Abstract

A ductwork assembly can be used with an electronic device wherein the electronic device includes a fan and the ductwork assembly is configured to receive a heat transfer fluid from the fan. A disperser lies within the ductwork assembly and is attached thereto in order to affect at least a portion of a flow of the heat transfer fluid. The ductwork assembly may also include a first channel and the first channel is characterized by a first average fluid velocity that is a highest average fluid velocity of all channels within the ductwork assembly. The ductwork assembly may include a second channel that is characterized by a second average fluid velocity that is a lowest average fluid velocity of all channels within the ductwork assembly. The second averaged fluid velocity may be no less than 90% of the first averaged fluid velocity.
