SEGMENTED HEAT SINK FOR NATURAL-CONVECTION COOLED SYSTEMS

摘要

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a heat sink system. The heat sink system may include: a first heat sink segment including a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet having an outlet flow path; and a second heat sink segment including a second fluid inlet having an inlet flow path and a second fluid outlet. The second heat sink segment may be arranged in a placement position within the heat sink system so that the second fluid inlet receives fluid from substantially other sources than the first outlet flow path. Various exemplary embodiments relate to a heat sink segment. The heat sink segment may include: a base plate; a plurality of vertical fins; a horizontal wall; a first fluid opening; and a second fluid opening. The first fluid opening may face a different direction than the second fluid opening.
