Each zone comprises at least a single fan coupled to at least a single temperature sensor. The fans and temperature sensors are coupled to a microcontroller that will in turn calculate the necessary speed of the fan to cool the zone to a desired temperature. A modular panel will contain a plurality of these zones which in turn can be coupled to other modular panels for expansion of the cooling system. | 2020-06-11 |
20200183469 | HEAT DISSIPATION MODULE - A heat dissipation module including a chamber, a first cooling fin, and a barrier part is provided. The chamber has an accommodating space, at least one inlet, and at least one outlet. The at least one inlet is disposed in a first side wall of the chamber and communicates with the accommodating space. The at least one outlet is disposed in a second side wall of the chamber away from the at least one inlet and communicates with the accommodating space. The first cooling fin is disposed in the accommodating space. The first cooling fin has a guiding surface which extends obliquely upward. The barrier part is disposed outside the guiding surface of the first cooling fin and has at least one through hole. | 2020-06-11 |
