Abstract:
1. A power-electronic arrangement comprising: one or more semiconductor components, a heat exchanger comprising at least one evaporator channel for working fluid and at least one condenser channel for the working fluid, and an electrically conductive element comprising a contact surface providing a thermal contact to an outer surface of a wall of the evaporator channel for transferring heat from the electrically conductive element to the evaporator channel, wherein, a main current terminal of each of the one or more semiconductor components is bonded to the electrically conductive element, the heat exchanger is arranged to operate using the loop thermo-siphon principle, and the contact surface of the electrically conductive element is arranged to provide, in addition to the thermal contact, also a galvanic contact from the electrically conductive element to the outer surface of the wall of the evaporator channel.
