NOVELTY - The cabinet (102) has an air introducing duct conducting air from a heat load chamber to an air-based geothermal cooling system (104), and an air discharging duct conducting the air from the cooling system to the chamber. Power regulation components power electronic equipment residing in the chamber. The air discharging duct and the air introducing duct are flexible. A geothermal cooling air transferring device increases a rate of air circulation through the cooling system. Mounting interface components mount the cabinet to an above-ground platform.    USE - Telecom utility cabinet for use by telecom operators and government facilities.    ADVANTAGE - The air-based geothermal cooling system is featured with a smaller installation footprint, a scalable design, a reliable construction, lower cost, lower power consumption, and lower acoustic noise levels. The system is implemented for temperature stabilization in a battery chamber to extend battery life. The system utilizes slated hole arrangements to avoid rock formations and/or to minimize spacing between telecom utility cabinets at the surface while providing sufficient underground spacing between the respective air-based geothermal cooling systems. The geothermal cooling air transferring device increases the rate of air circulation through the cooling system, so that the thermal load generated by the electronic equipment within the cabinet is dissipated, and hot air that is generated by the equipment within the cabinet flows through the cooling system and returns the air to the cabinet with a reduced temperature, thus allowing reductions in the operational costs, maintenance costs, and the environmental footprint of the cabinet. The cabinet improves the cooling ability of electronic equipment, while being environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
