Abstract
A system for improved air cooling of circuit boards such as cryptographic hash boards is disclosed. The system may comprise a tubular case and a number of circuit board support brackets affixed to the inside of the case in a radial pattern. Fans may be coupled to one or both ends of the tubular case to draw air through the tubular case. The tubular case may be cylindrical or a regular polygonal prism and may have a central channel for cables and controller cards.
Claims20
A system for cooling a plurality of circuit boards, the system comprising:
- a tubular case;
- a plurality of circuit board support brackets affixed to the inside of the tubular case in a first radial pattern;
- and
- a first fan coupled to a first end of the tubular case, wherein the fan is configured to move air through the inside of the tubular case.
A system for cooling a plurality of circuit boards, the system comprising:
- a cylindrical case;
- a plurality of circuit boards supported within the cylindrical case;
- and
- a fan coupled to a first end of the cylindrical case, wherein the fan is configured to move air through the cylindrical case.
A system for cooling a plurality of circuit boards, the system comprising:
- a regular polygonal prism case;
- a plurality of circuit boards supported within the regular polygonal prism case;
- and
- a first fan coupled to a first end of the regular polygonal prism case by a first hinge, wherein the first fan is configured to move air through the regular polygonal prism case to cool the plurality of circuit boards;
- a second fan coupled to a second end of the regular polygonal prism case by a second hinge, wherein the second fan is configured to move air through the regular polygonal prism case to cool the plurality of circuit boards;
- and
- an air barrier connected between the second fan and the cylindrical case, wherein the air barrier has an opening to permit airflow through the regular polygonal prism case.
