Abstract
A system for cooling a two-dimensional array of computing devices is disclosed. A fan is configured to move air through the array of computing devices, which may be fan-less. The fan's width and height may correspond to the two-dimensional array's width and height. The two-dimensional array may be radially configured, and a shroud may be connected between the fan and the array of computing devices. The shroud may have profiles matching the fan and the array of computing devices.
Claims20
A system for cooling a plurality of computing devices, the system comprising:
- a shelf configured to support the plurality of computing devices in a two-dimensional array;
- and
- a first fan configured to move air through the plurality of computing devices, wherein the first fan's width and height corresponds to the two-dimensional array's width and height.
A shroud for cooling a plurality of computing devices, the shroud comprising:
- a first planar circular opening that seals to a cooling fan;
- and
- a second planar convex polygon opening that seals to an outer edge of a two-dimensional array of fan-less computing devices.
A system for cooling a plurality of computing devices, the system comprising:
- a rack supporting a plurality of two-dimensional arrays of computing devices;
- and
- a plurality of fans, wherein each fan is attached to the rack and is connected to move air through a selected one of the two-dimensional arrays of computing devices, wherein each fan's diameter corresponds to the width and height of the selected two-dimensional array of computing devices.
