[0002] In the field of power electronics, IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) devices are widely used in various converters, such as electric vehicles, industrial automation equipment, and renewable energy systems. IGBT devices generate heat during operation, requiring effective heat dissipation measures to ensure their performance and reliability.

[0003] Traditional air cooling methods have limited heat dissipation efficiency and cannot meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-power-density IGBT devices. Therefore, water cooling technology has emerged. Water cooling removes heat through circulating coolant, resulting in higher heat dissipation efficiency.

[0004] However, when conducting thermal cycling tests on IGBT devices, a single water channel design is typically used, resulting in poor temperature uniformity between the hot and cold plates and low cooling efficiency. Summary of the Invention

An S-shaped first flow guiding plate unit is placed in the first flow guiding cavity, and an S-shaped second flow guiding plate unit is placed in the second flow guiding cavity.

[0008] By incorporating S-shaped baffle units, two independent yet interconnected circulation loops are formed. This design increases the water channel length, prolongs the contact time between the coolant and the hot and cold plates, and improves heat exchange efficiency. Simultaneously, the S-shaped structure ensures a more uniform distribution of coolant within the hot and cold plates, effectively preventing localized overheating.

[0012] Preferably, the passive water-cooled plate body has several fixing holes on the side near the heating layer of the water-cooled plate for fixing the water-cooled plate.

[0013] Preferably, the passive water-cooled plate body has several heating through holes on the side near the heating layer of the water-cooled plate for placing heating rods; the heating through holes are evenly distributed in a row.

[0014] Preferably, the water-cooled plate body has several first temperature measuring holes in the middle of the upper and lower surfaces to control the temperature of the heating layer of the water-cooled plate.

[0015] Preferably, a second temperature measuring hole is provided in the middle of the heating through hole where the heating rod is placed for controlling the temperature of the heating layer of the water-cooled plate.

[0016] As a preferred option, the water-cooled plate body is made of copper, and the hot and cold plates are made of copper with a high thermal conductivity, with special surface treatment to enhance heat conduction performance.

[0017] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also provides a passive water-cooling testing device, which includes the aforementioned passive water-cooling plate.

[0019] This invention utilizes an S-shaped guide vane unit to form two independent yet interconnected circulation loops. This design increases the water channel length, prolongs the contact time between the coolant and the hot and cold plates, and improves heat exchange efficiency. Simultaneously, the S-shaped structure ensures a more uniform distribution of coolant within the hot and cold plates, effectively preventing localized overheating.
