Abstract

An electronic system is described having electronic components and an air flow channel that directs cooled air across the electronic components and directs warmed air into a heat exchanger. The electronic components and air flow channel are within a thermal insulating barrier. The heat exchanger converts the warmed air into the cooled air. The heat exchanger has an interface that couples to a ground loop that accepts warmed fluid from the heat exchanger and provides cooled fluid to the heat exchanger when the ground loop is at least partially located within the earth.
