  • Patent number: 10969835
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling arrangement, in particular for a computer system, including at least one fan for generating a cooling air stream. The cooling arrangement further includes at least one first element to be cooled arranged in a first region and at least one second element to be cooled arranged in a second region. Furthermore, the cooling arrangement includes an air guide element formed with an internal isolation channel. The air guide element is formed in such a way as to divide the cooling air stream into a first air stream through the first region and a second air stream through the second region and to at least partially isolate the first air stream from the second air stream by the air guide element. Furthermore, the invention relates to an air guide shroud which is suitable for such a cooling arrangement.

  • Patent number: 10481657
    Abstract: A cooling arrangement for a computer system includes a chassis, a circuit board arranged in the chassis, a fan, and at least one element to be cooled and arranged on the circuit board in an area to be cooled between the fan and a panel of the chassis, wherein an air deflector is arranged between the at least one element to be cooled and the panel of the chassis such that air flowing out of the fan in a direction of the at least one element to be cooled encounters the air deflector and is swirled in the area to be cooled.

  • Patent number: 10146276
    Abstract: An arrangement for a computer system includes a heat-producing expansion card and a cooling device. The cooling device has at least one fan and a hollow body with a first opening and a second opening to cool the expansion card. The hollow body is arranged with the first opening on the expansion card. The at least one fan is arranged on the hollow body in a region of the second opening or is at least partly surrounded by the hollow body by the second opening. The at least one fan produces a flow of air through the hollow body to cool the expansion card.
