Abstract

A heat exchange apparatus having a housing that includes a first region and a second region, and a wall separating the first region from the second region, is disclosed. The second region includes a fluid flow entry port and a fluid flow exit port to define a fluid flow path, and a heat exchanger exposed to the fluid flow path. The heat exchanger includes first and second portions in thermal communication with each other, where the first portion is disposed at the first region and the second portion is disposed at the second region. The fluid flow path is isolated from the first region and provides for the removal of heat from the first region.
