  • Patent number: 10948193
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an insulated cooking chamber positioned within a cabinet and an air plenum defined between the cabinet and the insulated cooking chamber. A fan assembly includes a first fan and a second fan positioned adjacent each other and having a void region immediately downstream of their outlets. The fan housings may be positioned in direct contact with each other such that the flows of cooling air exiting each fan interact with each other to reduce or eliminate expansion losses. Alternatively, the fan housings may be separated by a small airgap to reduce expansion losses while entraining additional cooling air.
