  • Patent number: 7619887
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for cooling equipment and network cabinets, particularly server cabinets, in which the fans are integrated into a door. The resulting fan door, in the closed position, covers an access area of the rear of the cabinet and longitudinally adjacent to the fan door is arranged in fixed manner an air-to-fluid heat exchanger, whilst covering a residual area of the rear of the cabinet and to which is articulated the fan door. The heat loss given off to a cooling liquid, particularly cold water, in the heat exchanger is removed via a pipe system outside the cabinet installation area and rigid connecting pipes of a gas-tight material can be used for the connection of the heat exchangers of the individual cabinets to the building-side pipe system.

  • Publication number: 20090185348
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for cooling electrical and electronic components and devices placed in a housing. The invention is particularly intended for outdoor cabinets and housings of the telecommunications technology. In order to create a cooling system in which an inexpensive filter is used and positioned in such a way as to ensure an extremely good sealing action, a filter trough is placed in a housing wall or door, in which the filter is received so as to be detachable and replaceable from the outside and is sealed against the filter trough on its air outlet side with the aid of a circumferential seal.

  • Publication number: 20070158951
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a fastener for multiple locking of doors or wall portions in housings or cabinets, particularly for outdoor use, by means of a lockable actuation member such as a handle lever, comprising a drive toothed wheel which is connected to the actuation member supported in the door so as to be rigid against rotation and which engages with a lock rod which is supported in the door so as to be displaceable axially and which has teeth on at least one side, and with lock elements which are held in the door so as to be rotatable or swivelable and which are coupled with the lock rod. According to the invention, for each lock element, a driven toothed wheel which is connected to the lock elements so as to be rigid against rotation and which engages with the teeth of the lock rod is held on the door in a rotatable manner in order to couple the lock rod with the lock elements.

  • Patent number: 6082441
    Abstract: An equipment cabinet for an electrical and electronic system includes a functional area closed in dustproof and watertight manner and at least one door closing in dustproof and watertight manner. A multishell structure is provided round the functional area and comprises baffle plates, a functional area wall and an outer jacket. Between the baffle plates and functional area wall is formed an internal, channel-like space and between the functional area wall and outer jacket an external, channel-like space. The two channel-like spaces can be supplied by controllable volume flows independently of one another in load-dependent manner.
