  • Publication number: 20230189479
    Abstract: A cooling system for an information handling system comprises a fan with a sunflower type heat exchanger having two heat exchanger bodies separated by a gap and rotationally offset an angle sized such that a fin of the first heat exchanger body is aligned relative to a channel between two adjacent fins of the second heat exchanger body. As airflow flows through channels between adjacent fins of the first heat exchanger body, the air temperature increases. Air exiting the first heat exchanger body mixes with a second airflow entering the gap between the two heat exchanger bodies and the combined airflow is cooler and turbulent for additional heat absorbing capability for improved cooling.

  • Publication number: 20210267093
    Abstract: Cooling system components are provided herein to direct airflow within an information handling system. More specifically, various embodiments of fin structures are provided herein to direct airflow in at least two different directions. In one embodiment, the fin structure includes a plurality of fins arranged parallel to one another, where at least one integrated airflow guiding structure is formed within each of the plurality of fins. The plurality of fins function to dissipate thermal energy, which is generated by a heat generating component and conducted by a heat sink to the fin structure via convection. As air flows through the plurality of fins in a primary airflow direction, the at least one integrated airflow guiding structure redirects a portion of the airflow in a direction, which differs from the primary airflow direction.
