wherein the heat dissipating device comprises a duct for conveying a liquid or gaseous heat absorption medium,
wherein the duct is closed and arranged on at least two opposite housing walls of the outer housing,
wherein the duct covers a portion of openings on the housing walls,
wherein on the outer side of at least one housing wall the outer housing comprises a receiving channel for the duct such that the duct is arranged at least partially sunk in the receiving channel, and
wherein the duct is arranged and mounted completely outside the outer housing on a housing wall to directly abut on an outer side of the housing wall to maintain stability of the outer housing.
