Abstract: A cooling device for an electric component may include a manifold with a coolant section having a coolant inlet trough and a coolant outlet trough. The device may further include a fluid turbulator having a turbulator plate with turbulator fins extending upwardly therefrom, and turbulator inlet openings and outlet openings through the turbulator plate, and a turbulator carrier surrounding the turbulator plate. The fluid turbulator may be installed between the coolant section and the electric component so that a heat exchange reservoir is defined by bottom surface of the electric component, the turbulator plate top surface and the turbulator carrier. Coolant from a coolant source may flow into the coolant inlet trough, through the turbulator inlet opening into the heat exchange reservoir, and out of the heat exchange reservoir through the turbulator outlet opening into the coolant outlet trough to remove heat from the electric component.

Abstract: This patent disclosure describes heat management and removal assemblies for electronic devices that generate heat during use. The disclosed assemblies are particularly useful for cooling insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). The disclosed assemblies provide a low-resistance parallel cooling circuit for efficiently delivering coolant to one or more electronic devices. The disclosed parallel cooling circuits and assembly designs reduce the pump power required to deliver coolant to one or more electronic devices.

Abstract: A cooling device configured to be connected to an object having a surface is disclosed. The cooling device may include a manifold configured to be deposited directly onto the surface of the object, wherein the manifold includes a first side configured to be deposited directly onto the surface of the object, a cavity formed in the first side, an inlet channel fluidly connected to the cavity, and an outlet channel fluidly connected to the cavity. The cooling device may further include a turbulator configured to be deposited directly onto the surface of the object, wherein the turbulator extends into the cavity of the manifold.

Abstract: A cooling module for an electrical component is provided. The cooling module includes a housing defining an interior space for receiving a coolant. A flow directing member is arranged in the interior space of the housing. The flow directing member includes a plate that is divided into a plurality of discrete cells arranged parallel to each other with adjacent cells being separated from each other by a dividing wall. Each cell has an inlet opening in the plate through which coolant is directed onto a surface of the plate and an outlet opening in the plate through which coolant is directed off the surface of the plate. Each cell has a plurality of fins arranged on the surface of the plate in a herringbone pattern.
