Patent ID: 6892800

Claim:
In a rotating fan operable by rotation around a shaft of an impeller between essentially parallel top and bottom cover elements to force an ambient out of an egress aperture, the improvement comprising: at least one of said cover elements having an ambient entry aperture through said element positioned in the vicinity of said impeller, and, a circular housing member surrounding the periphery of said impeller and made up of a plurality of fins serving as ambient egress, at least one heat pipe thermal transfer member extending from a heat source and in a direction parallel to said housing and through and in contact with each of said fins, and wherein each said heat pipe thermal transfer member has one end thereof at a thermal conduction block at said heat source, said shaft of said impeller extending between and through said cover elements comprising superimposed and separated top and bottom cover members, said shaft having blades extending radially a distance from said shaft and, said blades along said shaft are the distance between said superimposed and separated top and bottom cover members, inlet openings through said superimposed and separated top and bottom cover members in the portion of said superimposed and separated top and bottom cover members adjacent to said shaft and said circular housing member comprising a peripheral housing of fins having a dimension at least as long as the distance of said separation between said top and bottom members surrounding said impeller.
