Efficient cooling duct

A cooling system, 10, comprises an electronics module, 14, and a duct, 12. The electronics module, 14, produces more heat at a first location than at a second location, and is rated to a safe operating temperature. The duct, 12, surrounds the electronics module, 14, and has a shaped baffle, 26, with...

Zusammenfassung:A cooling system, 10, comprises an electronics module, 14, and a duct, 12. The electronics module, 14, produces more heat at a first location than at a second location, and is rated to a safe operating temperature. The duct, 12, surrounds the electronics module, 14, and has a shaped baffle, 26, with a constricted region near the first location and an open region near the second location. The expanded region has greater cross-sectional flow area than the constricted region. Airflow through the duct, 12, cools both the first location and the second location to within an efficiency margin below the safe operating temperature.
