A synthetic jet cooling system comprising a plurality of synthetic jet assemblies configured to be positioned adjacent a component that generates excess heat, each of the plurality of synthetic jet assemblies comprising a driver configured to excite a respective one of the plurality of synthetic jet assemblies at a varying frequency.
A method of cooling a component, said method comprising:
- positioning a plurality of synthetic jet assemblies adjacent a component that generates excess heat;
- and
- separately driving each of the plurality of synthetic jet assemblies at a frequency that varies between a first frequency limit and a second frequency limit.
An electronic component system comprising:
- a component enclosure comprising a plurality of sidewalls defining a volume;
- a heat generating component positioned within the volume;
- and
- a synthetic jet cooling system positioned adjacent the component enclosure, the synthetic jet cooling system comprising a plurality of synthetic jet assemblies communicatively coupled to a respective driver configured to excite the synthetic jet assembly at a varying frequency.
