Abstract
A housing for an electronic device. The housing includes a first shell at least partly enclosing the electronic device, a second shell, and at least a first fan. The first shell is arranged to allow a gaseous fluid to surround the electronic device. The second shell at least partly encloses the first shell, and is arranged in relation to the first shell such that the gaseous fluid may be present between the shells. The at least first fan is arranged in an opening of the first shell such that it is capable of providing a flow of the gaseous fluid through the opening in the first shell of the gaseous fluid to the second shell and thereby provide heat transport from the electronic device to the second shell.

A housing for an electronic device, the housing being sealed with respect to a surrounding environment, the housing comprising:
- a first shell made of a heat insulating material that at least partly encloses the electronic device, the first shell being arranged to allow a gaseous fluid to surround the electronic device, the first shell including at least one opening;
- a second shell made of a heat conducting material that encloses the first shell, and arranged in relation to the first shell such that the gaseous fluid may be present between the first and second shells;
- and
- at least a first fan arranged in relation to the first and second shells such that, when the fan is running, the fan is configured to provide a flow of the gaseous fluid through the at least one opening in the first shell of the gaseous fluid to the second shell and thereby provide heat transport from the electronic device to the second shell;
- wherein the fan is arranged in relation to the first and second shells such that, when the fan is not running, the gaseous fluid is essentially standing still between the first and second shells and thereby provides insulation from an outer cold environment.
