Outside cabinet assembly

Abstract

An outside cabinet assembly is disclosed. A cavity is formed under ground. An enclosure is received in the cavity. An equipment cabinet is received within the enclosure and configured to house electronic components. An environmental control unit (ECU) is thermally coupled to the equipment cabinet. A utility fluid conveyance (UFC) is disposed outside the enclosure. A thermal transfer system (TTS) is in fluid or thermal communication with the ECU and extending from the enclosure to the UFC disposed outside the enclosure. The TTS may include a heat-conductive conduit thermally coupled to the UFC through a thermal interface material so as to exchange heat with fluid transported by the UFC to regulate an internal temperature of the equipment cabinet while the equipment cabinet remains under the ground.
