In one embodiment, a cooling duct unit includes an air moving unit base with an air moving unit to draw and accelerate air from outside a computer system chassis to a high velocity airflow. Connected to the air moving unit base is a duct to converge and change the high velocity airflow from a circular shape to a noncircular shape. The converged and changed high velocity airflow is directed to cool a device within a computer system chassis. As a result, the device within the computer system is chassis cooled more uniformly and efficiently, while reducing acoustic noise and providing a modular cooling duct unit design for ease of attachment and removal.Field of SearchWith cooling meansWith cooling means Fan or blower With heat sink or cooling fins Liquid Mechanical gas pump Heating or cooling means and gas pump in housing With injector-type gas pump Verging gas flow Radial flow through annular heating or cooling means Single inlet, plural outlets Air cooled, including fins INCLUDING HEAT INSULATION OR EXCHANGE MEANS (E.G., FINS, LAGGING, ETC.)
