Patent attributes
A cooling device including a housing frame, a heat exchanger, an electrically drivable fan unit, a control unit, and a sensor unit. The housing frame can be disposed on a first surface of the heat exchanger. The fan unit is configured so that, during operation of the fan unit, a first air flow is produced toward the first surface of the heat exchanger. The fan unit is accommodated in a recess of the housing frame. The housing frame has at least one air channel having an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening, the air channel being formed parallel to the first surface of the heat exchanger, allowing a second air flow to pass through the air channel along the first surface. A measured quantity is recorded by the sensor unit, and the fan unit is driven by the control unit as a function of the recorded measured quantity.
