description
Electroactive polymers ACTUATED AIR FLOW THERMAL MANAGEMENT MODULE.A thermal management apparatus comprising:a housing defining a first air flow channel and a second air flow channel;an electroactive polymer actuator located within the housing, the electroactive polymer actuator configured to move in response to an activation signal; wherein the electroactive polymer actuator defines a first chamber in fluid communication with the first air flow channel and defines a second chamber in fluid communication with the second air flow channel, the first and second chambers fluidically isolated from each other; and wherein the electroactive polymer actuator is configured to oscillate when excited by the activation signal and eject pulses of air through the first and second air flow channels.
