2. Computer fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan

   Fans are, less commonly, used for other purposes such as: Water-cooling radiator transfers a lot of heat, and radiator fans have large static pressure (opposed to case fans that have high airflow) for dissipating heat. Laptop computers lack large openings in the case for warm air to escape.

3. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

   The voltage a computer cooling fan receives is defined by the difference between the voltage wire (+12 V) and the ground wire (+0 V). By connecting one or both wires to a different voltage, the voltage the fan receives will be different from the default 12 V the fan was designed for.

4. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

   Smaller fans are often powered by shaded pole AC motors, or brushed or brushless DC motors. AC-powered fans usually use mains voltage, while DC-powered fans typically use low voltage, typically 24V, 12V, or 5 V. The fan is often connected to machines with a rotating part rather than being powered separately.

5. Thermoelectric cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling

   Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux at the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current.

6. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

   Centrifugal fans are, like axial fans, constant-volume devices, meaning that, at a constant fan speed, a centrifugal fan moves a relatively constant volume of air rather than a constant mass. This means that the air velocity in a system is fixed, but the actual mass of air flowing will vary based on the density of the air.

7. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

   Fans are used when natural convection is insufficient to remove heat. Fans may be fitted to the computer case or attached to CPUs, GPUs, chipsets, power supply units (PSUs), hard drives, or as cards plugged into an expansion slot. Common fan sizes include 40, 60, 80, 92, 120, and 140 mm. 200, 230, 250 and 300 mm fans are sometimes used in high ...
