Cooling the trainer

i have a elite fluid trainer (top rated by german “tour” magazine) and a weird problem:

when doing higher intensity workouts, the trainer starts to smoke and overheats after 10-15 minutes.
is there a trick to keep it “cool”?

I don’t know if this helps you or not. Because of my the lack of space around my trainer I happened to place my small honeywell fan behind my kurt kinetic. I found that it keeps the trainer from every getting even the slightest bit hot, even when I’m up to 25-30mph
