Cooling systems for electronic equipments are becoming more important. Cooling technologies using natural and forced convection are limited and operated in very low efficiency A corona discharge is utilized as the driving mechanism for an air pump, which allows for airflow generation with low noise and no moving parts. However they do not enhance the flow rate and overcome the control mechanism of the pump.
in this study a point-mesh type air pump, with a third electro de installed near the corona point, has been proposed and investigated by focusing on elevating the ionic wind velocity and power yield. As a result, the significantly enhanced ionic wind velocity and tremendously increased power yield can be obtained with the proposed air pump system.
