  • Patent number: 10433456
    Abstract: An electrical system includes modules and a frame structure for mechanically supporting the modules successively in an arrival direction of cooling air. Each module includes a cooling element in heat conductive relation with one or more electrical components. The frame structure mechanically supports the modules so that the cooling elements are substantially in the same attitude and successively in the arrival direction of the cooling air. The cooling elements are shaped so that, when the modules are mechanically supported by the frame structure, the cooling elements conduct cooling air in a direction deviating from the arrival direction of the cooling air. Furthermore, at least a part of a flank of the heat transfer portion of each cooling element is oblique with respect to the arrival direction of the cooling air. Thus, each of the cooling elements receives a fresh portion of the cooling air.

  • Patent number: 10303227
    Abstract: Thermal energy exposed at the outer surface of an information handling system housing is managed by spreading the thermal energy across the housing X and Y axes while restricting heat transfer from the housing at the Z axis. For example, a graphene outer surface couples to an aerogel substrate strengthened by a carbon fiber laminate. The graphene spreads thermal energy that escapes through the housing across the housing outer surface to limit the impact of thermal energy at any particular location, such as proximate to the location of a processor.
