ABSTRACT:
Electronic components in a cabinet are cooled by enclosing and isolating predetermined heat generating electronic components which may include those with heat sinks from other electronic components in the cabinet and providing a dedicated air flow pathway to conduct a stream of air from the cabinet exterior, across the isolated electronic components, and exhaust it to the cabinet exterior. The dedicated air flow is isolated from the ambient air in the cabinet such that the isolated heat generating components are cooled independently of the non-isolated components and the heat generated by the isolated components and non-isolated components is not mixed within the cabinet to maximize cooling of all components within the cabinet. Cooling efficiency is increased by creating turbulence in the dedicated stream of air which passes across the isolated heat generating component or the fins of the heat sink before being exhausted and by providing specially designed inlet and outlet conduits to improve the flow rate and to reduce the pressure drop across the heat generating electronic component.
