Cooling Device Design to Optimize Airflow and Performance
Here’s PatSnap Eureka !
Summary
Problems
Conventional cooling devices for heating element storing boxes experience a decrease in air flow rate and cooling capacity due to the installation of control devices, which can lead to inefficient operation and reduced performance.
Innovation solutions
The cooling device design includes a box body with detachable panels, indoor and outdoor air channels, blowers, a heat exchanger, and a control device accommodating unit, where the blowers' axial direction and air suction direction are parallel, and the heat exchanger is positioned downstream of both blowers, with the control device unit adjacent to the indoor air flow-in port and impellers opposite to each other, creating a configuration that minimizes the drop in air flow rate and cooling capacity.
TRIZ Analysis
Specific contradictions:
General conflict description:
Principle concept:
If the control device is installed in the section where the fan is disposed, then the control function is integrated, but the air flow rate is lowered and cooling capacity is reduced
Why choose this principle:
The cooling device is divided into separate functional sections: the fan section for air circulation and the control device section for operational control. This segmentation allows each component to perform its function optimally without interfering with the other, specifically preventing the control device from obstructing airflow paths.
Principle concept:
If the control device is installed in the section where the fan is disposed, then the control function is integrated, but the air flow rate is lowered and cooling capacity is reduced
Why choose this principle:
A dedicated control device accommodating section acts as an intermediary space that houses the control device without allowing it to interfere with the fan's airflow. This intermediary section serves as a buffer zone that isolates the control device from the airflow path while maintaining system integration.

Abstract
A control device accommodating unit (15) is provided in a section (50) accommodating an indoor air blower (7) adjacently to an indoor air flow-in port (16), and an impeller (7c) of the indoor air blower (7) is sequentially opposite to the indoor air flow-in port (16) and the control device accommodating unit (15) by rotation of the impeller (7c), and a space (51) is formed between the indoor air flow-in port (16) and the control device accommodating unit (15). In this configuration, it is possible to obtain a cooling device decreased in drop of air flow rate and drop of cooling performance due to mounting a control device (14).
