Patent number: 8737068Abstract: An electronic equipment enclosure includes a frame structure at least partially enclosed by a plurality of panels defining a compartment in which one or more electronic components are mounted and an exhaust air duct that is adapted to segregate hot air being exhausted from the compartment from cool air entering the compartment, thereby improving thermal management of the enclosure. The exhaust duct includes a lower duct section extending upward from the top panel of the compartment and an upper duct section telescoping upward from an upper end of the lower duct section. Each duct section includes four panels connected together by hinged corner fittings such that the section is collapsible. The upper duct section includes an outwardly flared portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Chatsworth Products, Inc.Inventors: William Krietzman, Richard Evans Lewis, II, Dennis W.

Publication number: 20140138069Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat dissipation system. The heat dissipation system includes: a chassis, configured to house single boards of an orthogonal architecture, where the single boards includes a vertically inserted board; a first fan group, installed inside a first air intake pipe in the upper front of the chassis and configured to guide air into the chassis; and an air guide cavity, installed inside the chassis and configured to transfer the air that is guided by the first fan group into the chassis to a component on the vertically inserted board to perform heat dissipation. With the heat dissipation system in embodiments of the present invention, air is separately supplied to a heat dissipation component on a vertically inserted board in a communications system device based on an orthogonal architecture.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mingliang Hao, Yuan Dong, Lei Bai

Publication number: 20140138067Abstract: Each fin of a heat sink includes a main fin connected to a core and extending radially outwards, and a pair of branch fins extending radially outwards from a branch point at a radially outer end of the main fin. Among a plurality of fins, in each of three fins which are adjacent in the circumferential direction, a width of an end portion of the main fin viewed along the center axis expands radially outwards at an angle which is larger than an expanding angle of the pair of branch fins. A difference between a distance from the center axis to the branch point in the center one of the fins and a distance from the center axis to the branch point in each of the other two fins is equal to or larger than a width of a root of the main fin in the center radiating fin.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: NIDEC CORPORATIONInventors: Takamasa YAMASHITA, Nobuya NAKAE

Publication number: 20140138068Abstract: A cooling system having a source of pressurized intake air includes a primary fan and a secondary fan spaced apart from the primary fan. The pressurized intake air flows from either of the primary or secondary fans. Ductwork includes an inlet, at least one generally hollow supply plenum in fluid communication with the inlet, and at least one supply opening in fluid communication with the supply plenum. The pressurized intake air is urged into the inlet, through the supply plenum and out of the supply opening as a first air supply. The supply opening is configured to direct the first air supply toward at least one first heat generator. The secondary fan is configured to operate in a predetermined manner corresponding to a status of the primary fan.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: SOLIDSTATE CONTROLS, LLCInventors: Kurt Nienberg, Philip Irwin

Patent number: 8730671Abstract: A cooling device for rack mount equipment comprises an extensible side duct, open on its inner and rear-facing sides which redirects warm exhaust air exiting vents in the side of a chassis towards the rear of an enclosure holding the chassis. An apparatus incorporating the cooling device may be installed in a rack with the extensible side duct in a retracted position. The extensible side duct may extend under the influence of air pressure, forming a plenum in fluid communication with the interior of a chassis on which it is mounted such that warm air exiting the chassis is collected in the plenum formed by the extensible side duct and directed out towards the rear of the chassis. Use of the apparatus permits conventional front-to-back cooling airflow patterns to be maintained even with chassis having side exhaust vents.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Siebe VanDerVeen, Daniel Kiernan Kilkenny
