array of mechanically coupled convectors corresponding to the array of microprocessors, the array of convectors mounted to the CPU board with each convector mounted above a respective microprocessor, each convector comprising:
• a volute-shaped housing having a radially outer casing defining a single exit port for guiding a respective portion of the fluid drawn in by the at least one lateral intake out of the housing;
• a stator having a plurality of plates operatively disposed inside the radially outer casing of the housing and configured to conduct heat;
• and
• a rotor having a shaft and plurality of disks, the shaft extending longitudinally along an axis of rotation from a front end of the housing to a rear end of the housing, each of the plurality of disks disposed inside the radially outer casing, adjacent at least a respective one of the plurality of plates, and rotatable with the shaft about the axis of rotation, wherein the housing completely encapsulates the stator and the rotor,
• wherein the housing, the stator, and the rotor together define a spiral flow path for guiding the respective portion of the fluid through the volute-shaped housing, in both radially outward and longitudinal directions, to the single exit port,
• wherein each exit port of each convector is fluidly coupled to a single exhaust pipe configured to direct the respective portion of fluid flowing out of each respective exit port of each convector to an area away from the array of convectors, the CPU board, and the at least one lateral intake to cool the array of microprocessors and avoid recirculation of the fluid flowing out of the exit ports.
