Patent ID: 7370479

Claim:
Switch cupboard for receiving electrical and electronical components and switching elements which is subject to a rotation and which has at least one cooling device ( 30 ) with a cold emitting device part ( 31 ) placed in its inner space ( 23 ) and with a heat emitting device part ( 32 ) which is situated outside the switch cupboard ( 20 ), whereby the cooling device ( 30 ) is preferably configured as a Peltier element ( 130 ), whereby the switch cupboard ( 20 ) is placed for example in the tower head ( 11 ) of a wind power station ( 10 ) which consists of a tower ( 12 ), the tower head 811 ), a wind driven turbine ( 13 ) and an electrical generator ( 14 ) placed in the tower head ( 11 ), whereby the turbine ( 13 ) set into rotation by wind transmits the movement of rotation over a rotor shaft ( 15 ) or a gear to the electrical generator which transforms the rotation energy into electrical current, wherein a condensate ring ( 41 ) is placed as a shell shaped collecting trough ( 40 ) in the area of the cold side ( 31 a ) of the cooling device ( 30 ) which is placed in a wall ( 22 ) of the switch cupboard ( 20 ), cold side which is situated in the inner space ( 23 ) of the switch cupboard ( 20 ), whereby the inner space ( 42 ) is connected with a hose ( 50 ) guided out of the inner space ( 23 ) of the switch cupboard ( 20 ) which is configured as a spiral hose ( 50 a ) in the area of the warm side ( 32 a ) of the cooling device ( 30 ) situated outside the switch cupboard ( 20 ), whereby the spirally configured section ( 50 a ) of the hose ( 50 ) is configured as a spiral ( 51 ) with a constant radius or as an opening spiral ( 52 ) and whereby the axles of the rotor shaft ( 15 ) and of the condensate ring ( 41 ) enclosing the cooling body are parallel.
