Abstract: The cooling module (2) is provided in particular for the internal cooling of a medical device (20) and is constructed as an assembled unit, with a coolant conveyed in a primary-side coolant circuit, with an air-water heat exchanger (8), with a ventilator (6) for generating a secondary-side airstream for cooling using the air-water heat exchanger (8), and with a controller (18A, 18B) for controlling the operation of the cooling module (2), wherein at least a major part of the controller is integrated in the ventilator (6) as a partial control unit (18A). The partitioning of the controller achieves an efficient use of space within the cooling module (2) in such a way that an optimal use of space is obtained in a restricted assembly space for the cooling module (2), and the air-water heat exchanger (8) can be made comparatively large.

Abstract: A cooling device for a plurality of coolant circuits for equipment to be cooled, also those having greatly differing cooling power requirements, whose evaporator is disposed in a refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve. A thermostat switches on the compressor, dependent on the temperature of the coolant in the cooling circuits as measured upstream of the evaporator, if the switching temperature of the coolant is reached and switches off the compressor if the switching temperature is no longer reached.
