When the working fluid 16 of liquid phase when the second liquid pipe 14B flows in the first evaporation part 11A, working fluid 16 immerses in the capillary wick 33 by capillarity, capillary wick 33 becomes by the wetting state of working fluid 16.The working fluid 16 that immerses the liquid phase in the capillary wick 33 is supplied with the heat heating that comes and is evaporated (gasification) from heaters such as CPU21A.
In addition, the pore of the working fluid 16 that is present in the gas phase in the inboard blank part of capillary wick 33 itself, capillary wick 33 surfaces, capillary wick 33 through capillary wick 33 flows from the blank part of inboard laterally.
Have the first evaporation part 11A of said structure, for example the heater with respect to the size with long 30mm * wide 30mm is CPU, can the size of framework 30 be formed long 50mm * wide 50mm * high 20mm.In addition, can the size of metal derby 31 be formed long 40mm * wide 40mm * high 20mm.In addition, the size of metal tube 32 can form external diameter 14mm, internal diameter 10mm (pipe thickness 2mm).And, for example form the recess 34b of degree of depth 1mm with the 2mm spacing at the inner surface of metal tube 32.And the size of capillary wick 33 can form external diameter 10mm, internal diameter 4mm.
Then, use Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, further specify the first condensation part 12A below.The structure of the second condensation part 12B is identical with the first condensation part 12A, thereby the explanation of the first condensation part 12A also is applicable to the second condensation part 12B.
A plurality of first heat sink 41A as shown in Figure 2, that the first condensation part 12A has the first condenser pipe 40A, is connected with the first condenser pipe 40A.
End in the side of the first condenser pipe 40A is connected with the first steam pipe 13A.End at the opposite side of the first condenser pipe 40A is connected with the first liquid pipe 14A.
The a plurality of first heat sink 41A and the first condenser pipe 40A carry out thermally coupled, and the heat of flowing process fluid 16 is distributed through a plurality of first heat sink 41A in the first condenser pipe 40A.
As shown in Figure 3, from promoting heat radiation, this considers on the one hand to make the working fluid 16 of gas phase become liquid phase mutually, preferably through a plurality of first heat sink 41As air-supplies of main fan 22 grades to the first condensation part 12A.
Then, use Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, further specify the first steam pipe 13A below.The structure of the second steam pipe 13B is identical with the first steam pipe 13A, thereby the explanation of the first steam pipe 13A also is applicable to the second steam pipe 13B.
The end of the side of the first steam pipe 13A is connected with the first evaporation part 11A.In addition, the end of the opposite side of the first steam pipe 13A is connected with the first condensation part 12A.
Not that the working fluid 16 that only limits to gas phase flows in the first steam pipe 13A.According to the duty of ring-like heat pipe 10 with environment is set, working fluid 16 becomes liquid phase between the first evaporation part 11A and the first condensation part 12A sometimes, thereby the working fluid 16 of the gas-liquid mixed that in the first steam pipe 13A, flows sometimes.
The first steam pipe 13A uses the high metal formation of thermal conductivity such as copper.
Then, use Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, further specify the first liquid pipe 14A below.The structure of the second liquid pipe 14B is identical with the first liquid pipe 14A, thereby the explanation of the first liquid pipe 14A also is applicable to the second liquid pipe 14B.
The end of the side of the first liquid pipe 14A is connected with the first condensation part 12A.In addition, the end of the opposite side of the first liquid pipe 14A is connected with the second evaporation part 11B.
In the first liquid pipe 14A, be not limited in the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase that flows.According to the duty of ring-like heat pipe 10 with environment is set, working fluid 16 becomes gas phase between the first condensation part 12A and the second evaporation part 11B sometimes, thereby the working fluid 16 of the gas-liquid mixed that in the first liquid pipe 14A, flows sometimes.
The first liquid pipe 14A uses the high metal formation of thermal conductivity such as copper.
The amount that preferably is enclosed in the working fluid 16 in the ring-like heat pipe 10 is the amount that the working fluid 16 of liquid phase fills up the first evaporation part 11A, the second liquid pipe 14B, the second evaporation part 11B and the first liquid pipe 14A.In addition, more preferably the amount of this working fluid 16 is a bit larger tham volume half the of the stream of ring-like heat pipe 10.If the amount of working fluid 16 is measured greater than this, then flow resistance increases, and resistance to heat increases.On the other hand, if the amount of working fluid 16 is less than this amount, the action of then ring-like heat pipe 10 is unstable.
Then, use the action of the ring-like heat pipe 10 of (A)～(D) explanation of Fig. 6 below.(A)～(D) of Fig. 6 is the figure of the action of the ring-like heat pipe of explanation.
At first, shown in Fig. 6 (A), in ring-like heat pipe 10, the first evaporation part 11A is configured in the upside of the second evaporation part 11B on vertical.Thereby under prestarting state, the working fluid 16 of liquid phase is trapped in the downside of ring-like heat pipe 10, and the inside of the second evaporation part 11B is filled up by the working fluid 16 of liquid phase.In the pore of the inner capillary wick 33 of the second evaporation part 11B, immerse the working fluid 16 that liquid phase is arranged.
The part of the upside of ring-like heat pipe 10 is filled up by the working fluid 16 of gas phase.Thereby the inside of the first evaporation part 11A is filled up by the working fluid 16 of gas phase.That is, the state that the capillary wick 33 in the first evaporation part 11A is in dry is so the first evaporation part 11A is in the state of so-called drying (dry out).
Then, when the ring-like heat pipe 10 of starting, at first, the second evaporation part 11B begins to be heated.For example, in example shown in Figure 3, only CPU21B running, the second evaporation part 11B receives from the heat as the CPU21B of heater.
Be heated since the second evaporation part 11B passed through official hour after, just make the first evaporation part 11A begin to be heated.This official hour, working fluid 16 beginning that is based on liquid phase flow at the first evaporation part 11A, and the needed time sets.
In the second evaporation part 11B that has received from the heat of heater, at first, framework 30 is by the heater heating, and the heat that acts on framework 30 is passed to metal derby 31.The heat that is passed to metal derby 31 is passed to metal tube 32, and the heat that is passed to metal tube 32 is passed to capillary wick 33 via the protuberance 34a of metal tube 32, thereby capillary wick 33 is heated.
When the temperature of the capillary wick 33 that has been heated rises, working fluid 16 boilings of the liquid phase in the pore of capillary wick 33 and gasifying.Along with working fluid 16 becomes gas phase mutually in the pore of capillary wick 33, the pressure in the pore increases, thereby the working fluid 16 of gas phase is forced into the outer surface of capillary wick 33.
Be forced into the working fluid 16 recess 34b through metal tube 32 for example of gas phase of the outer surface of capillary wick 33, to the internal flow of the framework 30 of the second steam pipe 13B side.Then, the working fluid 16 of gas phase flows in the second steam pipe 13B.
In addition, under the operating condition after 10 startings of ring-like heat pipe, there is the working fluid 16 of gas phase sometimes in the inboard of the metal tube 32 of the second evaporation part 11B.The working fluid 16 of this gas phase also increases the outer surface that is forced into capillary wick 33 because of the pressure that the gasification of working fluid 16 produces.
Then, shown in Fig. 6 (B), along with the pressure in the framework 30 of the second evaporation part 11B rises, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the second steam pipe 13B is forced in the second condensation part 12B.The working fluid 16 of liquid phase is forced in the second liquid pipe 14B from the second condensation part 12B again, thereby the liquid level in the second liquid pipe 14B rises.
Then, the working fluid 16 of the gas phase of being pushed by the working fluid 16 of liquid phase flows in the first evaporation part 11A, and then after in the first steam pipe 13A, flowing, flows in the first condensation part 12A.The working fluid 16 that arrives the gas phase of the first condensation part 12A is changed to liquid phase through the heat radiation condensation.The heat that working fluid 16 is had is passed to the first heat sink 41A via the first condenser pipe 40A, and the heat that is passed to the first heat sink 41A is distributed from the first heat sink 41A.
Like this, at the first condensation part 12A, the working fluid 16 of gas phase is cooled, and all or part of is changed to liquid phase.As a result, in the first condensation part 12A and the first steam pipe 13A, be detained the working fluid 16 that liquid phase is arranged, liquid level rises.
Then, shown in Fig. 6 (C), the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the second liquid pipe 14B that is pressed since the second condensation part 12B, one side flows in the first evaporation part 11A.
At this constantly, the first evaporation part 11A begins to receive for the first time heat.For example, as shown in Figure 3, the CPU21A entry into service, the first evaporation part 11A receives from the heat as the CPU21A of heater.
The working fluid 16 of the liquid phase that in the first evaporation part 11A, flows is changed to gas phase, and the working fluid 16 of gas phase flows in the first steam pipe 13A.
Then, shown in Fig. 6 (D), the working fluid 16 of liquid phase is solid with the capillary wick 33 of the first evaporation part 11A almost, and the action of ring-like heat pipe 10 is stable.Under the state that the action of ring-like heat pipe 10 has been stablized, the working fluid 16 that becomes liquid phase becomes the state that almost the first evaporation part 11A, the second evaporation part 11B, the first liquid pipe 14A and the second liquid pipe 14B is filled up.Other parts of ring-like heat pipe 10 are filled up by the working fluid 16 of gas phase.
Like this, stably cool off two heater coolings through ring-like heat pipe 10.
According to above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe 10, ring-like heat pipe is formed by the stream of a loop shape, thereby size is little.In addition, ring-like heat pipe 10 has two evaporation parts, thereby can cool off two heaters.
In addition, according to the starting method of above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe 10, because begin to be heated, so can start ring-like heat pipe 10 reliably in the evaporation part of having been filled up by the working fluid 16 of liquid phase.
For example, in blade server,, just can, the working fluid through liquid phase all be filled up by two evaporation parts ring-like heat pipe when starting as long as can two CPU be configured in the downside (downside of vertical) of substrate with two CPU.But such configuration receives the restriction of the structure of blade server, thereby is difficult to sometimes realize.
And in the blade server with two CPU, under the situation, two CPU are configured in different positions on vertical mostly.In this case, when two CPU were provided with independent ring-like heat pipe respectively, when starting, the CPU that the working fluid of liquid phase could not fill up and be configured in the upside of vertical carried out hot linked evaporation part.In the evaporation part, do not have under the state of working fluid of liquid phase, even want to start ring-like heat pipe, because in the evaporation part be dry status, thus can not make the working fluid of liquid phase be changed to gas phase, thereby ring-like heat pipe is inoperative.
On the other hand, according to above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe 10, because in a loop, have two evaporation parts, so when starting, be easy in the evaporation part that downside disposed of vertical, fill up the working fluid of liquid phase.In addition; Starting method according to above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe; The evaporation part that downside disposed of vertical began to be heated before this, and after the working fluid of liquid phase began to flow through the evaporation part that upside disposed of vertical, the evaporation part that begins this upside is disposed was heated.Thereby, ring-like heat pipe is started reliably.
Above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe 10 stably moves under the equal situation of the received heat of the first evaporation part 11A and the second evaporation part 11B.But; Under the unequal situation of received heat of the first evaporation part 11A and the second evaporation part 11B; In the first evaporation part 11A and the second evaporation part 11B; Working fluid 16 is different from the variable quantity that liquid phase is changed to gas phase, thereby the distribution of the working fluid 16 in the stream produces unevenly, possibly make the circulation of working fluid 16 unstable or stop.
Below, use Fig. 7 that the example of this situation is described.Fig. 7 explains in ring-like heat pipe 10 figure of the unbalanced state of received heat.
In ring-like heat pipe 10 shown in Figure 7, the received heat of the first evaporation part 11A increases, and on the other hand, the received heat of the second evaporation part 11B reduces, and is in the unbalanced state of received heat.For example, if describe with the example of blade server shown in Figure 3, then be equivalent to following situation, that is, the running rate of CPU21A rises and the caloric value increase, and on the other hand, the running rate of CPU21B reduces caloric value and reduces.
In ring-like heat pipe 10, the gasification rate of the working fluid 16 among the big first evaporation part 11A of received heat becomes faster than the gasification rate of the working fluid 16 among the second little evaporation part 11B of received heat.
And the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the second liquid pipe 14B reduces, and on the other hand, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the first liquid pipe 14A increases.The liquid level that the working fluid 16 of liquid phase has been shown in Fig. 7 rises to the state in the first steam pipe 13A.
If this state continues again, then in the first evaporation part 11A, do not have working fluid 16, the first evaporation part 11A of liquid phase to become dry status, thereby working fluid 16 stop circulation.
Such phenomenon especially is easy to be positioned under the bigger situation of the flow resistance of working fluid 16 of situation etc. of the position that is lower than the condensation part in the big situation of the distance between evaporation part and condensation part, evaporation part and causes.
Thereby, hope also can stably move under the unbalanced situation of received heat of ring-like heat pipe in two evaporation parts.
Therefore, even as the ring-like heat pipe that under the unbalanced situation of the received heat of two evaporation parts, also can stably move, the ring-like heat pipe of second to the 4th embodiment is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.Aspect for second to the 4th embodiment does not specify suitably is suitable for the explanation of detailing in the first above-mentioned embodiment.In addition, in Fig. 8～Figure 11, the structure identical with Fig. 2～Fig. 7 marked identical Reference numeral.
Fig. 8 shows the ring-like heat pipe 50 of disclosed second embodiment of this specification.
Ring-like heat pipe 50 has the bypass pipe 15 that connects the first steam pipe 13A and the second steam pipe 13B.Bypass pipe 15 has following effect, that is, in the received heat imbalance of two evaporation parts etc., and the distribution of the working fluid 16 in the stream is produced under the uneven situation, and working fluid 16 is flowed, and makes ring-like heat pipe 50 recover stable operating condition.
In addition, the sectional area of the flow part of the working fluid 16 in the preferred bypass pipe 15 is smaller or equal to the sectional area of the flow part of the working fluid 16 among the first steam pipe 13A and the second steam pipe 13B.The pressure loss of the working fluid 16 in the preferred bypass pipe 15 is greater than the pressure loss in liquid pipe and the steam pipe.
This be for, under the state of ring-like heat pipe 50 operating stablies, improve the flow resistance of 15 pairs of working fluids 16 of bypass pipe, prevent that working fluid 16 is easy to flow to bypass pipe 15.
Then, preference relation between the above-mentioned sectional area of above-mentioned sectional area and the first steam pipe 13A and the second steam pipe 13B of bypass pipe 15 is described.
That is, the ratio of the sectional area of the flow part among the sectional area of the flow part in the preferred bypass pipe 15 and the first steam pipe 13A and the second steam pipe 13B is in 0.1～1 scope, and is especially preferred in 0.4～0.6 scope.
Consider under the situation of skewness of the working fluid 16 in stream, working fluid 16 is flowed fast, and make the action of ring-like heat pipe recover the situation of stable state, the ratio of preferred above-mentioned sectional area is more than 0.1.When the ratio of above-mentioned sectional area less than 0.1 the time, it is big that the pressure loss in the bypass pipe 15 becomes, fluid 16 flowing in bypass pipe 15 can hinder one's work.
In addition, consider when ring-like heat pipe 50 operating stablies that prevent the situation that working fluid 16 preferentially flows to bypass pipe 15, the ratio of preferred above-mentioned sectional area is below 1.In addition, because the ratio of above-mentioned sectional area is below 1, thereby utilize capillary force that the working fluid 16 of liquid phase is flowed in the bypass pipe 15.
The length of bypass pipe 15 is suitably set according to the structure of ring-like heat pipe 50 configurations.
In addition, in order to improve, ring portion, bend etc. can be set on bypass pipe 15 to making the pressure loss of fluid 16.
The structure of other parts of ring-like heat pipe 50 and above-mentioned first embodiment are same.
Below, use the action of the ring-like heat pipe 50 of (A)～(D) explanation of Fig. 9.(A)～(D) of Fig. 9 is the figure of the action of the ring-like heat pipe 50 of explanation.
At first, the ring-like heat pipe 50 of the state shown in Fig. 9 (A) moves under stable status.Ring-like heat pipe 50 reaches the operating stably state from starting process is identical with the first above-mentioned embodiment.
Then, shown in Fig. 9 (B), ring-like heat pipe 50 is changed to following state: the received heat of the first evaporation part 11A increases, and on the other hand, the received heat of the second evaporation part 11B reduces, and received heat is uneven.
In ring-like heat pipe 50, the gasification rate of the working fluid 16 among the big first evaporation part 11A of received heat becomes faster than the gasification rate of the working fluid 16 among the second little evaporation part 11B of received heat.
Then, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the second liquid pipe 14B reduces.Because the amount of the working fluid 16 in the stream is constant, so the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the first liquid pipe 14A increases.Under the state shown in (B) of Fig. 9, the liquid level of the working fluid 16 of liquid phase rises to the inside of the first condensation part 12A.
As a result, the pressure of the gas phase of the working fluid 16 among second liquid pipe 14B part reduces, and on the other hand, the pressure in the first steam pipe 13A increases.Along with the pressure in the second liquid pipe 14B reduces, the second condensation part 12B and the second steam pipe 13B pressure inside also reduce.
So the working fluid 16 of the gas phase in the first steam pipe 13A flows in bypass pipe 15, flows into the second steam pipe 13B.The working fluid 16 that flows into the second steam pipe 13B flows into the second liquid pipe 14B after being changed to liquid phase through the second condensation part 12B.In addition, in the first steam pipe 13A, have sometimes under the situation of working fluid 16 of liquid phase, the working fluid 16 of liquid phase also flows in bypass pipe 15.
As a result, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the second liquid pipe 14B increases, and on the other hand, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the first liquid pipe 14A reduces.Like this, the distribution of the working fluid 16 in the ring-like heat pipe 50 reverts to the state shown in (A) of Fig. 9 automatically.Its result, ring-like heat pipe 50 reverts to stable operating state.
But; Under the big situation of the decrease of the received heat of the recruitment of the received heat of the first evaporation part 11A and the second evaporation part 11B; Further be changed to the serious unbalanced state of received heat, the distribution meeting of the working fluid 16 in the ring-like heat pipe 50 is to the state variation shown in Fig. 9 (C).
Under the state shown in (C) of Fig. 9, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the second liquid pipe 14B further reduces, and on the other hand, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the first liquid pipe 14A further increases.Under the state shown in (C) of Fig. 9, the liquid level of the working fluid 16 of liquid phase rises to the inside of the first steam pipe 13A.
Then; When the liquid level of working fluid 16 reaches the height of junction of bypass pipe 15; Shown in Fig. 9 (D), the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the first steam pipe 13A flows in bypass pipe 15 through pressure differential and capillary force, and flows in the second steam pipe 13B.
The working fluid 16 that flows in the second steam pipe 13B flows in the second condensation part 12B, and flows in the second liquid pipe 14B.
As a result, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the second liquid pipe 14B increases, and on the other hand, the working fluid 16 of the liquid phase in the first liquid pipe 14A reduces.Like this, the distribution of the working fluid 16 in the ring-like heat pipe 50 reverts to the state shown in (A) of Fig. 9 automatically.Thereby ring-like heat pipe 50 reverts to stable operating state.
In addition, in the explanation of the action of above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe 50, increase and situation that the received heat of the second evaporation part 11B reduces is an example with the received heat of the first evaporation part 11A.But; Received heat at the first evaporation part 11A increases, and the unconverted situation of the received heat of the second evaporation part 11B, perhaps the received heat of the first evaporation part 11A is constant; And under the situation that only received heat of the second evaporation part 11B reduces, ring-like heat pipe 50 can likewise revert to stable operating state.
Like this, for ring-like heat pipe 50, produce under the situation about changing relatively at received heat between the first evaporation part 11A and the second evaporation part 11B, the distribution of working fluid 16 in stream can revert to normal state, thereby reverts to stable operating state.
And; For ring-like heat pipe 50; Under the situation that cooling capacity between the first condensation part 12A and the second condensation part 12B has taken place to change relatively, the distribution of working fluid 16 in stream also can revert to normal state, thereby reverts to stable operating state.
According to above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe 50; Under the situation of the skewness of the working fluid 16 in stream; Working fluid 16 flow to the second steam pipe 13B from the first steam pipe 13A, thereby ring-like heat pipe 50 can revert to stable operating state through bypass pipe 15.
Thereby, according to ring-like heat pipe 50, even under the unbalanced situation of the received heat of two evaporation parts, also can stably move.
In addition, ring-like heat pipe 50 be because can eliminate the phenomenon of the skewness of the working fluid 16 that produces in the stream under the situation of external energies such as electrification not, thereby can save the energy.
Then, use Figure 10 that the ring-like heat pipe of the 3rd embodiment is described.Figure 10 is the figure of the ring-like heat pipe 60 of disclosed the 3rd embodiment of this specification of expression.
In ring-like heat pipe 60, the size of the first evaporation part 11A and the second evaporation part 11B is different.For example, can make the length of the second evaporation part 11B is 2 times of the first evaporation part 11A.
Ring-like heat pipe 60 can be used in two different heaters of caloric value are cooled off.In addition, ring-like heat pipe 60 can cool off two different heaters of size.
For example, ring-like heat pipe 60 is used for the CPU and the chip controller (chip controller) that are installed on the server are cooled off.Usually, the size of CPU and caloric value are bigger than chip controller.
About the first evaporation part 11A, for example the heater with respect to the size with long 20mm * wide 20mm is a chip controller, can the size of metal derby 31 be formed long 30mm * wide 30mm * high 20mm.In addition, about the second evaporation part 11B, for example the heater with respect to the size with long 30mm * wide 30mm is CPU, can make the size of metal derby 31 form long 50mm * wide 50mm * high 20mm.
The structure of other parts of ring-like heat pipe 60 and above-mentioned second embodiment are same.
According to above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe 60, can use with the size and the corresponding evaporation part of caloric value of heater and cool off heater efficiently.
Then, use Figure 11 that the ring-like heat pipe of the 4th embodiment is described.Figure 11 is the figure of blade server 80 that expression is assembled with the ring-like heat pipe 70 of disclosed the 4th embodiment of this specification.
Shown in figure 11, in ring-like heat pipe 70, first condensation part and second condensation part are integrally formed.
Specifically, on the second condenser pipe 40B of the first condenser pipe 40A of first condensation part and second condensation part, engage shared a plurality of heat sinks 41 are arranged.
The structure of other parts of ring-like heat pipe 70 and above-mentioned second embodiment are same.
According to above-mentioned ring-like heat pipe 70,, thereby can make size littler because first condensation part and second condensation part are integrally formed.
In the present invention, the ring-like heat pipe and the starting method thereof of each above-mentioned embodiment only otherwise break away from aim of the present invention, can suitably be changed.
For example, in above-mentioned embodiment, the first evaporation part 11A is configured in the upside of the second evaporation part 11B on vertical, but also can the second evaporation part 11B be configured in the upside of the first evaporation part 11A on vertical.
At this moment, when making ring-like heat pipe, the vertical when ring-like heat pipe 10 uses under the unascertainable situation, for example following member of formation can be set.1. on ring-like heat pipe 10, acceleration transducer is set, thereby can judges vertical.2. after the starting just of ring-like heat pipe 10, the temperature of two heaters such as monitoring CPU is confirmed the big heater of temperature rising.And, delay the stipulated time to the temperature big heater supply capability that rises, the starting of two heaters is provided with the time difference.Through such member of formation is set, can make the evaporation part of the downside that is positioned at vertical begin to be heated earlier.
In addition, in each above-mentioned embodiment, the first steam pipe 13A, the second steam pipe 13B, the first liquid pipe 14A and the second liquid pipe 14B are formed by the pipe of equal diameter, but the diameter of each pipe also can be different.
In addition, in each above-mentioned embodiment, use schematically illustrated ring-like heat pipe to be illustrated, the structure of each member of formation, configuration or shape etc. are not limited to illustrated mode.The shape (pipe arrangement layout) of for example, the configuration of evaporation part or condensation part, the steam pipe that connects evaporation part and condensation part and liquid pipe can be set arbitrarily according to the internal structure of the electronic equipment that will assemble ring-like heat pipe etc. etc.In addition, can be according to configuration, the shape of evaporation part, condensation part, steam pipe or liquid pipe, be provided with arbitrarily and employed fin and reached other members such as employing fan.
