Title:

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT USING DISTRIBUTED SYNTHETIC JET ACTUATOR

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2010101325

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide a device suitable for thermal management.

One embodiment of the device comprises a synthetic jet actuator (60) and a tube (61). The synthetic jet actuator (60), though not a must, typically comprises a housing (47) defining an internal chamber and having an orifice (46) in a wall (44) of the housing (47). The synthetic jet actuator (60) typically also comprises a flexible diaphragm (42) forming a portion of the housing (47). The tube (61) of this exemplary embodiment typically comprises a proximal end (64) and a distal end (65), the proximal end (64) being positioned adjacent to the synthetic jet actuator (60). In this embodiment, operation of the synthetic jet actuator (60) causes to form a synthetic jet stream (52) at the distal end (65) of the tube (61).
