An apparatus (10) and method for applying air to cool an electrical power generator (15) is provided. The apparatus (10) preferably includes a housing (12), a power generator (15) positioned in the housing (12), and a heat transfer device (20) positioned within the housing (12) and adjacent and in fluid communication with air contacting the power generator (15) for receiving relatively hot air from the electrical power generator (15), transferringly cooling the relatively hot air with relatively cooler air received from outside the housing (12) without allowing the relatively hot air to contact and mix with the relatively cooler air, and supplying cooled air from within the housing (12) to the power generator (15). A method for cooling a power generator (15) preferably includes receiving heated air from a power generator (15) positioned within a housing (12), transferringly cooling the received heated air with cooler air received within the same housing (12) from outside the same housing (12) without mixing the received outside cooler air with the received inside heated air, and supplying cooled air to contact the power generator (15).
