<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric power conversion system enabling sufficient cooling of circuit components, such as a capacitor and a power module, in a simple and small configuration and an electric drive vehicle using the electric power conversion system. <P>SOLUTION: In an electric power conversion system 3, power modules 21, 22 having at least switching elements and converting DC power to AC power and a plurality of capacitors 26, 27 smoothing the DC power are disposed within a case body 6 having a sealed structure. The case body 6 comprises: two divided division case bodies 6L, 6H; and a flat plate-shaped liquid-cooled heat sink 7 interposed between the two division case bodies 6L, 6H to close division faces of the two division case bodies 6L, 6H and mounted with the power modules 21, 22. Gas flow passages 11, 12 communicating the two division case bodies 6L, 6H with each other are formed in the liquid-cooled heat sink 7. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
