Abstract:
1. A cooling structure for electrical circuit devices positioned therein that dissipate energy as heat during operation of electrical circuits in which such devices are electrically connected, the cooling structure comprising: a pair of cooling ducts each having a passageway therein formed by passageway walls thereabout and through each of which a coolant can selectively be caused to flow to transport heat away from the cooling structure, an electrical circuit device housing formed by a pair of spaced apart heat transfer plates each joined to a housing side extending between them to provide a sealed housing space in which at least one of the electrical circuit devices is positioned and with each of the heat transfer plates in the pair thereof positioned adjacent to, and thermally coupled to, a corresponding one of the cooling ducts in the pair thereof, and an electrically insulative heat transfer material provided in the sealed housing space so as to be capable of being in contact with at least one of the heat transfer plates in the pair thereof and the one or more electrical circuit devices positioned therein.
