Abstract
An arrangement in a motor vehicle includes a housing configured to accommodate a technical component, at least one pressure equalization element integrated into the housing, a cooling device configured to cool the technical component in the housing, and a control device configured to control the cooling device. The control device is configured such that, in the event of an exceedance of a temperature threshold value in the housing, the control device increases the cooling power of the cooling device in order to attain a first temperature value in the housing. After such an increase, proceeding from a second temperature value in the housing, the control device decreases the cooling power such that thermal residual energy of the technical component is sufficient to evaporate the condensation water generated in the housing as a result of the cooling, wherein the second temperature value is higher than the first temperature value.
