Abstract

In this work, a power conversion module (PCM) was packaged and integrated with a double-sided spray cooling system developed to demonstrate vertical thermal management system integration. The parallel design of the power electronics and thermal management system provide the capability for high power density. The spray cooling system designed provides capability for relatively large areas with heat fluxes above 50 W/cm² using a dielectric fluid like FC72trade.
