Electric Cooling System for Electronic Equipment
First Claim
1. A system for regulating temperature of electronic equipment, the system comprising:
- an outer shell for protecting the electronic equipment from environmental factors, the outer shell having an aperture;
an inner liner fabricated from a material having a high heat transfer coefficient, the inner liner disposed within the outer shell, the inner liner defining an interior cavity and an outer surface wherein the electronic equipment is disposed within the interior cavity;
a thermal insulation material disposed between the outer shell and the inner liner for mitigating heat transfer between an environment and the interior cavity of the inner liner; and
a heat pump thermally mounted to the inner liner through the aperture of the outer shell for transferring heat between the environment and the interior of the inner liner.

Abstract
A system for maintaining a temperature of electronic equipment within its normal operating temperature range is disclosed. The system includes a housing having an inner liner that behaves as a heat sink, an outer shell that protects the electronic equipment from weather or harsh environmental conditions and a thermal insulation material disposed between the outer shell and the inner liner to mitigate heat transfer between the interior cavity of the inner liner and the environment. The system may further include a heat transfer unit mounted to a rear portion of the inner liner so that heat is funneled through the rear portion of the inner liner when transferring heat between the interior cavity of the inner liner and the environment.
