Shared isolated gas cooling system for oppositely facing electronic displays
First Claim
1. An isolated gas cooling system for a first and second electronic display, the system comprising:
- a first gas compartment placed at the front of the first display;
a second gas compartment placed at the front of the second display;
a third gas compartment in gaseous communication with the first and second gas compartments, said compartment having internal and external surfaces;
a first fan within the third gas compartment which propels gas around the first, second, and third gas compartments; and
a second fan which forces air over the external surfaces of the third gas compartment.

Abstract
A system and method for cooling back to back electronic displays. Transparent first and second gas chambers are co-existive with the front display surfaces of the first and second electronic displays. A closed loop of isolated gas enters the first and second gas chambers and contacts the front surfaces of the electronic displays, where it may extract heat from the front display surfaces. The isolated gas is then directed into a cooling chamber where it is cooled and re-introduced into the first and second gas chambers. Fans may be used to propel the isolated gas through the cooling chamber and the first and second gas chambers. The circulating gas removes heat directly from the electronic display surfaces. The isolated gas is transparent or at least semi-transparent to ensure that the image quality of the electronic displays is minimally impacted.

9. A thermally regulated dual-display system comprising:
-
a first electronic display having a first display surface; a second electronic display having a second display surface where the first and second displays are back to back; a cooling plenum between the first and second displays; a first gas chamber placed in front of and co-existive with the first display surface and in gaseous communication with the cooling plenum; a second gas chamber placed in front of and co-existive with the second display surface and in gaseous communication with the cooling plenum; a fan within the cooling plenum which propels isolated gas through the cooling plenum and the first and second gas chambers; and a means for cooling the isolated gas. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for cooling a first electronic display having a first display surface and a second electronic display having a second display surface where the first and second displays are back to back, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing an isolated gas system comprising a first gas chamber which is in contact with the first electronic display surface and a second gas chamber which is in contact with the second electronic display surface and a cooling plenum which is in gaseous communication with both the first and second gas chambers; forcing isolated gas into the first and second gas chambers; transferring heat from the first and second electronic display surfaces to the isolated gas; directing the isolated gas into the cooling plenum; cooling the isolated gas in the cooling plenum; and reintroducing the cooled isolated gas into the first and second gas chambers. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
