POWER CONVERSION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18594278 titled 'POWER CONVERSION DEVICE
The power conversion device described in the patent application consists of a case, a semiconductor module, a first cooler that cools the semiconductor module from one side, a second cooler that cools the semiconductor module from the back side, and a coupling pipe that connects the flow paths of the two coolers. The flow rate of the refrigerant differs between the two flow paths, with the larger flow path having a larger cross-sectional area. The first cooler with the wider flow path is a part of the case housing the semiconductor module, while the second cooler with the narrower flow path is housed in the case with the semiconductor module.
- The power conversion device includes a unique cooling system with two coolers of different flow rates and cross-sectional areas.
- The first cooler cools the semiconductor module from one side, while the second cooler cools it from the back side.
- A coupling pipe connects the flow paths of the two coolers to ensure efficient cooling of the semiconductor module.
- The design allows for effective cooling of the semiconductor module, improving overall performance and longevity.
- The innovative cooling system is integrated into the case of the power conversion device, optimizing space and efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted
The power conversion device has a case, a semiconductor module, a first cooler that cools the semiconductor module from one side, a second cooler that cools the semiconductor module from the back side, and a coupling pipe that couples a flow path of the first cooler with a flow path of the second cooler. A flow rate of the refrigerant is made different between the flow paths, and the flow path having a larger flow rate is larger in cross-sectional area than the flow path having a smaller flow rate. The first cooler having a wider flow path is formed by a part of the case that houses the semiconductor module, and the second cooler having a narrower flow path is housed in the case together with the semiconductor module.
