Abstract:
A computer casing cooling system for cooling the air within a computer casing, comprising a thermo-electric heat exchanger adapted to be mounted to the computer casing and having cold and hot sides, first and second air channels for receiving ambient air from outside the computer casing, at least one air movement device for drawing ambient air through said first and second air channels, said first air channel being in heat conductive contact with said cold side for cooling incoming ambient air before being directed into the computer casing, said second air channel being in heat conductive contact with said hot side for heating incoming ambient air drawn therethrough, and an evaporator for receiving condensate formed during cooling of the ambient air in said first air channel, said evaporator being connected in fluid flow communication with said second air channel for receiving heated air therefrom to evaporate the condensate and release the same externally of the computer casing.
