Double sided display assembly with bi-directional flow through a common, partitioned heat exchanger

A display assembly comprising:

• a first and second side assembly connected to a first and second side of a structural framework, respectively, each of the first and second side assembly comprising a cover, an electronic display positioned rearward of the cover, and a channel for airflow extending along the electronic display;
• a shared heat exchanger positioned rearward of, and spaced apart from, the side assemblies and within the structural framework, said heat exchanger comprising a plurality of layers;
• a first set of septa extending from the first side assembly and/or a first side of the structural framework to a first side of the heat exchanger to form, at least in part, a first airflow channel (“first septa airflow channel”) extending from the channel of the first side assembly to a first subset of the layers of the heat exchanger;
• a second set of septa extending from the second side assembly and/or a second side of the structural framework to a second side of the heat exchanger to form, at least in part, a second airflow channel (“second septa airflow channel”) extending from the channel of the second side assembly to a second subset of the layers of the heat exchanger;
• a first rear channel between the first side assembly and first side of the heat exchanger;
• a second rear channel between the second side assembly and second side of the heat exchanger;
• and
• a closed airflow pathway forming a circuit comprising the channels of the first and second side assemblies, the layers of the heat exchanger, the first and second septa airflow channels, and the first and second rear channels.

A display assembly comprising:

• a first and second side assembly connected to first and second sides of a structural framework, respectively, each of the first and second side assemblies comprising a cover, an electronic display positioned rearward of the cover, and a channel for airflow located rearward of the cover and forward of the electronic display;
• a heat exchanger positioned rearward of, and spaced apart from, the side assemblies and within the structural framework, said heat exchanger comprising a first plurality of layers and a second plurality of layers, the second plurality of layers being fluidly connected to an ambient environment;
• septa comprising a first septa extending from a first interior surface of the structural framework to a first one of the first plurality of layers of the heat exchanger, a second septa spaced apart from the first septa and extending from a rear surface of the first side assembly to a mid-layer of the first plurality of layers of the heat exchanger, a third septa extending from a second interior surface of the structural framework to a final one of the first plurality of layers of the heat exchanger, and a fourth septa spaced apart from the third septa and extending from a rear surface of the second side assembly to a same or different mid-layer of the first plurality of layers of the heat exchanger, the first and second septa forming, at least in part, a first airflow channel between the channel of the first side assembly and a first subset of the first plurality of layers of the heat exchanger and the third and fourth septa forming, at least in part, a second airflow channel between the channel of the second side assembly and a second subset of the first plurality of layers of the heat exchanger;
• a first and second rear channel provided between the first and second side assembly, respectively, the heat exchanger, and the first and third septa, respectively;
• and
• a closed airflow pathway forming a circuit comprising the channels of the first and second side assemblies, the first plurality of layers of the heat exchanger, the first and second airflow channels formed, at least in part, by the septa, and the first and second rear channels.
