Abstract
A heating/cooling apparatus for electronic components of a wireless base station is described. The apparatus includes a heat exchanger having a material-filled chamber and a plurality of extrusions. The chamber is located adjacent to the electronic components. A heater is provided within the chamber. The material within the chamber, which is preferably a liquid, serves to conduct heat from the electronic components to the extrusions. The heater serves to heat the material within the chamber, which in turn conducts that heat to the electronic components, when heat is required to maintain operation of the components with prescribed parameters.
