  • Publication number: 20250008689
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus for power modules includes a manifold cover and a pin plate, and generates vertical turbulent flow of the cooling fluid in such a way as to spray the cooling fluid vertically onto the heat-generating surface using cooling fins of a pin plate configured in the lengthwise and vertical directions of a manifold cover, which ensures cooling efficiency while minimizing flow rate losses caused by the vertical turbulent flow by improving the flow efficiency of the cooling fluid. The manifold cover is provided with a plurality of flow paths for the circulation of the cooling fluid that have different directions respectively for the inflow and the circulation of the cooling fluid and are different in volume or width, minimizing pressure losses during fluid circulation and resolving cooling imbalances through the cooling fins.

  • Publication number: 20240431071
    Abstract: A power module cooling device includes a manifold cover and a fin plate contained in the manifold cover, wherein a cooling fluid is ejected perpendicularly to heating surfaces through cooling fins of the fin plate configured perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the manifold cover so that a vertical turbulent flow of the cooling fluid is generated, thereby securing cooling efficiency, and flow characteristics of the cooling fluid are improved, minimizing flow rate loss due to the vertical turbulent flow. respective cooling channel portions of the manifold cover corresponding to respective power modules have different cooling performances so that respective power modules are cooled in a balanced manner. Accordingly, cooling imbalance is removed, and the power modules are thus stabilized and maintain performance.

  • Patent number: 12144146
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus of a power module includes a guide provided inside a manifold cover to control a flow of a cooling fluid, wherein the cooling fluid circulated inside the manifold cover forms a vertical turbulent flow by the guide so that cooling efficiency of the power module is secured only using an internal structure of the manifold cover. Thus, heat dissipation performance is improved without a separate fin plate or a separate nozzle injection device.
