  • Patent number: 10083788
    Abstract: An inductor apparatus for a vehicle includes an inductor boosting member configured to boost an input voltage. An inductor case has an insertion groove configured to receive the inductor boosting member inserted thereinto. An inductor cover is configured to close the inductor case. A coolant case is provided on a bottom surface of the inductor case. The coolant case has a coolant passage formed therein. A coolant cover is configured to close the coolant case.

  • Patent number: 9969274
    Abstract: A power conversion module for a vehicle is provided. The module includes a housing and a power conversion unit installed on an inside surface of a bottom panel of the housing. The power conversion unit includes a capacitor module, a power module of an inverter and a LDC. A water-cooling-type cooling unit is installed on an outside surface of the bottom panel of the housing and is in a corresponding position to the power module of the inverter and the LDC, with the bottom panel of the housing interposed therebetween. An air-cooling-type cooling fin is installed on the exterior surface of the bottom panel and is in a corresponding position to a capacitor module, with the bottom panel of the housing interposed therebetween. A radiator blower adjacent to a radiator of a vehicle is configured to generate cooling-air wind to cool the radiator and the air-cooling-type cooling fin.

  • Publication number: 20080112137
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling device for inverter and DC/DC converter (LDC) elements for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and, more particularly, to a cooling device for inverter and LDC elements for HEV that enhances the cooling efficiency by applying a cooling device that uses a heat pipe principle to convect coolant to an inverter system that radiates heat of high temperature.
