ON-BOARD DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298427 titled 'ON-BOARD DEVICE
The abstract describes an in-vehicle device for railway vehicles that includes coolers and turbulence generating members to dissipate heat generated by an electronic component.
- The housing of the device is attachable to a railway vehicle and accommodates an electronic component that generates heat.
- One or more coolers are attached to the housing and thermally connected to the electronic component to dissipate heat transferred from the component to passing air when the vehicle travels.
- The coolers are located outside the housing to efficiently dissipate heat.
- The turbulence generating members are positioned on the flow path of passing air to cause turbulence and enhance heat dissipation.
- By generating turbulence, the device improves the cooling efficiency of the coolers.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various railway vehicles to efficiently dissipate heat generated by electronic components. - It can also be applied in other types of vehicles where heat dissipation is a concern.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of heat buildup in electronic components in railway vehicles. - Improves cooling efficiency and prolongs the lifespan of electronic equipment.
Benefits: - Enhanced heat dissipation capabilities. - Improved reliability and performance of electronic components. - Cost-effective solution for managing heat in vehicles.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized by manufacturers of railway vehicles to enhance the cooling systems of electronic components. - It can also be marketed to other industries that require efficient heat dissipation solutions.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the device improve the cooling efficiency of electronic components in railway vehicles?
- The device utilizes coolers and turbulence generating members to dissipate heat effectively.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond railway vehicles?
- The technology can be adapted for use in other types of vehicles or equipment where heat dissipation is crucial.
Original Abstract Submitted
an in-vehicle device includes a housing, one or more coolers, and one or more turbulence generating members. the housing is attachable to a railway vehicle and accommodates an electronic component that generates heat. the one or more coolers are attached to and located outside the housing, with the one or more coolers thermally connected to the electronic component, to dissipate heat transferred from the electronic component to passing air occurring when the railway vehicle travels. the one or more turbulence generating members are located on a flow path of the passing air to cause turbulence by partly interrupting a flow of the passing air flowing to the at least one cooler.
