Two-phase heat exchangers applied to power electronics cooling.

Summary

Experiments have been performed to assess the feasibility of a micro two-phase heat exchanger applied to insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power components cooling. After a brief recall of the principal characteristics of IGBT, a methodology of an evaporator design is presented versus power electronics constraints, then the experimental measurements are compared to the predictions of the thermal and hydraulic performances with water and the inert fluorocarbon liquid (FC72) as coolant fluids.
