ABSTRACT:
A temperature control system includes an enclosure having a plurality of adjoining walls. An inlet louver assembly is disposed within one of the walls, and includes a plurality of inlet louvers. An outlet louver assembly is disposed within an other of the walls, and includes a plurality of movable outlet louvers. An actuator is coupled with the outlet louver assembly for moving the plurality of outlet louvers. An internal combustion engine is disposed within the enclosure. An ambient air temperature sensor is disposed within the enclosure for sensing an ambient air temperature within the enclosure and providing an output signal. An engine temperature sensor is coupled with the engine for sensing a temperature within the engine and providing an output signal. An electrical processing circuit is coupled with each of the ambient air temperature sensor, the engine temperature sensor and the actuator. The electrical processing circuit controls the actuator and thereby the movement of the plurality of outlet louvers dependent upon the output signal from each of the ambient air temperature sensor and the engine temperature sensor.
