A cooling system configured to cool an interior of an enclosure includes a cabinet, and a vortex tube secured within the cabinet. The cabinet defines a venting chamber. The vortex tube includes a hot pipe within the venting chamber, and a cool gas delivery pipe extending outwardly from the cabinet.
A cooling system configured to cool an interior of an enclosure includes a cabinet, and a vortex tube secured within the cabinet. The cabinet defines a venting chamber. The vortex tube includes a hot pipe within the venting chamber, and a cool gas delivery pipe extending outwardly from the cabinet. The cool gas delivery pipe is configured to deliver cold gas to the interior of the enclosure. A dampening sleeve may be secured around at least a portion of the hot pipe, such that the dampening sleeve dampens noise produced by the vortex tube. Additionally, at least one dampening sheet may line at least a portion of the interior and exterior surfaces of the cabinet.

The cooling system of claim 1, wherein said cabinet compnses: a base integrally formed with a rear wall and lateral walls; an upper wall integrally formed with said rear wall and said lateral walls, said venting chamber being defined by said base, said rear wall walls, said lateral walls, and said upper wall; a cover over said venting chamber; at least one dampening sheet lining at least a portion of at least one of said base, said rear wall, said lateral walls, and said upper wall, said at least one dampening sheet being configured to dampen noise produced by said vortex tube. 4. The cooling system of claim 3, wherein said at least one dampening sheet comprises open cell foam. 5. The cooling system of claim 3, further comprising at least one flexible dampening rod folded and compressed within said venting chamber. 6. The cooling system of claim 5, wherein said at least one flexible dampening rod comprises open cell foam. 7. The cooling system of claim 1, further comprising a thermostat extending outwardly from said cabinet, said thermostat configured to be positioned within the interior of the enclosure. 8. The cooling system of claim 1, further comprising at least one vent pipe secured within said cabinet, wherein said at least one vent pipe is configured to allow gas within the interior of the enclosure to vent into said venting chamber. 9. The cooling system of claim 8, further comprising at least one flexible open-ended tube secured to said at least one vent pipe, wherein said at least one flexible open-ended tube is configured to allow gas to vent from said at least one vent pipe through said at least one flexible tube. 10. The cooling system of claim 1, wherein said cabinet further comprises a venting opening configured to allow gas to vent out of said cabinet. 11. The cooling system of claim 1, further comprising a shroud secured to said cabinet over said venting opening, said shroud comprising an exhaust path, wherein exhaust gas passing through said venting opening passes through said exhaust path. 12. The cooling system of claim 11, wherein said shroud comprises at least one internal baffle configured to prevent liquid infiltration. 13. The cooling system of claim 1, further comprising a baffle disposed within said cabinet, said baffle segregating said venting chamber into a hot exhaust portion and a cool exhaust portion. 14. The cooling system of claim 1, further comprising a bleed air hole configured to be in fluid communication with the interior of the enclosure and a source of air, said bleed air hole operable to allow air to pass into the enclosure to maintain a pressure differential between the interior of the enclosure and an outside environment, wherein the pressure differential prevents debris from settling on the enclosure. 15.
