Abstract

A tank assembly has heat-generating equipment contained therein. The tank assembly includes a heat pipe having an opening, wherein an interior of the heat pipe contains a liquid and a gas. The tank assembly further includes a tank fixed to the heat pipe and sealing the opening of the heat pipe. The tank houses at least one of a disconnector switch and a circuit breaker operatively connected to the disconnector switch. The sealing of the opening of the heat pipe prevents the liquid and the gas from entering the tank. The heat pipe extends beyond a side of the tank, and has a cooling portion.
