  • Publication number: 20190301489
    Abstract: A cooling fan assembly is provided which includes a fan housing and an axial fan. The fan housing has a shroud panel with cutout portions along the airflow path of the axial fan. Fixed members separate the cutout portions. Flap members are attached to the fixed members so that the flap members can pivot between an open position and a closed position. The flap members are pushed by airflow from the axial fan into an open position when the fan is operational. When the fan is non-operational or when air begins to enter the fan in the reverse direction of the axial fan's airflow path, the flap members are configured to move to a closed position. In the closed position, air cannot flow through the reverse direction of the axial fan's airflow path.

  • Publication number: 20190296486
    Abstract: A heat transfer system between a heat source and a heat sink, wherein the heat transfer contact surfaces comprise a metal which forms numerous voids when placed adjacent one another. A thermal pad comprising a polymer filled with ceramic particles is placed between these heat transfer surfaces to intimately contact each of the metal surfaces without void formation, thereby increasing thermal conductivity. The heat source and heat sink are joined by relative sliding motion. This sliding motion might damage the thermal pad. Thus, a hot swap structure is provided for controlling the movement of the thermal pad into contact with the heat source as the sliding motion is completed.
