Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to air conduction, and particularly to an air conducting device in a computer.
- Air conducting devices are often used in computers coupled with fans for dissipating heat from electronic components.
- a computer often includes a plurality of different heat generating components, such as CPUs, memories, and others.
- An airduct covers the heat generating components, and a fan is installed on or near the inlet to generate airflow to dissipate heat from the heat generating components within the airduct.
- different heat generating components may work at different temperatures, such that one with higher temperature may elevate the overall temperature in the airduct and affect the other components therein. In this way, the temperature of the affected heat generating components may exceed the temperature limit, and may be thereby damaged.
- generated airflow exceeds the cooling requirements, translating to wasted energy and hardware.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded, isometric view of an air conducting device, the air conducting device including a first chamber and a second chamber.
- FIG. 2 is an assembled view of FIG. 1 .
- an air conducting device 50 is configured to assist the removal of heat from a plurality of first heat generating components, such as memories 20 and a plurality of second heat generating components, such as central processing units (CPUs) 14 by directing airflow flowing therethrough.
- the memories 20 are installed in a plurality of parallel slots 12 of a motherboard 10 .
- the memories 20 are optionally installed in the slots 12 .
- the heat generating components 14 are installed on the motherboard 10 adjacent to the slots 12 .
- the CPUs 14 may create more heat than the memories 20 .
- the air conducting device 50 includes a body, baffle 55 , and a plurality of tongues 572 .
- the body includes a top wall 51 and two parallel sidewalls 53 extending downwardly therefrom.
- the top wall 51 is parallel to the motherboard 10 .
- An airflow passageway is defined by the air conducting device 50 for directing the airflow therethrough.
- the baffle 55 is parallel to the sidewalls 53 and extends downward from the top wall 51 to divide the airflow passageway into a first passageway 57 and a second passageway 58 .
- the first passageway 57 is capable of receiving the memories 20 therein
- the second passageway 58 is capable of receiving the CPUs 14 therein.
