Abstract
Aspects of the invention relate to a system for reducing stagnation between substantially adjacent components while providing enhanced heat distribution properties in the corners and edges of the components. Each component is generally hollow and has two walls disposed substantially orthogonal to each other. Each of the two walls includes a substantially planar region, having an associated thickness, that transitions into a corner region. The two walls join in the corner region to form an outer edge portion and an inner edge portion. The interior surface of each wall in the corner region approaches the exterior surface as the interior surface advances toward the inner edge portion such that the thickness in the corner region does not exceed the thickness of the substantially planar region. The components are substantially adjacent such that the outer edge portions are disposed opposite and substantially parallel to each other.
