<p>Resistor bank cooling apparatus (1) has an enclosure (2) surrounding a resistor bank (4). At least one first vane (6) directs into the enclosure (2) air flowing past an open side (12) thereof, which open side (12) is not a side facing the direction from which the air flowing past the enclosure (2) flows. The resistor bank (4) has a resistor element (22) which functions as at least one airflow directing baffle. The or each first vane (6) and the or each baffle are each disposed thereby to create an air flow through the enclosure (2) which achieves a sufficiently even cooling of the resistor bank (4). At least one second vane (60) to the side of the or each first vane (6) remote from the open side (12) captures and deflects into the enclosure (2) air which 'bounces off' the closed facing sides.</p> |
