US Patent 7885062 Computer chassis with partitions for improved airflow

The present invention pertains to a computer chassis with improved airflow to reduce the occurrence of trapped air pockets and increase heat transfer from components within the chassis. The computer chassis includes a plurality of chambers, wherein each of the chambers is separated by a partition. The partitions are operable to reduce the occurrence of trapped air pockets and increase heat transfer from components of the chassis by causing air to flow through each of the chambers. The computer chassis further includes at least two air vents, wherein each of the chambers is coupled to at least one of the at least two air vents through which air enters the chamber, and wherein each of the chambers is coupled to at least one of the at least two air vents through which air exits the chamber.
