The refrigeration device for electronic components features a plate that is equipped on both sides with heat exchanger elements (22), along whose surface two separate air stream paths are disposed, of which one guides external air and one internal air. The refrigeration device features two intakes (15, 16), which lie in one plane, that are in a flow connection with two separated chambers (19, 20). Furthermore the two chambers are in an air stream connection by means of guiding plates (25, 26) with channels (23, 24) on the upper- and lower side of the plate.
