Abstract: Apparatus and method adapted for use with an optionally pre-conditioned air supply that is pressurized, for ramping a component to a temperature setpoint, having a vortex tube, a ventilated mount connected to the vortex tube, a pedestal adapted for thermal connection with the component, and a heat exchanger thermally connected with the pedestal and extending within an inward hollowed and enclosed chamber of the ventilated mount, the chamber having wall thickness and size and having a plurality of smaller apertures, or a single larger aperture, therein, and optionally baffling, so as to be adapted for regulating the airflow through the chamber for effectively ramping the temperature of the component and to maximize noise abatement performance.
