Abstract :
The reliability of a power converter can be improved using a well-dimensioned cold plate. At this aim it is necessary to realize a state of the art cold plate by means of thermal-fluid dynamic numerical analysis and ad-hoc designed experimental test bench. Features and metrological characterization of test bench for cold plate design and verification will be discussed in this paper.
