Abstract
An electronics enclosure has a blower and diffuser received within an enclosure. Electronic components are also received within the enclosure. The blower diffuser is positioned in contact with at least one of the electronic components. A shroud surrounds the blower diffuser and the at least one electronic component, and is spaced from an outer surface of the at least one electronic component. An opening is formed through the shroud, such that air can be driven within the shroud from the blower diffuser, and across at least one electronic component, and then outwardly of the opening. A heat exchanger is positioned in the path of air leaving the opening.
