Abstract: A method of producing a power electronic assembly and a power electronic assembly including a power electronic module incorporating multiple of semiconductor power electronic switch components, the power electronic module including a base plate with a bottom surface, the power electronic assembly includes further a cooling arrangement for cooling the power electronic module, the cooling arrangement including a cooling surface adapted to be attached against the bottom surface of the base plate of the power electronic module, wherein the power electronic assembly includes further a thermal interface material arranged between the bottom surface of the base plate of the power electronic module and the cooling surface of the cooling arrangement to transfer heat from the power electronic module to the cooling arrangement, the thermal interface material includes a metal foil and a solid lubricant coating.
Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling element (11) comprising: a fluid channel (1) providing a pulsating heat pipe, a first evaporator (14) for receiving heat from electric components (15) and for passing the heat into fluid in the fluid channel (1), and a first condenser (18) for receiving fluid from the first evaporator (14) via the fluid channel (1) and for cooling fluid in the fluid channel. In order to obtain an even temperature distribution at the first evaporator (14) an adiabatic zone where the temperature of the fluid in the fluid channel (1) remains unchanged or a cooling zone, with a second condenser (20) cooling fluid in the fluid channel (1), separates the first evaporator (14) from the loops (6) in the second end (12) of the fluid channel.
