Abstract:
An arrangement for cooling a closed, sealed cabinet (1), comprising a thermosiphon heat exchanger (2) disposed inside the cabinet (1) and having an evaporator (3) and a condenser (4) for circulating a working fluid between the evaporator (3) and the condenser (4) in a closed loop, wherein the working fluid evaporated in the evaporator (3) by heat flows to the condenser (4) for cooling and the condensed working fluid flows back to the evaporator (3). The evaporator (3) is exposed to hot air flow generated inside the cabinet (1), and a heat transfer element (5) is attached to the condenser (3) in a sealed manner through a cabinet wall (6) for transferring heat to the outside of the cabinet (1).
