Claim:
1. A method to maintain an operating temperature range of a fuel dispenser component comprising: circulating an airflow from an exterior of a fuel dispenser to an interior of the fuel dispenser through an airflow inlet; drawing the airflow across a first plurality of protrusions that are in a first horizontal row and then across a second plurality of protrusions that are in a second horizontal row, the second plurality of protrusions being downstream of the first plurality of protrusions; separating the airflow through a fan disposed downstream of the first and second pluralities of protrusions into a conditioning airflow and an ejected airflow; directing the conditioning airflow through a first portion of an outlet of the fan to the fuel dispenser component; and directing the ejected airflow through a second portion of the outlet of the fan substantially distinct from the first portion to the exterior of the fuel dispenser through an airflow outlet channel bypassing the fuel dispenser component.
