Abstract
This technology relates to a system for cooling sensor components. The cooling system may include a sensor which has a sensor housing, a motor, a main vent, and a side vent. Internal sensor components may be positioned within the sensor housing. The motor may be configured to rotate the sensor housing around an axis. The rotation of the sensor housing may pull air into an interior portion of the sensor housing through the main vent, and the air pulled into the interior portion of the sensor housing may be exhausted out of the interior portion of the sensor housing through the side vent.
