Abstract:
An electrical power conversion apparatus is provided which includes a semiconductor module and a plurality of cooling pipes. Each of the cooling pipes has an electrical conductivity and a cooling medium flow path formed therein. Each of the cooling pipes is equipped with a flow path extension forming portion which protrudes above a module body in at least one of height-wise directions and in which a portion of the cooling medium flow path is formed. The flow path extension forming portion overlaps at least either of the power terminals or the control terminals in a stacking direction of the cooling pipes. This enhances the efficiency in decreasing the inductance of the power terminals and/or the control terminals, improves the productivity of the electrical power conversion apparatus, and enables the size of the electrical power conversion apparatus to be reduced.

Claim (Index 4):
An electrical power conversion apparatus as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein each of the first and second cooling pipes is equipped with a heat exchanger which works to exchange thermal energy between the cooling medium and the module body, a cooling medium supply path, and a cooling medium draining path, the cooling medium supply path and the cooling medium draining path being disposed on sides of the heat exchanger which are opposed to each other in the height-wise direction, wherein the cooling medium supply path and the cooling medium draining path are formed in the flow path extension forming portions, and wherein the heat exchanger is designed to have the cooling medium flowing from the cooling medium supply path to the cooling medium draining path.
