System and method for regulating temperature inside an instrument housing

摘要

Embodiments of this invention regulate temperature inside an analytical instrument housing using a heat exchanger disposed adjacent an opening in the housing. Coolant is transferred to the heat exchanger to allow the heat exchanger to regulate a temperature of air drawn into the housing and over a temperature sensitive component. In certain embodiments, the coolant is also transferred to other structures and/or components in the instrument to regulate the temperatures of those structures and/or components.
