ELECTRIC POWER CONVERTER
First Claim
1. An electric power converter, comprising:
- a cooler, which includes a passage through which a cooling medium flows; and
at least two heat generating bodies, which are dispersedly arranged on two opposing main surfaces of the cooler to be cooled by the cooler,wherein the passage from a cooling medium inlet to a cooling medium outlet of the cooler includes;
an upstream cooling portion and a downstream cooling portion for cooling the at least two heat generating bodies;
an upstream distribution portion located on the cooling medium inlet side;
a downstream distribution portion located on the cooling medium outlet side;
a connecting portion for connecting the upstream cooling portion and the downstream cooling portion; and
a partition portion for partitioning the upstream cooling portion and the downstream cooling portion, and the upstream distribution portion and the downstream distribution portion, andwherein the passage is connected so that the cooling medium flows in order of the upstream distribution portion, the upstream cooling portion, the connecting portion, the downstream cooling portion, and the downstream distribution portion.

Abstract
The passage from a cooling medium inlet to a cooling medium outlet of a cooler includes: an upstream cooling portion and a downstream cooling portion for cooling heat generating bodies; an upstream distribution portion located on the cooling medium inlet side; a downstream distribution portion located on the cooling medium outlet side; a connecting portion for connecting the upstream cooling portion and the downstream cooling portion; and a partition portion for partitioning the upstream cooling portion and the downstream cooling portion, and the upstream distribution portion and the downstream distribution portion. The passage is connected so that the cooling medium flows in order of the upstream distribution portion, the upstream cooling portion, the connecting portion, the downstream cooling portion, and the downstream distribution portion.
