Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) includes an ion emitter/collector blower cooling system including an ion emitter and an ion collector, the ion emitter/collector blower system being placed at a location within a chassis of the IHS vertically lower than the hardware processor in the chassis. The IHS includes an ionic driving circuit operatively coupled to the ion emitter via a high voltage to ionize gases within the ion emitter/collector blower housing and create charged ions that generate an airflow along a voltage field to and through an ion collector. The IHS includes an air inlet vent located below the ion emitter/collector and formed in a back surface of the chassis of the IHS and an air exhaust vent located at an upper exhaust vent location above the ion collector within the chassis of the IHS so that the airflow is brought into the chassis of the IHS via the ion emitter/collector cooling system and out of the air exhaust vent where a location of the air inlet vent relative to the upper exhaust vent location of the air exhaust vent in the chassis of the IHS in a vertical orientation provides convection-enhanced airflow.
