Fluid-flow balancer, electronic system and related methods

摘要

A fluid-flow balancer mimics the air-flow resistance of a component omitted from an electronic system so that omission causes little or no disruption to or alteration of the flow of a cooling fluid. This prevents overheating that such disruption or alteration may otherwise cause. In addition, the fluid-flow balancer may also mimic the EMI suppression characteristics of the omitted component. Thus, a system not fully populated with components can still be adequately cooled and shielded without changing the cooling or shielding systems.
