Abstract (en)

The present invention is concerned with the cooling of electrical heat sources, in particular for improving the cooling of a transformer. A power unit (200) with a heat producing unit (203) comprising at least one heat source (202) and with a cooling unit comprising at least one heat exchanger device (100) and at least a portion of a secondary chamber (209) is provided. The at least one heat source (202) is thermally connected to the at least one heat exchanger device (100). The heat producing unit (203) and the cooling unit (201) are attached to one another such that a substantially closed primary chamber (211) with at least one heat source (202) is formed. The primary chamber (211) is structurally separated from the secondary chamber (209), and the primary chamber (211) and the secondary chamber (209) are thermally connected to one another by the at least one heat exchanger device (100) in an operating state of the power unit (200).
