Cooling System

Abstract

A cooling system for an apparatus having heat generating components. The cooling system includes a housing and multiple sealed chambers. Fluid intake and exhaust ports are formed in the housing. The sealed chambers are for containing the heat generating components and are arranged within the housing to form a cooling fluid flow channel separating the sealed chambers from one another. The cooling fluid flow channel is in fluid communication with the fluid intake and exhaust ports.

1 . A cooling system for an apparatus having heat generating components, the cooling system comprising:
 a housing having fluid intake and exhaust ports formed therein and   a plurality of sealed chambers for containing the heat generating components, the plurality of sealed chambers arranged within the housing to form a cooling fluid flow channel separating the plurality of sealed chambers from one another, the cooling fluid flow channel in fluid communication with the fluid intake and exhaust ports.   
     
     
         2 . The cooling system of  claim 1  further including fluid conducting means within the cooling fluid flow channel for conducting fluid through the cooling fluid flow channel. 
     
     
         3 . The cooling system of  claim 2  wherein the fluid conducting means includes a fan. 
     
     
         4 . The cooling system of  claim 2  wherein the fluid conducting means includes a pump. 
     
     
         5 . The cooling system of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the sealed chambers further includes an internal wall and fluid conducting means for conducting fluid within the sealed chamber against the internal wall. 
     
     
         6 . The cooling system of  claim 5  wherein the fluid conducting means includes a fan. 
     
     
         7 . The cooling system of  claim 5  wherein the fluid conducting means includes a pump. 
     
     
         8 . The cooling system of  claim 1  further including a heat sink mounted, within the cooling fluid flow channel, to at least one of the sealed chambers. 
     
     
         9 . A method for cooling an apparatus having heat generating components within a housing, the method comprising:
 forming fluid intake and exhaust ports in the housing;   sealing the heat generating components in a plurality of chambers;   arranging the sealed chambers within the housing to form a coding fluid flow channel separating the sealed chambers, the coding fluid flow channels in fluid communication with the fluid intake and exhaust ports; and   conducting fluid through the cooling fluid flow channel.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 10  further including conducting fluid within at least one of the sealed chambers against an internal wall of the sealed chamber. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  further includes providing a heat sink within the cooling fluid flow channel, mounted to at least one of the sealed chambers.
