Abstract: An assembly for extracting heat from a housing for electronic equipment, the housing having an essentially solid top portion and an essentially solid back portion. The assembly includes a first opening in the top portion of the housing, the first opening located at the back of the top portion, proximate the back portion of the housing, a second opening in the back portion of the housing, the second opening located at the top of the back portion, proximate the top portion of the housing, wherein the first opening is contiguous with the second opening, and a chimney external to the housing and coupled to the housing. The chimney encompasses and is in fluid communication with the first and second openings.

Abstract: The invention provides modular air management devices for directing or diverting air flow within an equipment cabinet or enclosure to provide adequate cooling for non-“front to back” breathing electronic devices, and include a scoop assembly, a tray assembly, a vertical mount assembly, and a shroud assembly. The air management devices are designed to direct air flow to and from “side to side” breathing and “side inlet, rear exhaust” electronic equipment. The assemblies may be mounted inside or outside enclosure rails and may be augmented with fan assemblies.

Abstract: An assembly for supplying heated air to a housing with an interior that is adapted to hold air conditioning equipment. The housing has a top portion and a back portion, where the top portion defines a first opening that leads to the interior of the housing, and where the first opening is proximate the back of the top portion of the housing. The back portion of the housing defines a second opening that leads to the housing interior, where the second opening is proximate the top of the back portion. The assembly includes a flue external to the housing and adapted to be coupled to the housing such that the flue encompasses and is in fluid communication with the first and second openings, the flue defining an inlet for conducting heated air into the flue and an outlet for conducting heated air out of the flue and into the housing through the first and second openings. The air cooled by the air conditioning equipment in the housing is used to cool electronic equipment.
