  • Publication number: 20200412107
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switch cabinet arrangement with at least one switch cabinet housing and at least one cooling device for cooling air contained in the switch cabinet arrangement, wherein the cooling device has at least one refrigerant circuit including a flammable refrigerant, wherein the switch cabinet arrangement has at least one refrigerant sensor which detects a concentration of the flammable refrigerant in the air and is evaluated by a control unit which is adapted to trigger a safety function for reducing the concentration of the flammable refrigerant in the air below the threshold value if a threshold value of the concentration is exceeded. A corresponding method is also described.

  • Patent number: 10076060
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cooling device, in particular for cooling components that are housed in a switchgear cabinet, comprising a first cooling fan for blowing air from the switchgear cabinet through a first heat exchanger, and a second cooling fan for blowing ambient air through a second heat exchanger, characterized in that the cooling device further comprises a voltage supply having a step-up and/or step-down converter, which is connected via a rectifier to a wide-range input for single-phase or multiphase AC voltage, and which charges a capacitor to a DC link voltage which is higher or lower than a mains voltage across the wide-range input, a power supply unit of at least one of the two cooling fans being connected in parallel to the capacitor. The disclosure further relates to the use of such a cooling device and to a corresponding method for operating the cooling device.
