Abstract
Air jets are used to entrain ambient air for forced air cooling of electronic components. In the preferred embodiment, individual air jets are associated with each circuit card to entrain and induce flow of a much greater volume of ambient air over each card, thereby cooling it. Modularization and 'hot' servicing are facilitated because each circuit card may have its own cooling system, all of which may be powered by a central source of compressed air. The compressed air source may be remotely located resulting in lower noise and more compactness.
