Abstract
A cooling system for telecommunication equipment including a heat exchanger having outwardly protruding, parallel fins to dissipate heat. Each pair of fins forming an elongated channel. The system includes an ejector positioned within each channel to direct pressurized air through the channels while dragging ambient air through the channels along with the pressurized air. The pressurized and ambient air passing through the channels increases the ability of the fins to dissipate heat. Since the source of pressurized air can be remote from the telecommunications equipment in a protected and easily accessed location, the ejectors provide a rugged cooling mechanism adjacent the heat exchanger with no moving parts.
