TRUNK COOLING FAN

Figure 40 Trunk Cooling Fan
The trunk cooling fan is driven by the necessity to either heat or cool the trunk area when
equipment is installed in the trunk. Previous models of camera systems contained a vault that
had its own environmental controls, but (with the arrival of digital recording) most of these went
away. Multi-piece computers or laptops have been moved to the trunk area and this has caused
the systems to either freeze in cold climates or become overheated in warm climates. The trunk
fan helps to stabilize the temperature in the trunk in a relatively short period of time, helping
the components to function properly. With the cabin of the vehicles becoming more congested,
the trunk-mounting of equipment will continue to be the only available location and the need to
control climate will increase.
