Abstract
Apparatuses and methods include at least one push fan assembly and at least one pull fan assembly and at least one constriction channel or pathway designed to compress air pulled in by the push fan so that as the compressed air exits the at least one constriction channel or pathway, the air undergoes an expansion and cools and the push-pull fan arrangement pulls the cooled air through the housing improving the cooling of computer or electronic components housed in the housing.
Claims15
A cooling apparatus comprising:
- a housing including an interior;
- the housing including:
- one or more components to be cooled;
- a push fan assembly including:
- at least one push fan, at least one intake, and a plurality of constriction/restriction outlet pathways, each of the constriction/restriction outlet pathways terminates in a nozzle;
- and a pull fan assembly including:
- at least one pull fan, and at least one exhaust pathway, wherein the push fan assembly and the pull fan assembly comprise a push/pull fan configuration, and wherein air is compressed as it enters each of the constriction/restriction outlet pathways and expands and cools as it leaves each of the constriction/restriction outlet pathways via its nozzle increasing the cooling efficiency of the push/pull fan configuration;
- wherein each of the constriction/restriction outlet pathways includes a compression chamber and a control valve.
