Abstract
An enclosure is provided. A housing (120) can have one or more walls (130). At least one of the one or more walls (130) can include a thermally conductive, carbonaceous member (100). The thermally conductive, carbonaceous member (100) can be partially or completely encapsulated within one or more electrically non-conductive materials.
Claims7
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing having one or more walls;
- wherein all or a portion of at least one of the one or more walls comprises one or more thermally conductive, carbonaceous members,
- wherein all or a portion of the one or more thermally conductive carbonaceous members comprises a sheet of aggregated carbon nanotubes.
A method for dispersing heat generated by electrical devices disposed partially or completely within a housing, comprising:
- disposing one or more heat generating electrical components within a housing, the housing comprising:
- one or more walls, wherein at least a portion of the one of the one or more walls comprises a thermally conductive, carbonaceous material;
- wherein the thermally conductive, carbonaceous material is partially or completely encapsulated within one or more non-conductive materials;
- dispersing all or a portion of heat generated by the one or more heat generating electrical components evenly or unevenly across the thermally conductive, carbonaceous material;
- and
- rejecting all or a portion of the heat transmitted to the thermally conductive, carbonaceous material from an exterior face of the housing, wherein a density of the heat rejected is substantially uniform across the thermally conductive, carbonaceous material,
- wherein the thermally conductive, carbonaceous material comprises a sheet of aggregated carbon nanotubes.
