Apparatus for continuous cooling of electrical powered equipment
First Claim
1. A diversity fluidic cooling assembly for convectively removing heat from electrical equipment, comprising:
- a housing;
a first baffle and a second baffle disposed within the housing defining a first control compartment and a second control compartment, the baffles being pivotally movable;
a first fluidic moving device and a second fluidic moving device disposed within each of the respective control compartments;
a first sensor and a second sensor configured to sense changes in operation of the first fluidic moving device and the second fluidic moving device, respectively; and
a controller unit configured for receiving signals generated by the first sensor and the second sensor and for transmitting control signals so as to control operation of the first fluidic moving device and the second fluidic moving device.

Abstract
A fluidic cooling assembly for removing heat from electrical equipment includes operational diversity features in which multiple fluid moving devices are mounted in a single housing. The assembly may include a first fluid baffle and a second fluid baffle disposed within the housing so as to define a first and a second control compartment. A first fan and a second fan may be disposed within the first control compartment and the second control compartment, respectively. A first sensor and a second sensor may be configured to sense changes in operation of the first fluid moving device and the second fluid moving device, respectively; and a controller unit configured for receiving signals generated by the first sensor and the second sensor go as to the transmit control signals to the first fan and the second fan.
