PURPOSE:To facilitate the designing, to reduce the weight of a vehicle, to improve a vehicle speed and to eliminate noise by coupling an inverter to the evaporating part of a heat pipe, and coupling the body of the vehicle to the condensing part of the pipe. CONSTITUTION:When an inverter 1 generates heat as a vehicle travels, the heat from the inverter 1 is transferred to the evaporating part 4d of a heat pipe 4 via a heat collecting plate 3, and transferred to a bonnet 2b from the condensing part 4e of the pipe 4. The heat transferred to the bonnet is cooled by traveling wind as the vehicle travels, thereby cooling the inverter 1. Thus, since the inverter 1 can be cooled by a simple structure, the degree of freedoms of the layout of the inverter 1 is increased, its designing is facilitated, the weight of the vehicle is reduced, the speed of the vehicle is improved. Since a member required for a mechanical operation is not used, noise is not generated. |
