Abstract
A control cabinet with a frame having framing profiles and covered with side members and at least one door. The frame surrounds the inside of the control cabinet where electrical components are integrated. An air conditioning device which is placed on at least one vertical side of the frame rejects heat generated inside the control cabinet. This invention provides this type of cooling apparatus with additional equipment without the need for a large number of pieces. For this purpose, a separating member, parallel to the lateral side and placed at a distance therefrom, is attached to the framing profiles and forms with the side channel an air guiding channel. Moreover, the separating member comprises several passages for providing a physical connection between the air guiding channel and the inside of the control cabinet. Furthermore, air can be conveyed through the air guiding channel and through at least one passage by using at least one fan.
