This is the type of radar set I worked on for about twelve years, the Westinghouse AN/TPS-43. Everything in it was convection-cooled via over 100 boxer fans except for the transmitter which was cryogenically cooled. As irritating as the headsets were to wear, they did provide some relief from all the fan noise. The heat exchanger outside was even worse!

I can't show photos of what I have worked on. Not even my wife knows what I do for a living. :wink:
