ABSTRACT:
A parallel air flow system which automatically maintains proper coolant flow regardless of the number of circuit boards installed in an enclosure. The enclosure is constructed such that air flow path through any one slot does not affect the air flow through any other slot. Proper air flow through the entire system is maintained by an air flow sensor disposed in an air flow path having a known air flow resistance. This sensor controls the speed of an air-mover in order to maintain a constant predetermined air flow through the known resistance, in such a way that a constant static air pressure is maintained at each slot. Baffle modules are preferably inserted into the enclosure to prevent air flow into any empty slots, to reduce the total air volume necessary to achieve the predetermined static pressure, thereby reducing the audible noise generated by the air-mover.
