Abstract: A bipartite cooling system comprises a first set of cooling equipment that provides for closed cooling air circulation inside a cabinet and a second set of cooling equipment that provides for open cooling air circulation inside the cabinet. For most of the year, cooling of the cabinet can be handled with the first set of cooling equipment, which consists of an air-to-air heat exchanger. For the short period of time that the heat exchanger alone cannot ensure sufficient cooling of the air inside the cabinet, the second set of cooling equipment provides through-flow air circulation. This is achieved by drawing air into the cabinet through a filter and blowing warmed-up air out.

Abstract: The output of known cooling equipment cabinets fitted with air-to-air heat exchangers is not sufficient for hot climates. The proposed cooling system is bipartite, comprising a first set of cooling equipment that provides for closed cooling air circulation inside the cabinet, and a second set of cooling equipment that provides for open cooling air circulation inside the cabinet. For most of the year, cooling of the cabinet can be handled with the first set of cooling equipment, which consists of an air-to-air heat exchanger (100). For the short period of time that the heat exchanger alone cannot ensure sufficient cooling of the air inside the cabinet, the second set of cooling equipment will be employed to provide through-flow air circulation. This is achieved by drawing air into the cabinet through a filter (104) and blowing warmed-up air out.

Abstract: Tuning a combiner filter, which includes two separate tuning modes: coarse adjustment applied when the combiner is taken into use by utilizing a measuring branch for forward power and a coarse measuring branch for reflected power; and fine adjustment applied in continuous operation by utilizing the measuring branch for forward power and a fine measuring branch for reflected power. The two-stage adjustment decreases the mutual interference of the filters during tuning. The correct tuning frequency of the combiner filter is obtained as the average point of the reversing points obtained in the adjustment process, the filter being driven to the average position. This so-called positional average tuning has two advantages: the effect of noise present in the power measuring line is reduced, and the tuning error caused by the termination of the dynamics of the A/D converter positioned after the detector at low power levels and good combiner filter settings is diminished.

Abstract: A device for tuning a combiner filter. The measuring signals (P.sub.rl . . . P.sub.rn, P.sub.F1 . . . P.sub.Fn) of a number of different combiner filters are multiplexed to the same detectors. Multiplexing allows the measuring and adjusting electronics required by the tuning and adjusting means of combiner filters to be simplified considerably especially with a high number of combiner filters. Multiplexing of measuring signals is used primarily to select the sample signals of the forward and reflected power of one and the same combiner filter to be tuned for the measuring electronics. In the invention selectors for reflected power and forward power are independent of each other, which allows isolation measurement between different channels. The sample signal of the forward power of one combiner filter and the sample signal of the reflected power of another combiner filter are thus connected to the measuring electronics.
