ABSTRACT:
A ventilation unit for operative arrangement within an electronic apparatus. This unit has: an exterior side having a first exhaust port separated from, and located in stacked relationship with, a second exhaust port; and a first and second powered air mover, each having an intake side oriented at an angle greater than zero degrees from the exterior side. The first powered air mover intake side is in communication with the first exhaust port. One powered air mover can be located closer to the exterior side than the other. Gas, such as air, removed from the electronic apparatus can be drawn in through an intake side of the second powered air mover, then directed through a duct cover before it flows between a covered side of the first powered air mover and a support member side of the unit. The angle of orientation is preferably between twenty and one-hundred degrees. Additional powered air movers can be accommodated, each with a respective exhaust port. Also, a ventilation unit with an exterior side having first and second exhaust ports; the exterior side being adjacent a support member side to which a second powered air mover has been secured. A first powered air mover is included in communication with the first exhaust port. The first powered air mover can have a first covered side opposite an intake side. Gas drawn in through an intake side of the second powered air mover flows between the first covered side and the support member side before exiting the second exhaust port. Additionally, a method of venting thermal energy generated within an electronic apparatus through an exterior side of a ventilation unit operating within the apparatus. This method comprises the steps of drawing air in through a first intake side of a first powered air mover and out a first exhaust port of the exterior side, separately from drawing air in through a second intake side of a second powered air mover and out a second exhaust port of the exterior side located in stacked relationship with the first exhaust port.
