Computer Server Heat Regulation Utilizing Integrated Precision Air Flow

Abstract

The present invention includes a cartridge and system utilizing the cartridge that cools a computer. The cartridge first within a server stand and urges forced fluid into the computer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A server rack stand portion comprising:
 a vertical support post having a computer support surface, and having a post height and an interior cavity; wherein said post includes multiple slots accessible from a direction other than said computer support surface;   a master airflow conduit adapted to urge fluid from into said interior cavity from beyond said interior cavity; and   at least one cartridge, releasably affixable to said slots, having cartridge height less than half of said post height and defining a first opening, upon affixation to said slot, in fluid communication with said interior cavity.   
     
     
         2 . The stand portion of  claim 1  further comprising a flexible server conduit adapted to sealingly redirect gas from said first opening toward said computer support surface. 
     
     
         3 . The stand portion of  claim 1  comprising multiple blanks dimensionally equivalent to said cartridges having a sealed lateral surface. 
     
     
         4 . The stand portion of  claim 3  wherein said cartridge and said support post includes a mating slide rail attachment portion. 
     
     
         5 . The stand portion of  claim 1  wherein said cartridge includes a cartridge height approximately equal to a computer to which said server conduit connects said cartridge. 
     
     
         6 . The stand portion of  claim 5  comprising multiple blanks dimensionally equivalent to said cartridges having a sealed lateral surface. 
     
     
         7 . The stand portion of  claim 1  wherein said support post includes electrical contacts and cartridge includes electrical contacts for the transmission of electricity from said support post to said cartridge. 
     
     
         8 . The stand portion of  claim 1  wherein said cartridge includes an impediment adapted to selectively obstruct said first opening. 
     
     
         9 . A server rack stand cooling system comprising:
 a first vertical support post having a first computer support surface, and having a first post height bounded by multiple slots accessible from a direction other than said computer support surface;   at least one primary cartridge, releasably affixable to said slots, adapted to sealingly affix to said post and defining a first opening directed away from said computer support surface;   a primary flexible server conduit adapted to redirect gas from said primary cartridge first opening toward said computer support surface;   a computer positioned adjacent to said computer support surface with a case accepting said elastic server conduit to receive fluid flow from said primary cartridge;   a second vertical support post having a second computer support surface positioned adjacent to said computer, and having a second post internal cavity in fluid communication with a second post second opening positioned in a direction other than said computer support surface;   a secondary flexible conduit adapted to redirect gas from said computer to said second post internal cavity; and   a blower adapted to urge fluid from said first opening to said second post internal cavity.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8  wherein said blower is positioned within said primary cartridge. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said first vertical support post includes a first internal cavity in fluid communication with said first opening of said primary cartridge. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said second vertical support post includes a releasable ancillary cartridge having an ancillary cartridge second opening to which said second elastic conduit affixes. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said blower includes both a primary blower, positioned beyond both said first vertical support post and said second vertical support post, and an ancillary blower positioned within said primary cartridge. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13  wherein said ancillary blower includes a fan. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 9  wherein said primary cartridge includes an impediment adapted to selectively obstruct said primary cartridge first opening. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15  wherein said ancillary cartridge includes an impediment adapted to selectively obstruct said ancillary cartridge first opening. 
     
     
         17 . A server rack stand cooling kit comprising:
 a cartridge with a housing, having a first opening and a second opening bordering an interior cavity;   an flexible server conduit extending from said first opening; and   a server stand having a slot comparable in dimensions to said housing such that releasable joinder of said housing to said server stand slot results in a substantially flush outer surface between said housing and said server stand.   
     
     
         18 . The kit of  claim 17  wherein said cartridge further comprises includes an impediment adapted to selectively obstruct said primary cartridge first opening. 
     
     
         19 . The kit of  claim 17  further comprising blank comparable in dimensions to said cartridge having a sealed lateral surface. 
     
     
         20 . The kit of  claim 17  further wherein said cartridge and said support post includes a mating slide rail attachment portion. 
     
     
         21 . The kit of  claim 20  further comprising a blower within said housing.
