An apparatus is disclosed including a fan producing an outlet fluid flow, and an inlet receiving an inlet stream and operably coupled to the fan. The apparatus further includes a divider separating the outlet flow into a first outlet stream and a second outlet stream, a first flow path directing the first outlet stream to a first heat transfer device thermally coupled to a first heat generating device, and a second flow path directing the second outlet stream to a second heat transfer device thermally coupled to a second heat generating device. In certain embodiments, the first and second heat transfer devices are a radiator and a surface of a generator, and the first and second heat generation devices are an internal combustion engine and the generator.
