Abstract

An apparatus for cooling warm air, including a rack containing one or more ventilation slots; a reservoir connected to the rack that contains a cooling solution; and a plurality of components, located within the rack, that receive and distribute the cooling solution from the reservoir. The plurality of components consist of at least one of the following structures: one or more hollow vertical louvers, one or more hollow horizontal louvers, one or more hollow diagonal louvers, and one or more hollow cylindrical louvers. Additionally, the plurality of components may comprise a flexible material that descends from a top portion of the rack, directly below the reservoir, at the same time that an activation component causes the cooling solution to flow from the reservoir into the flexible material.
