Anti-recirculation device for fans

Abstract

Apparatuses and systems associated with anti-recirculation devices for fan-implemented coolant systems are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus for server computing may include a housing to be affixed adjacent to a fan associated with providing a flow of air to a compute, storage or network node. The housing may be in line with the flow of air, and may have an arrangement of apertures formed in a side of the housing. The apparatus may further include a gate rotatably coupled to the housing. The gate may include a door to rotate to cover the arrangement of apertures based on a lack of air being blown by the fan to prevent a back flow of air through the fan. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
