Device for dissipating the power loss heat of electronic-equipment units built into a cabinet-type rack

Abstract

Abstract 1. An arrangement for drawing off the heat generated by electronic rackmount devices (E1 to E6) mounted horizontally one above the other in a cabinet rack and with their front panels fully filling out the front of the cabinet, by means of natural convection with an air exhaust flue (A) leading to the top of the cabinet and with air inlet openings (O) on the side opposite to that on which the flue is located, characterized by the rackmount devices being cooled (E1, E2, E3) having mounted on them in a known manner horizontal finned cooling bodies (K) whose cooling channels (L) lead from the front to the rear of the cabinet, opening into the exhaust flue (A) built in on the rear side and the air inlet openings (O) being provided on the front panels of the rackmount devices being cooled (E1, E2, E3), and leading to the cooling channels (L) of the finned cooling bodies (K).
