Abstract
The present invention is a cooling device for a vertical array of electronic devices, which, in broadest terms, comprises an enclosure having a top and a bottom, each having at least one opening, and having first and second sides. The first opposing side has at least one first aperture and at least one first fan disposed in it to urge air toward the outside of the enclosure. The second opposing side has at least one second aperture and at least one second fan disposed in it adapted to urge air toward the inside of the enclosure. The device also has at least one deflector adapted to guide air passing through the opening(s) in the bottom of the enclosure toward the first fan(s), and adapted to guide air passing through the second fan(s) toward the opening(s) in the top of the enclosure.
