Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of circuit and electrical appliance water-cooling structure technology, and in particular to a circuit liquid-cooled radiator. Background Technology
[0002] Generally, liquid cooling is primarily used for heat dissipation of high-power components (such as IGBTs and GTOs) in converters. A typical liquid cooler structure includes an inlet, outlet, cover plate, and base plate; the base plate has fins; the cover plate and base plate are welded together to form a flow channel, where coolant flows and carries away heat. IGBTs and other components are mounted on the upper surface of the cover plate. With advancements in engineering technology, the size requirements for power modules within converters are becoming increasingly smaller. This necessitates the placement of IGBTs and other components on both sides of the liquid cooling plate, increasing power density and heat dissipation while minimizing the size of the power modules. To achieve this, current double-sided liquid coolers employ a single-layer parallel flow channel, primarily consisting of a main flow channel for heat dissipation and side flow channels for water inlet and outlet. In this flow channel layout, the side flow channels occupy more space, reducing the effective cooling area of the water-cooled plate. Summary of the Invention
