Abstract

A system for cooling a power source enclosure (34) may include a power source enclosure configured to substantially enclose a power source (12), and an airflow provider, located separately from the power source enclosure. The system may further include a conduit (50) configured to provide a fluid connection between a section of the airflow provider and an area inside the power source enclosure, wherein the conduit includes a first end (61) configured to terminate near the section of the airflow provider, such that during operation of the airflow provider a pressure differential exists at the first end, and a second end (62) configured to terminate on or within the power source enclosure.
