A forced air convection apparatus and method for cooling turbomachines is provided. The forced air convection apparatus for cooling a turbomachine, the apparatus comprising: a duct assembly having one or more outlets which are removably joinable to one or more corresponding air intakes of the turbomachine, and further having one or more inlets which are removably joinable to one or more corresponding exhausts of the turbomachine to enable closed loop recirculatory airflow through the turbomachine and the duct assembly and back to the turbomachine; and an air handling system having a blower arranged to blow air from the one or more inlets of the duct assembly to the one or more outlets of the duct assembly, and further having a heat exchanger configured to cool the air flowing through the duct assembly.
