Abstract

Method of cooling electrical components, especially electronic components, involving evacuation of the calories produced by said components (2) to an outside medium (5) via one or more thermal loops, whereby intermediate heat exchange steps are provided to PA1 transfer the calories produced by said electrical components directly or indirectly to the liquid coolant of a refrigerating machine, PA1 transfer the calories previously yielded to said liquid coolant to said outside medium (5) whose temperature may be higher than or equal to the operating temperature of said electrical components. An application to automotive vehicle-borne electrical components is described.
