Filed:

Feb 17, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/372738

Inventors:

Joseph Charles PROULX - New Boston NH, US

Assignee:

Chatsworth Products, Inc. - Westlake Village CA

International Classification:

F24F 13/00
F24H 9/02

US Classification:

454284, 165 47

Abstract:

An air directing device for thermal management in side breathing equipment includes at least three vertical panels disposed in generally parallel relationship and horizontally spaced a fixed distance from one another. Each panel defines a fin arranged orthogonally relative to an airflow path for deflection of cooling air into side breathing equipment. At least one of the panels is an inner panel that is wider than two outer panels. The air directing device further includes at least one connection member connecting the outer panels to one another.

Abstract:

A thermal transient response simulation is performed for a structure having a plurality of thermal model elements. The thermal transient response simulation determines a relation between transient thermal impedance of the structure and time and a relation between maximum temperature change of each of the thermal model elements and time. An onset time at which energy reaches each of the thermal model elements is determined based on the relation between maximum temperature change of each of the thermal model elements and time and a predetermined maximum temperature change threshold. An influence onset resistance value for each of the thermal model elements is determined by looking up a thermal resistance value corresponding to the onset time based on the relation between transient thermal impedance of the structure and time. A structural function is mapped based on the influence onset resistance value for each of the thermal model elements.
