Abstract
A cooling system for cooling electronic components mounted in a cabinet of a computer includes an air circulation device mounted in the cabinet. The air circulation device draws cool, outside air through an air inlet in the cabinet and circulates the cool air over the electronic components. After passing over the electronic components, the air is drawn into an inlet of the fan and exhausted into a diffuser. The diffuser interconnects an outlet in the fan to an air outlet in the cabinet. The diffuser is of increasing cross sectional area and converts dynamic pressure of the air leaving the fan to static pressure. A plurality of air direction vanes are mounted in the air outlet in the cabinet which impart a velocity vector to the hot exhausting air in a direction away from the air inlet in the cabinet.
