Abstract
An apparatus for cooling electronic devices/modules in a vehicle comprises a main ventilation duct mounted in the vehicle, and includes a blower for forcing air through the main duct. A bypass duct is provided in selective fluid communication with the main ventilation duct, and is adapted to carry electronic devices/modules to be cooled by air forced through the bypass duct. Inlet and outlet valves are provided for selectively varying the amount of air which passes through the bypass duct. The electronic devices may be positioned outside of the bypass duct, or inside the bypass duct if sealed.
