Claim Text:
1. A power conversion apparatus comprising: a first power semiconductor module including a power semiconductor element for converting a direct current to an alternating current; a capacitor module including a capacitor element for smoothing the direct current; and a flow path forming body for forming a flow path through which a cooling refrigerant flows, wherein the flow path forming body has a first flow path forming body that forms a first flow path part for cooling the first power semiconductor module, and a second flow path forming body that forms a second flow path part for cooling the capacitor module, wherein the first flow path forming body is provided on a side portion of the second flow path forming body and is integrally formed with the second flow path forming body, wherein the second flow path forming body forms a housing space for housing the capacitor module above the second flow path part, wherein the first flow path part is formed at a position facing the side wall that forms the housing space, and wherein the first power semiconductor module is inserted into the first flow path part.
