A first grate is positioned in the housing proximate to a back of the housing. A power module and a motor are coupled to the housing and positioned in the internal space. The motor is selectively operationally couplable to the power module. A fan is coupled to the motor and is positioned in the internal space. The motor is positioned to rotate the fan.
