Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 10/581,047 filed Jun. 18, 2004 to the extent permitted by law.
- The present disclosure relates to a heat dissipating device and a method of dissipating heat away from a heat emitting component. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a heat dissipater which dissipates heat from an appliance positioned within a vehicle.
- In the recreational vehicle and the boating industry, manufacturers or retailers install appliances such as refrigerators into the vehicle or a boat to provide the user more comfort in using the vehicle/boat. In locating a refrigerator within an enclosure of the vehicle, however, access to the back of the refrigerator must be considered since the back of the refrigerator houses components such as compressors and heat fins. As such, the position of the refrigerator must present accessibility from the outside through the side wall of the vehicle for maintenance purposes. Additionally, the location of the refrigerator must be considered for heat transfer purposes since components such as the compressor and heat fins emit heat during use. This emitted heat must be dissipated out of the vehicle enclosure in order for the appliance unit to work properly.
- The present disclosure relates to a heat dissipater and a method of dissipating heat away from a heat generating device. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a heat dissipater which removes heat from an appliance positioned within a vehicle. In an embodiment, the heat dissipating device comprises a housing positioned within the enclosure. The housing has an intake, an exhaust and a body positioned between the intake and the exhaust, wherein the body is positioned to surround at least one component which is positioned within the enclosure and which is adapted to emit heat within the enclosure. The intake is adapted to direct an amount of air medium, which is positioned within the enclosure, into the body. The body is adapted to direct the amount of air medium from the intake and over the at least one component which emits heat within the body, wherein the emitted heat from the at least one component causes a temperature differential within the body such that the amount of air medium flows through the body. The exhaust is adapted to direct the amount of air medium, which is flowing through the body as a result of the temperature differential, to a position beyond the enclosure.
- In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method of dissipating heat emitted by a component. The method comprises removably positioning a housing within the vehicle enclosure such that the housing surrounds the at least one component. Next, a temperature differential is created within the body by emitting heat from the at least one component in order to heat an amount of air medium which is positioned within the housing wherein the heated air medium flows through the housing as a result of the temperature differential. Then, the vehicle enclosure is cooled by directing the amount of air medium out of the vehicle enclosure.

In an embodiment, theintake 50 may be coupled to thefloor 28 of theenclosure 12 as shown inFIG. 7C . - Turning to
FIG. 8 and referring toFIGS. 1-7 , during use, theheat emitting appliance 10 is positioned within the vehicle 62. When positioned, the front, such as a door, of theheat emitting appliance 10 faces thevehicle interior 64 while the at least onecomponent 16 faces thevehicle enclosure 12. Theheat dissipating device 36 is removably positioned within thevehicle enclosure 12 such that thehousing 38 is attached to theheat emitting appliance 10 to surround the at least onecomponent 16. Theheat dissipating device 36 may be removably attached to theappliance 10 to provide convenient access to thecomponents 16. - When activated, the components 16 (
FIG. 1 ) of theappliance 10 emit heat. The emitted heat creates a temperature differential within thebody 40 to heat the amount ofair medium 14 positioned within thehousing 38, wherein theheated air 14 flows through thehousing 38 as a result of the temperature differential. Theheat dissipating device 36 is adapted to channel the heat upward and away from theappliance 10 via convection since heat will travel from a hotter medium to a cooler medium. As theheated air 14 expands and rises upward through thehousing 38, convection of theheated air 14 draws in coolerfresh air 14 from theintake 50 while emitting theheated air 14 out of theexhaust 52. Since theintake 50 is positioned above thefloor 28, theair 14 within theenclosure 12 easily transfers into thehousing 38. As such, the heat dissipating device directs theair 14 within theenclosure 12 across thecomponents 16. Theheat dissipating device 36 then channels theheated air 14 away from thecomponents 16 toward thevent 32 while drawing in cool air across thecomponents 16, thereby cooling thevehicle enclosure 12 by directing theheated air 14 out of thevehicle enclosure 12. Thedivider 54 of theheat dissipating device 36 prevents theheated air 14 which has exited theexhaust 52 of thehousing 38 from re-entering theintake 50 of thehousing 38. - In an embodiment, the at least one
air handler 56, which may be positioned adjacent to theintake 50, may activate in order to provide forced flow to assist in dissipating heat away from thecomponents 16 while drawing incooler air 14 through theintake 50. The at least oneair handler 56, which may be coupled to thehousing 38, may activate to draw theheated air 14 through thehousing 38. The at least oneair handler 56 may be coupled to thehousing 38 near theexhaust 52 to draw theair 14 across thecomponents 16. As such, the at least oneair handler 56 transfers theair 14 through thehousing 38 and across thecomponents 16 to transfer the heat emitted by thecomponents 16 toward thevent 32. Additionally, during use, thedivider 54 separates theenclosure 12 to prohibitheated air 14 emitted from theexhaust 52 to be re-circulated into theintake 50 via either convection or forced flow from the at least oneair handler 56. - In other embodiments, the at least one
channel 57 may connect to theexhaust 52 to connect theexhaust 52 to theenclosure 12 such that theexhaust 52 communicates with an environment beyond theenclosure 12. The at least onechannel 57 may connect to theintake 50 to connect theintake 50 to theenclosure 12 such that theintake 50 communicates with an environment beyond theenclosure 12. In an embodiment, the at least oneair handler 56 may be positioned within the at least onechannel 57 to assist in the forced flow to dissipate theheated air 14 out of thedissipater 32. In another embodiment, the at least oneair handler 56 may also be positioned within thevent 32 and in communication with the at least onechannel 57 in order to dissipate theheated air 14 out of theenclosure 12. - While the present disclosure describes refrigerators, it is understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the appliance described in the disclosure. Additionally, while the concepts of the present disclosure have been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, such an illustration and description is to be considered as exemplary and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only the illustrative embodiments have been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the disclosure are desired to be protected by the following claims.
