1. Heat exchanger arrangement comprising a first heat absorbing section and a heat releasing section,
wherein a plurality of heat exchange structures are arranged in parallel to each other, in a plane of extension,
wherein the first heat absorbing section comprises a first plurality of fluid guiding mechanisms and wherein the heat releasing section comprises a second plurality of fluid guiding mechanisms,
wherein each heat exchange structure comprises at least one fluid guiding mechanism of the first plurality and at least one fluid guiding mechanism of the second plurality thermally coupled to each other, and arranged in parallel to each other,
wherein a clearance is disposed between at least two adjacent heat exchange structures to allow airflow between said adjacent heat exchange structures and/or wherein each heat exchange structure comprises a heat sink to thermally couple the at least one fluid guiding mechanism of the first plurality and the at least one fluid guiding mechanism of the second plurality,
further comprising a second heat absorbing section,
wherein the heat releasing section and the second heat absorbing section form a first cooling circuit, wherein the first cooling circuit is a heat pipe, a thermosiphon, or a pulsating heat pipe,
wherein the first heat absorbing section is an evaporator for a second cooling circuit configured as a vapor compression cycle circuit,
wherein the second heat absorbing section comprises a third plurality of fluid guiding mechanisms,
wherein each fluid guiding mechanism of the second plurality is directly connected to a fluid guiding mechanism of the third plurality in the primary direction of extension of the fluid guiding mechanism to form a combined fluid guiding mechanism extending linearly along the primary direction of extension.
