1. A method for operating an arrangement in a motor vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:

  • making available a housing of the arrangement with a technical component in an interior of the housing;

    cooling the technical component in order to attain a first temperature value in the housing, wherein condensation water forms in the housing during the cooling;

    reducing a cooling power starting from a second temperature value in the housing, such that the condensation water in the housing is vaporized with residual thermal energy of the technical component, wherein the second temperature value is higher than the first temperature value; and

    discharging the vaporized condensation water via at least one pressure equalization element integrated into the housing.
