  • the operating costs can be reduced by the number of fan units 60 used. For example, if three fan units 60 are sufficient to achieve the desired cooling capacity, then these fan units 60 run at maximum speed and thus with maximum energy consumption. For this reason, it is now possible to further, for example, three other fan units 60 (ie up to a total of six fan units 60). As a result, the total air output per fan unit 60 decreases, whereby the energy consumption is reduced. This results in significant savings in operating costs and extended lifetimes.

  • an electrical control circuit 50 is integrated in the receiving space of the cooling device. This is arranged downstream of the heat exchanger 20 in the flow direction. It is thus cooled by the heat exchanger 20 and there are no other design measures required for this. Furthermore, a spatial separation between the rear water-conducting area and the electrical system is achieved by this arrangement of the heat exchanger 20. In addition, the electrical control circuit 50 is arranged for this purpose in the ceiling region of the frame 10.
  • the cooling device has a width parallel to the front side, ie transverse to the air flow direction through the heat exchanger 20 (main flow direction HS) less than or equal to 300 mm. This corresponds to half the standard unit in common data centers.
  • each fan unit 60 is designed such that it conveys an air volume flow in the range between 1 .000 m 3 and 1 .600 m 3 per hour.
  • the water throughput through the heat exchanger 20 should be in the range between 90 and 1 60 l / min in order to obtain a sufficiently uniform utilization of the heat exchanger 20 in the width direction in this narrow width. This is particularly necessary when the receiving space of the refrigerator has a volume in the range of 0.6 to 0.8 m 3 .
