Cooling System For A Computer Blade

A cooling system for a computer blade, comprising:

• a main printed circuit (PC) board with at least one component mounted on a top side of the main PC board, the main PC board being generally rectangular in shape and having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
• a heat transfer plate located at the first end of the main PC board wherein the heat transfer plate is generally rectangular in shape and is parallel with the first end of the main PC board and perpendicular to the top side of the main PC board;
• an airflow divider mounted on, and perpendicular with, the top side of the main PC board, wherein the airflow divider runs in an axis generally parallel with the first side of the main PC board;
• a lid coupled to the main PC board thereby enclosing the main PC board, the heat transfer plate and the airflow divider and thereby creating a first airflow channel running along the first side of the main PC board and a second airflow channel running along the second side of the main PC board;
• a fan located on top side of the main PC board in the first airflow channel wherein the fan is configured to re-circulate air from the second airflow channel through the first airflow channel, past the heat transfer plate, and then back into the second airflow channel.
