  • Patent number: 9818673
    Abstract: A cooler includes a cooling pipe having a cooling surface in contact with a heat-exchanged component, and a refrigerant passage. A pair of outer passages are formed between a pair of opposed inner wall surfaces which are located at both ends of an inner wall surface of the cooling pipe in a perpendicular direction and which constitute the refrigerant passage, and a pair of partition walls that are located at both ends of an inner fin in the perpendicular direction. At least one flow-regulating rib is formed in the refrigerant passage to project into the refrigerant passage at a position inward of the pair of outer passages in the perpendicular direction and at a position outward of an inflow hole and a discharge hole in the perpendicular direction as well as at a position outward of the inner fin in an arrangement direction and at a position inward of the inflow hole and the discharge hole in the arrangement direction.
