Patent ID: 7164582

Claim:
A cooling system for dissipating heat from a component, comprising: a cooling device including a core and a plurality of fins connected with the core, the fins are spaced apart to define a first slot therebetween, the core including a boss, a base, and a mounting surface for thermally connecting the core with the component, each fin including a leading edge, a trailing edge with the trailing edges defining a chamber, and a second slot extending through a portion of each fin to define a plurality of vanes in each fin with each vane including a top face and a lip; a fan for generating a selected one of a reverse air flow or a forward air flow, the fan including, a stator, a rotor connected with the stator, a gap between the stator and the rotor, and a plurality of fan blades connected with the rotor; and a fan mount for supporting the stator and positioning the stator over the chamber so that the fan blades are positioned in the chamber, the fan mount including a vane clamp operative to connect with the top face and the lip of a plurality of the vanes, a platform connected with the vane clamp by a plurality of supports, the platform including a stator clamp for connecting the stator with the platform, and a portion of the stator clamp is positioned in the gap between the rotor and the stator.
