Patent ID: 6889752

Claim:
A weatherproof cabinet with multiple-compartment cooling, comprising: a housing; an electronics compartment located with the housing and being configured for storing electronics; a first fan located within the housing and operative to re-circulate internal air within the electronics compartment; a battery compartment located with the housing and being configured for storing a battery; a door attached to the housing and being movable to provide selective access to the electronics compartment and the battery compartment, the door comprising: a heat exchanger core; a first duct located, at least partially, between the heat exchanger core and an exterior of the door; a second duct located, at least partially, between the heat exchanger core and the electronics compartment; an inlet vent pneumatically interconnected with the first duct; an outlet vent pneumatically interconnected with the first duct; a second fan located, at least partially, within the first duct; and a partition located within the first duct and separating the inlet vent from the outlet vent such that external air is not drawn into the first duct via the outlet vent during operation of the second fan; the second fan being operative to draw external air into the first duct via the inlet vent, direct at least a first portion of the external air across the heat exchanger core, and then direct the first portion of the external air out of the first duct via the outlet vent; an opening located directly between the battery compartment and the first duct; and a battery compartment vent operative to discharge air from the battery compartment such that at least a second portion of the external air drawn into the first duct is directed through the opening and is discharged from the housing via the battery compartment vent.
