Abstract: A passive cooling system routes air from an enclosure to an ambient environment, via a chimney effect, through one or more indirect pathways and re-directs environmental elements received from the ambient environment. One or more vanes are arranged within an interior space, such that the vanes collectively form one or more indirect pathways to the ambient environment. The vanes preclude environmental elements, including precipitation and particulate matter, from passing through the interior space and into the enclosure. Environmental elements are re-directed by one or more of the vanes, at least in part, to an exterior of the passive exhaust system. Dampers may be adjusted to control airflow through the passive cooling system and restrict environmental elements from entering the passive cooling system. Liquids received from the ambient environment may be re-directed into a reclamation system for use in a cooling system.

Abstract translation: 被动冷却系统通过烟囱效应将空气从外壳引导到周围环境，通过一个或多个间接通路，并重新引导从环境环境接收的环境元素。 一个或多个叶片布置在内部空间内，使得叶片共同形成到周围环境的一个或多个间接通路。 叶片排除环境因素（包括沉淀物和颗粒物）通过内部空间并进入外壳。 环境元件至少部分地由一个或多个叶片重新定向到被动排气系统的外部。 可以调节阻尼器以控制通过被动冷却系统的气流，并限制环境因素进入被动冷却系统。 从周围环境接收的液体可以被重新引导到用于冷却系统的回收系统中。
