3. The cabinet according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one delivery means is an axial flow fan ( 44 ).
4. The cabinet according to claim 1 , wherein the delivery means ( 44 ) is switched off if the heat transfer means ( 30 ) heats the casing interior ( 22 ).
5. The cabinet according to claim 1 , wherein each heat transfer means ( 30 ) is connected in heat conducting manner to the corresponding shelf ( 28 ) of the frame ( 26 ) in the casing interior ( 22 ) with the aid of a heat transmitting element ( 34 ).
6. The cabinet according to claim 5 , wherein each transmitting element ( 34 ) is arranged in the reception opening ( 38 ) of the insulating insert ( 24 ) and is positioned between the corresponding shelf ( 28 ) and the heat transfer means ( 30 ).
7. The cabinet according to claim 5 , wherein the heat transmitting element ( 34 ) is made from a material having a high thermal conductivity A.
8. The cabinet according to claim 1 , wherein the heat transfer means ( 30 ) is connected in heat conducting manner to the heat exchanger ( 20 ) by a further heat transmitting element ( 36 ).
9. The cabinet according to claim 8 , wherein each further transmitting element ( 36 ) is arranged in the reception opening ( 38 ) of the insulating insert ( 24 ) and is positioned between the heat exchanger ( 20 ) and the corresponding heat transfer means ( 30 ).
