Cooling system for a machine and method of assembly of same

A method for assembling a cooling system for a machine including a machine housing, said method comprising:

• coupling a heat exchanger housing to the machine housing, wherein the heat exchanger housing includes an outer wall;
• coupling at least one outflow air passage defined within the heat exchanger housing in flow communication with an interior region defined in the machine housing;
• coupling at least one return air passage defined within the heat exchanger housing in flow communication with the interior region of the machine housing and in flow communication with the at least one outflow air passage, to enable air to be channeled from the interior region towards the outer wall to facilitate heat transfer heat from the air to the outer wall;
• and
• coupling at least one Peltier effect device to the outer wall of the heat exchanger housing, wherein the at least one Peltier effect device facilitates heat transfer from the outer wall.

A machine comprising:

• a housing;
• a heat exchanger housing coupled to the machine housing, said heat exchanger housing comprising an outer wall, said heat exchanger housing defining at least one outflow air passage coupled in flow communication with an interior region defined in the machine housing, said heat exchanger housing further defining at least one return air passage coupled in flow communication with said machine housing interior region and in flow communication with said at least one outflow air passage to enable air to be channeled from said interior region towards said outer wall to facilitate heat transfer from said outer wall;
• and
• at least one Peltier effect device coupled to said outer wall, said at least one Peltier effect device configured to facilitate heat transfer from said outer wall.
