ABSTRACT:
A method for selectively cooling one or more heat-generating electronic components in an enclosure. Air is passed through an enclosure that houses one or more heat-generating components. Heated air is separated into at least first and second parallel airstreams within the enclosure. The first airstream is passed through a first heat exchanger in thermal contact with a first side of a thermoelectric cooling module. The second airstream is passed through a second heat exchanger in thermal contact with a second side of the thermoelectric cooling module. A voltage is applied to the thermoelectric cooling module to cool the first side and heat the second side of the thermoelectric cooling module. A temperature at a location in the enclosure in sensed and the voltage applied to the thermoelectric cooling module is varied in response to the sensed temperature.
