Being the port

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism for removing heat from a ported acoustic enclosure, related to porting and a heat removal mechanism in an acoustic device.;SOLUTION: A ported electroacoustical device uses the action of the port to provide cooling airflow across a heat producing device. The device includes a loudspeaker enclosure including a first acoustic port, and an acoustic driver, mounted in the acoustic enclosure. The device also includes a heat producing device. The acoustic driver and the acoustic port are constructed and arranged to coact to provide a cooling, substantially unidirectional airflow across the heat producing device, thereby transferring heat from the heat producing device.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
