Abstract

A thermosiphon cooler arrangement is provided for the cooling of electric and/or electronic components, including a module of an electric and/or electronic system. The module includes a guiding structure and an inlet for receiving a stream of cooling air, and an outlet for releasing cooling air thereafter in an operating state of the module. The guiding structure is provided for guiding the cooling air entering through the inlet and leaving the module through the outlet in an operating state of the module. The module includes a thermosiphon cooler with an evaporator and a condenser for transferring a majority of a heat load to the cooling air in an operating state of the module. The evaporator is tilted with respect to the condenser wherein the condenser is arranged such that a major portion of the cooling air flows through the condenser.
