Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly for cooling the interior of a closed cabinet containing electronic components or the like includes a finned heat pipe core. The core has a plurality of spaced substantially parallel heat bodies as well as a plurality of spaced fins which are provided with colinear apertures through which each of the plurality of heat pipe bodies can extend. The finned heat pipe core is secured to an associated closed cabinet. A pair of fans are provided, one being operatively connected with each end of the finned heat pipe core. One of the fans and an associated first end of the heat pipe core is in contact only with the air inside the associated closed cabinet. The other of the fans and an associated second end of the finned heat pipe core is in contact only with the ambient air outside the associated cabinet. The fins have a spacing and a thickness which is sized to fit the performance curve of the fans.
