Green design on thermal management of notebook computer product

Abstract

Natural cooling, where no auxiliary equipment is required, is the way toward the green design of the product. Generally, heat transfer by natural convection is more efficient if an unobstructed flow path is made available. Experiments show that the heat transfer of a vertical oriented configuration is much better than of a horizontal configuration. Therefore, vertical configuration is a good candidate to accomplish the green design. Three novel vertical oriented designs are proposed, the assembly and ergonomic concept are also included in this design. With the special installation mechanism, it is easy to set up the system. This configuration successfully shows a environmental attributes design for product use.
