Abstract

A cooling apparatus and method for temperature sensitive components or equipment housed in an enclosure are provided. The cooling apparatus and method removes hot air from the enclosure upon power or air conditioner failure or rise in temperature. The cooling apparatus and method helps to regulate the temperature of air in the enclosure. The cooling apparatus and method may be combined with existing enclosures either as a primary or auxiliary or 'back-up' cooling system.
