Abstract

A method and system are disclosed for cooling a heat generating object. A coolant is passed through a heat exchanger so that heated air passing through a first portion of the heat exchanger is cooled. A fan unit is selectively positioned relative to the heat exchanger. When activated, the fan unit draws the cooled air through a second portion of the heat exchanger and directs the twice cooled air towards the heat generating object. The fan unit may be repositioned along a different portion of the heat exchanger so as to redefine the flow of air drawn from and directed towards the heat generating object.
