Cooling Concept for Power Electronics 2023-28-0010
The automotive industry is in its transition from Classical Internal combustion engine to electrification, the number of power electronics components inside a vehicle rising exponentially.
New Technologies welcome new challenges, in the context of thermal management considering the power electronics circuit and its design complexity without compromising the reliability and sustainability in performance is a big challenge. Computation of any integrated circuits dissipates heat, need for coolant is must.
The focus was to set the perfect design of the flow path, for the coolant based on the target requirements and to influence the different cooling structures inside the flow path on the coolant flow properties, which in turn influences the thermal management of the system.
This technical paper provides a comprehensive overview of the cooler design parameters specific to a particular application, however this idea can be used as a reference for other applications also with modification in the input parameters of the cooler design. This will enable the development of an efficient coolant circuit for power electronic device.
