ACOUSTICAL REDUCTION AIRFLOW DUCTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17816200 titled 'ACOUSTICAL REDUCTION AIRFLOW DUCTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for reducing acoustic energy in a chassis by using an acoustically absorbent material. The material is placed between a set of fans and a set of components in the chassis and is designed to fill the volume in between. The material has a plurality of ducts that prevent turbulent shedding and recirculation, thereby streamlining the airflows. Additionally, the acoustically absorbent material absorbs acoustic energy traveling through the ducts.
- The system uses an acoustically absorbent material to reduce acoustic energy in a chassis.
- The material fills the volume between a set of fans and a set of components in the chassis.
- The material has ducts that prevent turbulent shedding and recirculation.
- The ducts streamline the airflows in the chassis.
- The acoustically absorbent material absorbs acoustic energy traveling through the ducts.
Potential Applications:
- Computer chassis: The system can be used in computer chassis to reduce noise generated by fans and components, providing a quieter computing experience.
- Audio equipment: The system can be applied in audio equipment chassis to minimize acoustic energy and improve sound quality.
- Industrial machinery: The system can be implemented in industrial machinery chassis to reduce noise pollution in manufacturing environments.
Problems Solved:
- Noise reduction: The system addresses the problem of excessive noise generated by fans and components in a chassis, providing a quieter environment.
- Turbulent shedding and recirculation: The ducts in the acoustically absorbent material prevent turbulent shedding and recirculation, improving airflow efficiency.
Benefits:
- Noise reduction: The system effectively reduces acoustic energy, resulting in a quieter environment.
- Improved airflow: The ducts in the material streamline the airflows, enhancing cooling efficiency.
- Enhanced sound quality: In audio equipment applications, the system can improve sound quality by reducing acoustic energy.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems may comprise a system for reducing acoustic energy in a chassis, the system comprising an acoustically absorbent material configured to fill a volume in the chassis between a set of fans and a set of components. A plurality of ducts formed in the acoustically absorbent material prevents turbulent shedding around obstacles and areas of recirculation to streamline the airflows and the acoustically absorbent material absorbs acoustic energy traveling through the ducts.
