  • Patent number: 10775857
    Abstract: A forced convection system includes a chassis defining a chassis housing and including an outer surface opposite the chassis housing. A forced convection device channel is defined by the chassis adjacent the outer surface and opposite the chassis housing. A heat dissipation structure extends from the chassis adjacent the outer surface, opposite the chassis housing, and adjacent the forced convection device channel. A first heat producing device is located in the chassis housing and engages the chassis immediately opposite the heat dissipation structure to allow the chassis and the heat dissipation structure to conduct heat generated by the first heat producing device. A forced convection device is located in the forced convection device channel, and produces a forced convective airflow past the heat dissipation structure to dissipate the heat generated by the first heat producing device and conducted by the chassis and the heat dissipation structure.

  • Patent number: 10545544
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a chassis defining a housing and including a wall having an outer surface. A computing device is located in the housing. A heat transfer device located in the housing engages the computing device and the wall, providing for heat transfer from the computing device, through the heat transfer device, and through the wall to the outer surface to produce supplemental passive cooling of the computing device via the outer surface. A heat dissipation aperture is defined by the chassis, and a heat dissipation device located in the housing adjacent the heat dissipation aperture engages the heat transfer device, which provides for heat transfer from the heat transfer device to the heat dissipation device. A forced convection device located in the housing generates an airflow past the heat dissipation structure and through the heat dissipation aperture to enable primary active cooling of the computing device.
