Abstract
An aluminum extruded fin set includes a substrate and a plurality of dissipation fins mounted upright on it. There are gaps between heat dissipation fins. Each dissipation fin is divided into three child dissipation fins by two slanted cutouts. The child dissipation fin between two slanted cutouts is bent toward the gap between heat dissipation fins. When airflow passes by the gaps, the airflow velocity distribution is modified due to the bent child dissipation fins and the noise spectrum distribution is modified as well. Such a Hay-stack noise spectrum distribution is more comfortable for the listener than a conventional one.
Claims9
An aluminum extruded fin set, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a plurality of aluminum dissipation fins, extending upright from said substrate, wherein a gap exists between each of said aluminum dissipation fins to serve as an airflow channel for cooling air;
- and
- at least one slanted cutout, removed from said aluminum dissipation fins, each of said aluminum dissipation fins being divided into at least two separate parts by said slanted cutout, wherein two adjacent separate parts divided by said slanted cutout are misaligned.
An aluminum extruded fin set, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a plurality of aluminum dissipation fins, extending upright from said substrate, wherein a gap exists between each of said aluminum dissipation fins to serve as an airflow channel for cooling air;
- and
- at least two child aluminum dissipation fins, belonging to each of said aluminum dissipation fins, wherein at least one of said child aluminum dissipation fins is trapezoid-shaped and bent towards the airflow channel.
