Abstract: A solar panel cooling system and apparatus. The cooling system includes a shroud that is coupleable to a back side of a solar panel. The shroud encloses a space on the back side of the solar panel and includes a nozzle for spraying cooling fluid onto the back side of the solar panel. The cooling fluid spray is contained within the space and is recirculated through a closed loop system to cool the cooling fluid before again being sprayed by the nozzle. Thermal energy absorbed by the solar panel is transferred to the cooling fluid to cool the solar panel. A backing element can be applied to the solar panel that aids transfer of thermal energy to the cooling fluid, directs the drainage flow of the cooling fluid, or comprises a thermo-electric generator to generate additional electrical energy from the system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cooling and/or heating a computer housing interior with at least one fan and a heat exchanger. The fan can be permanently attached to the computer housing and creates a fluid flow into or out of the housing. The heat exchanger is removably coupled to the fan by one or more clasps. The clasps are fixedly coupled to the fan and include an elastically deformable holding section that engages a recess on the heat exchanger to retain the heat exchanger in a form-fitting manner on the fan.
