Abstract
An electrical equipment cabinet utilizes a door-mounted, air-to-air heat exchanger for providing cooling to the equipment housed in the cabinet while maintaining a closed or sealed environment within the cabinet. An arrangement of ducts and vents is used to force interior and exterior air through the heat exchanger using powered fans mounted within the main portion of the cabinet. The mounting of the heat exchanger on or within the door of the cabinet makes more efficient use of the space available within the cabinet, and the placement of the fans within the main portion of the cabinet protects them from damage and avoids the need to provide electrical power to the door.
