Abstract
A system comprises an electronic device having a component to be cooled. The electronic device has at least one heat pipe coupled to the component. A heat exchanger system is coupled to the at least one heat pipe. Also, the electronic device comprises a fan having a plurality of exhaust outlets oriented to exhaust air toward the heat exchanger system.
Claims21
A system, comprising:
- an electronic device having a component, at least one heat pipe associated with the component, a plurality of heat exchangers coupled to the at least one heat pipe, and a fan having a plurality of exhaust outlets oriented to exhaust air toward the plurality of heat exchangers.
A cooling system, comprising:
- a fan having a plurality of exhaust ports;
- at least one heat exchanger disposed along the plurality of exhaust ports;
- and
- a heat transfer member coupled to the at least one heat exchanger along the plurality of exhaust ports.
