Claim:
1. A power converter comprising: a power semiconductor module that converts a DC current into an AC current; a first flow path forming body; and a second flow path forming body that forms a housing space for storing the power semiconductor module and the first flow path forming body, wherein the first flow path forming body is configured of a first side wall section facing the power semiconductor module, a second side wall section facing the first side wall section with the power semiconductor module interposed therebetween, and a bottom surface section straddling a bottom surface of the power semiconductor module and connecting the first side wall section and the second side wall section, wherein the first side wall section forms a first flow path space between one surface of the power semiconductor module and the first side wall section, wherein the second side wall section forms a second flow path space between the other surface of the power semiconductor module and the second side wall section, and wherein cooling refrigerant flows through the housing space, the first flow path space, and the second flow path space.
