Abstract
The invention relates to an equipment cabinet for receiving information-technology (IT) and communication-technology components which generate waste heat during operation. Here, the IT and communication-technology components draw in cooling air from the front side of the equipment cabinet for cooling and discharge this air into a hot-air region after having been heated. The air is guided out of the hot-air region and cooled by a cooling device comprising fans. Furthermore, sensors are provided for determining the pressure differential between the pressure in the hot-air region and in the surroundings of the equipment cabinet. In addition, a method is described for regulating a cooling device in an equipment cabinet of this kind.
