Fan slide-in unit
First Claim
1. A fan slide-in unit comprising:
- a casing having an upper cover surface and a lower cover surface, at least two ventilation openings defined by said upper cover surface being aligned with at least two ventilation openings defined by said lower cover surface and between each of said at least two ventilation openings of said upper cover surface and said lower cover surface is an installation location for a fan, a fan extending between each of at least one of said at least two ventilation openings of said upper cover surface and said lower cover surface, and insert plates being fixable in substantially air-impermeable manner in any remaining ventilation openings to seal off said remaining ventilation openings.

Abstract
A fan slide-in unit, module or chassis of the type used for cooling electronic assemblies. The fan slide-in unit constructed in modular manner having a plurality of fan installation locations arranged in rows and which comprises two half-shells made from substantially acoustically inert material. The number and location of the individual fans can comply with the needs of the particular individual, the installation locations left free being made air-impermeable. The ready electrical connection possibility provided for each installation location permits an easy changeover. In addition, the mounting of the individual fans in the half-shells takes place in solid-borne sound-decoupled manner, so that essentially there is only the noise caused by the air flow. The fans used are controlled in unitary manner by a manually adjustable control block, which can be guided in a temperature or parameter-dependent manner.
