Increased cooling electronics case

摘要

The present invention provides an electronics case including a housing having at least one sidewall having an air passage, wherein the air passage includes an intake and an exhaust; a heat producing structure contained by the housing; and at least one heat pipe in conductive communication with the heat producing structure and the sidewalls having the air passage. The air passage within the sidewall produces a chimney effect that vents heated air from the housing. The chimney effect may be produced by a sidewall having a fluted sidewall.
