Abstract:
There is disclosed an enclosure and cooling system for electronic equipment that provides forced-air cooling of multiple compartmentalized electronics assemblies while simultaneously isolating the electronics assemblies from the ambient environment, keeping the electronics assemblies free from contamination due to harmful dust, dirt, water, corrosives, and other airborne foreign matter. Embodiments include an air-conduction cooled environmentally-sealed electronics enclosure having at least first and second environmentally-sealed electronics compartments, each containing a respective electronic assembly. A common-air cooling channel containing a fin core is disposed between the first and the second electronics compartments, such that ambient air drawn from an air intake, through the common channel, and out an air exhaust removes heat generated by the electronic assemblies within the sealed compartments to an exterior of the enclosure. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
An air-conduction cooled environmentally-sealed electronics enclosure, comprising:\n a first environmentally-sealed electronics compartment having a first interior portion containing a first electronic assembly; a second environmentally-sealed electronics compartment having a second interior portion containing a second electronic assembly; an environmentally-isolated common air-cooling channel disposed between the first and the second environmentally-sealed electronics compartments, the environmentally-isolated common air-cooling channel extending from an air intake to an air exhaust, and the environmentally-isolated common air-cooling channel including a heat exchanger assembly; an air filter disposed at the air intake; and an air mover disposed at the air exhaust, the air mover configured to move ambient air from an ambient environment into the air intake, through the air filter, through the environmentally-isolated common air-cooling channel, and out the air exhaust, wherein the heat exchanger assembly comprises:\n a first thermally-conductive sheet in thermal communication with the first environmentally-sealed electronics compartment and the first electronic assembly; \n a second thermally-conductive sheet in thermal communication with the second environmentally-sealed electronics compartment and the second electronic assembly; \n a fin core disposed between the first and the second thermally-conductive sheets, the fin core comprising a plurality of fins, each in contact with the first and the second thermally-conductive sheets; \n a first thermal conduction path between the first interior portion of the first environmentally-sealed electronics compartment and the environmentally-isolated common air cooling channel; \n a second thermal conduction path between the second interior portion of the second environmentally-sealed electronics compartment and the environmentally-isolated common air cooling channel; and \n a filtered airflow fluidly isolated from the first and the second interior portions of the first and the second electronic compartments, the filtered airflow from the air filter, through the environmentally-isolated common air-cooling channel, and out the air exhaust.
