Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly for an electronic image assembly placed within a housing where ambient air surrounds the exterior of the housing and a rear plate may be placed behind a backlight to create a channel. An ambient air fan may be placed between two portions of a heat exchanger to force ambient air through the heat exchanger. The fan may also be positioned to also force ambient air through the channel. A circulating gas fan may also be placed within the housing to force circulating gas through at least one portion of the heat exchanger.
Claims20
A heat exchanger assembly for use with an electronic image assembly within a housing where ambient air surrounds the exterior of the housing, the assembly comprising:
- a first portion of a heat exchanger comprising a plurality of stacked plates where each plate contains a plurality of parallel channels;
- a second portion of a heat exchanger comprising a plurality of stacked plates where each plate contains a plurality of parallel channels;
- and
- a fan positioned between the first and second portions so as to pull ambient air through the first portion and push ambient air through the second portion.
A heat exchanger assembly for use with an electronic image assembly within a housing where ambient air surrounds the exterior of the housing, the assembly comprising:
- a first portion of a heat exchanger comprising X stacked plates where each plate contains a plurality of parallel channels;
- a second portion of a heat exchanger comprising Y stacked plates where each plate contains a plurality of parallel channels;
- and
- a fan positioned between the first and second portions;
- wherein X and Y are not equal.
A heat exchanger assembly for use with an electronic image assembly placed within a housing where ambient air surrounds the exterior of the housing and a rear plate is placed behind a backlight to create a channel, the assembly comprising:
- a first portion of a heat exchanger;
- a second portion of a heat exchanger;
- and
- an ambient air fan positioned between the first and second portions so as to draw ambient air through the first and second portions of the heat exchanger as well as through the channel.
