Cabinet

Abstract

A cabinet for refrigerating electronic equipment positioned in a compartment of a cabinet body, said cabinet further being arranged with a cabinet door for closing an access opening to said compartment; at least one partitioning means for partitioning the compartment into at least two sub-compartments, wherein the at least two sub-compartments are in fluid communication; a cooling system arranged in the cabinet door, the cooling system being in fluid communication with the compartment via a fluid outlet and a fluid inlet, the cooling system comprising a fan for discharging cooling fluid via the fluid outlet into at least a first sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartments and for exhausting fluid via at least a second sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartments through the fluid inlet; and at least a gasket for abutting, upon closing the cabinet door, the at least one partitioning means to said cabinet door, thereby hindering fluid to pass between the sub-compartments at the cabinet door, wherein the at least one gasket abuts the at least one partitioning means which partitions the at least one first sub-compartment and the at least one second sub-compartment to said cabinet door.

1 . A cabinet for refrigerating electronic equipment positioned in a compartment of a cabinet body, said cabinet further being arranged with:
 a cabinet door for closing an access opening to said compartment;   at least one partitioning means for partitioning the compartment into at least two sub-compartments, wherein the at least two sub-compartments are in fluid communication;   a cooling system arranged in the cabinet door, the cooling system being in fluid communication with the compartment via a fluid outlet and a fluid inlet, the cooling system comprising a fan for discharging cooling fluid via the fluid outlet into at least a first sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartments and for exhausting fluid via at least a second sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartments through the fluid inlet; and   at least one gasket for abutting, upon closing the cabinet door, the at least one partitioning means and said cabinet door, thereby hindering fluid to pass between the sub-compartments at the cabinet door.   
     
     
         2 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid outlet comprises a plurality of fluid outlet openings which are arranged in the cabinet door at positions facing the at least one first sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartments. 
     
     
         3 . The cabinet according to  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of fluid outlet openings are arranged such that the cooling fluid is evenly distributed into the at least one first sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartments. 
     
     
         4 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid inlet comprises at least one fluid inlet opening which is arranged in the cabinet door at a position facing the at least one second sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartments. 
     
     
         5 . The cabinet according to  claim 4 , wherein the total area of the plurality of fluid outlet openings is less than that of the at least one fluid inlet opening. 
     
     
         6 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one first sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartments are arranged at one end of the compartment and the at least one second sub-compartment of said at least two sub-compartment is arranged at an opposite end, thereby allowing fluid to flow from one end of the compartment to the opposite end thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one partitioning means provides a hermitical partitioning at least at the end of the at least one partitioning means facing the cabinet door. 
     
     
         8 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least two sub-compartments are in fluid communication along a rear side of the compartment opposite the access opening. 
     
     
         9 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one gasket is attached to the at least one partitioning means for abutting the cabinet door upon closure thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one gasket is attached to the cabinet door for abutting the at least one partitioning means upon closure of the cabinet door. 
     
     
         11 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one gasket comprises at least a first gasket element attached to the cabinet door and a second gasket element attached to the at least one partitioning means, wherein the first gasket element and the second gasket element are arranged to co-operate with each other upon closure of the cabinet door. 
     
     
         12 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein said cabinet is arranged with at least one partitioning means for partitioning the compartment into a plurality of sub-compartments being in fluid communication, and wherein the fan exhausts fluid via one second sub-compartment and discharges cooling fluid into all other of said plurality of sub-compartment. 
     
     
         13 . The cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein the cabinet is arranged with at least two compartments which are isolated from each other upon closure of the cabinet door.
