  • Patent number: 6781834
    Abstract: A cooling device with an air shower is disclosed. The cooling device includes a heat mass with a plurality of spaced apart fins connected therewith. An air shower including an injector face with a plurality of disrupter orifices is positioned over the fins so that the disrupter orifices direct a second air flow into slots between adjacent fins. A first air flow flowing through the slots is impinged upon and is disrupted by the second air flow resulting in the generation of turbulence in the first air flow. Consequently, a thermal boundary layer in the first air flow is disrupted and a rate,of heat transfer from the fins and the heat mass are increased.
