COOLING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A method for cooling a heat-generating body (2), particularly for cooling electrical devices, such as power supplies, and the like. The method comprises generating an ion wind by corona discharge, and directing the ion wind toward the heat-generating body (2), to dissipate substantial quantities of heat therefrom by convection. An apparatus (5, 6), comprising an electrode assembly (5c, 6c), for use in the method is also described.
