Creating thermal well-being and comfort for humans is now very natural and necessary. From the point of view of ensuring optimal operating conditions for electronic and electrical equipment, it is very important to provide a cooling system. For this reason, the research work deals with the creation of optimal conditions for rising temperatures in rooms with electronics. A combination of cooling systems is proposed to reduce the heat load of electronic components. The first part of the work generally describes the requirements for the design of refrigeration equipment and methods of heat dissipation by natural or forced convection. Depending on the requirement for low-energy equipment, a cooling system with a gravitational heat pipe and fans was designed in the second part of the work. The cooling system was installed in a closed electrical cabinet. The resulting values of the measurements indicated the evaluation of the transferred heat output in free and forced convection. The research also points to a comparison of the individual flow directions created by the fans.
