Abstract:
The invention relates to a cooling apparatus, comprising a first evaporator section (6) with first channels, and a first condenser section (8) with second channels. In order to provide adequate cooling for electric components the cooling apparatus further comprises a second evaporator section (10) with third channels, and a base plate (11) with a first surface (12) for receiving a heat load from electric components (13). The first condenser section (8) is in fluid communication with the second evaporator section (10) for receiving fluid from the second evaporator section, for passing heat from the fluid to surroundings and for returning fluid to the second evaporator section.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cooling element (11) comprising: a fluid channel (1) providing a pulsating heat pipe, a first evaporator (14) for receiving heat from electric components (15) and for passing the heat into fluid in the fluid channel (1), and a first condenser (18) for receiving fluid from the first evaporator (14) via the fluid channel (1) and for cooling fluid in the fluid channel. In order to obtain an even temperature distribution at the first evaporator (14) an adiabatic zone where the temperature of the fluid in the fluid channel (1) remains unchanged or a cooling zone, with a second condenser (20) cooling fluid in the fluid channel (1), separates the first evaporator (14) from the loops (6) in the second end (12) of the fluid channel.

In order to obtain a cooling apparatus providing excellent cooling, the first (2) and second (3) manifolds are solid blocks providing channel loops (10, 11), and the channels (8) of the tubes (4) are connected by the channel loops (10, 11) to other predetermined channels (8) of the tubes (4).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus (1) utilizing a diffusion-absortion cycle for cooling electric components, the apparatus comprising a generator (5), an evaporator (6), an absorber (8) and a condenser (9) circulating a refrigerant (R), an inert (I) and an absorbent (A) in a diffusion-absorption cycle. The generator (5) and the evaporator (6) are arranged in an electric cabinet (2) to receive a heat load from primary electric components (3) and secondary electric components (4) . The absorber (8) and the condenser (9) are arranged outside of the electric cabinet (2) and at a higher level than the evaporator (6) to receive fluid from the generator (5) and the evaporator (6) and for dissipating heat from the received fluid to the surrounding environment. The inert (I) and refrigerant (R) are selected such that the inert (I) is heavier than the refrigerant (R) in order to obtain fluid circulation where the inert (I) exiting the absorber (8) flows downwards to the evaporator (6) and the inert (I) exiting the evaporator (6) flows upwards to the absorber (8).
Abstract:
A cooled electrical assembly comprising an electric component element (2; 2b) comprising at least one electric component (21, 22 ; 21 b, 22b), a grounding element (4; 4b) adapted to ground the electric component element (2; 2b) during normal operation of the cooled electrical assembly, and a cooling element (6; 6b) adapted for transferring heat out of the electric component element (2; 2b), the cooling element (6; 6b) comprising electrically conducting material, and being attached to the electric component element (2; 2b) through assembly attachment means. The assembly attachment means are adapted to substantially prevent any grounding current from flowing in the cooling element (6; 6b) during normal operation of the cooled electrical assembly.
