At least one cooling medium supply and discharge is provided for the cooling medium. Collecting pipe is provided in the region of the bottom collector, that the collecting pipe is spaced away from at least one of the side walls of the bottom collector. The collecting pipe has at least one closable drain and is in communication with the bottom collector in such a way that the cooling medium in the collector can be channeled into the interior of the collecting pipe.
