COOLING DEVICE FOR GASES OCCURRING IN INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a cooling device 10 for hot gases occurring during and after a switching process in electrical installation equipment, preferably in low-voltage circuit breakers. According to the invention, a window 13 with narrow passage openings 17, 18 is arranged in the flow path 20 of the hot switching gases, and the window 13 is made from a material with high thermal conductivity and high heat capacity. The passage openings 17, 18 in the window are planar in shape and are arranged parallel to the flow direction 20 of the switching gases such that no deflection of the switching gases takes place.
