This article is devoted to the numerical solution of simplified mathematical-physical model of the temperature field within and outside of real switchboard controlled by free convection. CFD is performed using OpenFOAM software utilizing several solvers (e.g. chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam) modelling the heat transfer and velocity field in the solid object surrounded by fluid. These solvers are based on the finite volume method. The process of numerical simulations is designed so that it was possible to work efficiently with multiple configurations and switchboards locations, including final processing and results evaluation. The field of temperature for three different cooler positions is assessed and the most optimal configuration is searched for.
