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.

The invention relates to an electrical enclosure arrangement comprising an electrical enclosure line and a cooling device connected into the line. The electrical enclosure line is formed from multiple electrical enclosures which are connected together. The invention is characterized in that the cooling device suctions hot air out of the electrical enclosures via two opposite faces, each of the faces of the cooling device adjoining a respective electrical enclosure, and blows the air back into the electrical enclosures as cooled air. At least one busbar is guided through a busbar transfer area of the cooling device between the electrical enclosures adjoining the cooling device.

The invention relates to a combination cable and air channel for air conditioning an electrical enclosure, comprising an air channel and a cable channel which adjoins the air channel and which is led parallel to the air channel. A first longitudinal face of the air channel has at least one opening, and a longitudinal face of the cable channel manner. The invention further relates to a corresponding electrical enclosure.

The invention relates to a method for regulating a cooling device fitted in or to a switchgear cabinet, by means of a regulating device, wherein the temperature of the switchgear cabinet interior air is detected and an interior fan assigned thereto for generating an interior air flow through an evaporator and providing cooling air is switched on if the detected temperature of the switchgear cabinet interior air exceeds an upper setpoint temperature, and is switched off if the detected temperature falls below a lower setpoint temperature, and the invention relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method. A reduced energy consumption and an increased service life with reliable operation are achieved by virtue of the fact that after the interior fan has been switched off owing to the lower setpoint temperature being undershot, a timekeeping is started and the interior fan is switched on after a predetermined first time duration for a predetermined second time duration and is then switched off again if the detected temperature still falls below the upper setpoint temperature, as long as the second time duration proceeds, that the intermittent time-controlled mode of operation of the interior fan is cyclically repeated until the upper setpoint temperature is exceeded, after which the interior fan is operated in continuous operation, and that the timekeeping and the intermittent time-controlled mode of operation of the interior fan are started anew if the lower setpoint temperature is undershot.

The invention relates to a filter unit for a switchgear cabinet, comprising a filter housing having an air passage that can be covered by an air passage grating at least to some extent. To allow such a filter unit to be maintenanced easily, it provided according to the invention that the air passage grating is hinged indirectly or directly to the filter housing and can be adjusted between a closed position and an opened maintenance position. The filter housing has a retainer which positively blocks a catch of the air passage grating in the maintenance position.

The invention relates to a switch cabinet or cover with an air-conditioning unit, which comprises a cooling circuit system with an evaporator and a condenser. The evaporator has an integral air circuit, connected spatially with the interior of the switch cabinet and through which the air in the interior of the switch cabinet may be forced, by means of a blower. The condenser is in contact with the remaining components of the cooling circuit, by means of refrigerant lines. According to the invention, in order to reduce emissions from the air-conditioner, due to environmental damage considerations, the evaporator, together with the dedicated blower, is integrated in an evaporator unit, attached to the switch cabinet. The condenser, together with a dedicated blower, is integrated in a condenser unit, whereby the condenser unit is spatially separate from the evaporator unit and from the switch cabinet.
