Claim:
1. An accumulator arrangement, for use in a cooling system which is designed for operation with a two-phase refrigerating medium, comprising: an accumulator vessel with a receptacle for receiving a refrigerating medium; a liquefier adapted to liquefy refrigerating medium to be received in the receptacle of the accumulator vessel before it is fed into the receptacle of the accumulator vessel, and which includes a refrigerating medium outlet for discharging the refrigerating medium liquefied in the liquefier; a heat exchanger arranged in the receptacle of the accumulator vessel, and which includes a refrigerating medium inlet which is directly connected to the refrigerating medium outlet of the liquefier via a connecting pipe for feeding the refrigerating medium liquefied in the liquefier into the heat exchanger, and a refrigerating medium outlet which opens into the receptacle of the accumulator vessel, for discharging the refrigerating medium from the heat exchanger into the receptacle of the accumulator vessel; a vent pipe directly connecting the receptacle of the accumulator vessel to the interior of the liquefier such that the accumulator vessel is vented via the vent pipe into the interior of the liquefier; and a first separation sheet arranged in the liquefier so as to separate a first area of the liquefier from a second area of the liquefier, the second area of the liquefier being arranged above the first area of the liquefier; wherein the first separation sheet is below the surface of the refrigerating medium in the liquefier.
