DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING AIR COOLING OF ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

摘要

The disclosed concept includes a cooling device and method for enhancing cooling in an electrical or mechanical system. The system includes air therein for cooling the system. The cooling device includes a flexible elongated member having an inner core and an outer cover. The inner core is constructed of a batting material and the outer cover is constructed of a cloth material. The outer cover is at least partially sealed such that the inner core is contained within the outer cover. The flexible elongated member is positioned within a particular portion of the electrical or mechanical system and is utilized to form at least one air seal such that air is diverted away from an unintended path and toward an intended path for use in enhancing the cooling of an area wherein cooling is needed.

主权项

1. A cooling device for enhancing cooling in an electrical or mechanical system, the system comprising air for cooling therein, the cooling device comprises:
a flexible elongated member having an inner core, an outer cover, a first end, an opposite second end and an intermediate portion disposed between the first end and the opposite second end, the outer cover comprises a cloth material and the inner core comprises a batting material, the cloth material and the batting material are non-conductive and thermally stable, the outer cover is at least partially sealed such that the inner core is contained within the outer cover, wherein the flexible elongated member is positioned within the electrical or mechanical system and is structured to form at least one air seal to divert the air away from an unintended path and toward an intended path.
