This invention relates generally to component enclosures and, more particularly, to systems and methods for enhancing natural convection cooling of component enclosures.
In at least some known application areas, it is important for components and systems to be light weight and reliable, for example, systems, including the various digital and power electronics systems that provide computational power and electrical power to an aircraft. Passive cooling of components is known to be reliable. However, passive cooling is also the least effective cooling method from a cooling performance point of view, typically resulting in a larger system for a given amount of cooling. Some options that are used to extend the capability of passive cooling include extended surfaces and new material with higher thermal conductivity. Extended surfaces increase the heat transfer area. Extended surfaces include fins, ribs, and other protrusions. Materials with higher thermal conductivity decrease the thermal resistance of the enclosure. Both extended surfaces and new higher thermal conductivity material achieve higher performance without affecting the simplicity and reliability of natural convection. However, they have performance limitations.
When the loss density extends that where passive cooling is practical, then active gas or liquid cooling is employed. Active gas or liquid cooling may result in a lighter, but less reliable system. When improvements made using extended surfaces and advanced materials reach their limit, active cooling, using a fan or other gas cooling device, can be used wherein a cooling gas is forced across and/or against the surface, reducing the fluid film thermal resistance substantially compared to natural convection. In addition to taking cooling air available from the immediate vicinity, the cooling gas in a forced convection approach could be conditioned, making it colder, and thus more effective. A further option is liquid cooling. Liquids, typically are a more effective heat transfer fluid than gas, and thus can remove more heat. Active gas cooling and liquid cooling are less reliable and more complex than a passive cooling system and they both require systems with moving parts which are inherently less reliable than a passive cooling approach.
In one embodiment, a component enclosure includes one or more sidewalls defining a volume, the sidewalls are configured to substantially surround a heat generating component positioned within the volume. The component enclosure further includes a synthetic jet assembly positioned adjacent at least one of the sidewalls. The synthetic jet assembly includes at least one synthetic jet ejector having a jet port. The jet port is aligned at least one of perpendicularly, parallelly, and obliquely with a surface of the at least one sidewall. The synthetic jet assembly is configured to direct a jet of fluid through the port at least one of substantially parallel to the surface, perpendicularly onto the surface, and obliquely toward the surface.
In another embodiment, method of increasing cooling of an enclosure includes positioning a synthetic jet assembly adjacent at least one of a plurality of sidewalls of the enclosure wherein the synthetic jet assembly includes at least one synthetic jet ejector having a jet port. The jet port is aligned at least one of perpendicularly, parallelly, and obliquely with a surface of the at least one sidewall and the synthetic jet assembly is configured to direct a jet of fluid through the jet port at least one of substantially parallel to the surface, perpendicularly onto the surface, and obliquely toward the surface.
In yet another embodiment, an electronic component system includes a component enclosure including a plurality of sidewalls defining a volume, a heat generating component positioned within the volume, and a synthetic jet assembly positioned adjacent at least one of the plurality of sidewalls. The synthetic jet assembly includes at least one synthetic jet ejector having a jet port. The jet port is aligned at least one of perpendicularly, parallelly, and obliquely with a surface of the at least one sidewall. The synthetic jet assembly is configured to direct a jet of fluid through the jet port at least one of substantially parallel to said surface, perpendicularly onto said surface, and obliquely toward said surface.
The following detailed description illustrates embodiments of the invention by way of example and not by way of limitation. It is contemplated that the invention has general application to enhancing cooling and disrupting laminar flow in industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
As used herein, an element or step recited in the singular and proceeded with the word “a” or “an” should be understood as not excluding plural elements or steps, unless such exclusion is explicitly recited. Furthermore, references to “one embodiment” of the present invention are not intended to be interpreted as excluding the existence of additional embodiments that also incorporate the recited features.
In the exemplary embodiment, enclosure 300 includes at least one sidewall 302 that includes an extended surface, such as a rib, a fin, or other protrusion from the surface of sidewall 302 that tends to increase the surface area of sidewall 302 that is in contact with ambient air outside of enclosure 300. When sidewall 302 includes an extended surface, jet port 306 may be aligned parallelly, perpendicularly, or obliquely with a surface of the extended surface.
A small amount of electrical power is drawn by piezoelectric actuator 514 causing piezoelectric actuator 514 to vibrate. During a first phase of operation of synthetic jet ejector 502, shown in FIG. 5A , piezoelectric actuator 514 compresses inwardly towards cavity 518 expelling the fluid out of cavity 518 through jet port 306. During a second phase of operation of synthetic jet ejector 502, shown in FIG. 5B , piezoelectric actuator 514 expands outwardly away from cavity 518 drawing the fluid into cavity 518 through jet port 306. Piezoelectric actuator 514 is designed into synthetic jet ejector 502 such that the geometry permits the vibrating action to draw fluid through jet port 306 and into a cavity 518 and then subsequently expel the fluid out of cavity 518, again through jet port 306. The physics of suction and expulsion through jet port 306 are different. When a fluid is drawn through jet port 306, it draws the fluid from an area all around the orifice. Thus, most of the fluid volume is from fluid in the area immediately around jet port 306. When synthetic jet ejector 502 expels the fluid out of jet port 306, a jet is formed. The jet travels at a high velocity and remains intact for a substantial distance away from jet port 306.
The jet can be directed in a various ways. The jet can be directed perpendicularly to a surface. Such direction tends to provide additional local cooling to the area of the surface towards which, the jet is directed. If the jet is directed parallel to a surface, the jet not only provides direct cooling to the surface by increased fluid velocity along the surface, but it also entrains additional fluid along the periphery of the jet. Thus the amount of fluid that participates in enhancing the fluid along the surface is not only that which is expelled from synthetic jet cavity 518, but additional fluid that is entrained by the jet.
The above-described embodiments of a method and system of applying synthetic jets to the surface cooling of electronic boxes provides a cost-effective and reliable means for enhancing natural circulation cooling of component enclosures. More specifically, the methods and systems described herein facilitate disrupting a laminar flow layer along a surface of the enclosure. In addition, the above-described methods and systems facilitate directly supplying additional cooling media to the enclosure and entraining additional fluid to provide an increased flow. As a result, the methods and systems described herein facilitate enhancing cooling of components without significant added weight and/or reliability costs in a cost-effective and reliable manner.
While the disclosure has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, it will be recognized that the disclosure can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.
