Abstract
A heat removal system comprising a gas supply, a duct, and a heatsink is presented. The gas supply may be realized as a fan, a blower, or a compressed gas source and is located remotely from the heatsink. The duct provides a passageway for delivering high velocity gas from the gas supply to the first heat sink. The duct includes a plurality of vanes for reducing the turbulence and air boundary separation within the duct. The heatsink is in thermal communication with a heat-producing device such as a microprocessor.
Claims10
A heat removal system comprising:
- a heatsink capable of being thermally coupled to a heat producing device;
- and
- a duct having a first end having a first opening and a second end having a second opening, the first end capable of being coupled to a gas supply remotely located from said heatsink, the second end disposed adjacent said heatsink, at least one vane disposed within said duct, said at least one vane arranged to reduce turbulence and to reduce airflow separation within said duct, and at least one transition vane at said second end of said duct.
