Claim Text:
1. An apparatus to cool a computing device, comprising: a structure and including a first and second heat generating components and a coolant moving device fluidly interposed between the first and second heat generating components, the coolant moving device is configured to generate: a first coolant flow from a front ductwork of the structure into a first plenum in a first direction and a second coolant flow from the first plenum and into a second plenum in a second direction transverse to the first direction whereby coolant thermally interacts with the first heat generating component a third coolant flow from the second plenum into a third plenum in a third direction parallel with the first direction, a fourth coolant flow from the third plenum and into a fourth plenum in a fourth direction transverse to the third direction whereby the coolant thermally interacts with the second heat generating component, and a fifth coolant flow from the fourth plenum out of a rear ductwork of the structure; a first plate interposed between the first plenum and the first heat generating component and a second plate interposed between the third plenum and the second heat generating component, the first and second plates each including: a body extending along the first and third directions, respectively, and aerodynamic elements disposed to extend from the body and into the first and third plenums along directions opposite to the second and fourth directions, respectively, and to interact with the coolant to convert the first and third coolant flows into the second and fourth coolant flows.
