ELECTRIC MODULE FOR IMPROVED THERMAL MANAGEMENT IN ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS

摘要

A method of cooling an electric module comprising a plurality of electronic components and an electric module thereof are disclosed. The electric module (100) comprises an enclosure (110), a plurality of heat sinks (121-123) and a plurality of electronic components (131, 132). The enclosure includes an inlet (112) for entry of a cooling medium (140) within the enclosure and an outlet (114) for output of the cooling medium. The plurality of electronic components are arranged in thermal contact with the plurality of heat sinks within the enclosure and the plurality of heat sinks are arranged such that the cooling medium flows via the heat sinks from the inlet of the enclosure to its outlet. A first surface (122a) of a heat sink (122) is arranged in mechanical contact with an electronic component (132) and a second surface (122b), opposite to the first surface, of the heat sink is arranged in mechanical contact with another electronic component (131).
