1. A cooling system having a closed cooling duct system formed between a main inlet and a main outlet for a cooling medium, the cooling system including at least one cooling duct section, the cooling system comprising:
two or more individual modular elements, each of the individual modular elements including at least one partial segment of the at least one cooling duct section, wherein, in a connecting region of the two or more individual modular elements, the at least two or more individual modular elements are detachably connected to one another, and wherein, in the connecting region, each of the at least one partial segment of the two or more individual modular elements continuously connect to one another to form the at least one cooling duct section;
wherein adjacent ones of the individual modular elements each have, in the connecting region, a complementary element of a common media coupling, the media coupling being a sealing coupling, wherein in a detached connection between the adjacent individual modular elements, the partial segment contained in the adjacent individual modular elements are sealed in media-tight fashion at least in the connecting region, and in a coupled connection between the adjacent individual modular elements, in the connecting region, a passage is open for a flow of cooling medium inside the media coupling,
wherein the cooling system has at least two secondary connections, each having an electrically controllable or regulable flow valve for adjusting a volume flow of the cooling medium, wherein a cooling capacity of a connected external cooling device is adapted to an actual cooling need in a variable or defined manner.
