Abstract

A side-by-side double row of electronics packages plug into a common backplane. Cooling air flows in an (upside down) omega-shaped path turning into one row of packages, flowing through that row, turning through an air-moving device into a plenum chamber, then turning into the second row of packages, and out of the second row turning again to an outlet.
