Patent attributes
A heat sink for an electrical device is distinguished by a confining plate extending parallel to and along each lateral side of fins and extending upwardly from a top surface of a base to a bottom surface of a lid to define an outlet-chamber extending from the outer ends of the fins and outside of the fins back toward a vertical nozzle. A cylindrical outlet is disposed on the inlet axis outwardly of each of the confining plates for directing fluid flow on each side of the fins. The outer wall presents a pair of oppositely facing apexes and the outer wall curves outwardly from each apex in opposite directions in a generally heart-shape around and spaced from the fins and back into the outlets to define the outlet-chambers which increase in volume from the ends of the fins back toward the outlets to reduce the fluid pressure. In an alternative embodiment, a horizontal nozzle is disposed between each of the outlets and the vertical nozzle for directing fluid flow horizontally into the fluid flow emitted from the vertical nozzle.
