Samsung patents cooling system with swappable air filters
Samsung describes a cooling setup for electronics that uses a fan and a thermoelectric cooler to manage heat. The system features two filter sections, each with its own slot, allowing a blocking panel to seal off one path so a filter can be replaced without stopping airflow.
In the filing’s own words
A cooling system includes an air supply unit, and a filter unit providing an air intake path and an air exhaust path. The filter unit includes a first filter part including a first filter and providing a first panel slot, a second filter part including a second filter and providing a second panel slot, and a blocking panel. The blocking panel is located in one of the first and second panel slots.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A cooling system comprising: an air supplier comprising a fan configured to suck air and a thermoelectric cooler; and a filter unit providing an air intake path and an air exhaust path, wherein the filter unit comprises: a first filter part including a first filter and providing a first panel slot; a second filter part including a second filter and providing a second panel slot; and a blocking panel, and wherein the blocking panel is located in one of the first and second panel slots and is configured to block a path of air through one of the first filter part and the second filter part.
