Abstract

A structure for arranging a heat-generating electric component in an automobile has a heat-generating electric component, and a duct extending from an air conditioning unit. The heat-generating electric component and the duct are disposed between a seat and a floor surface of the automobile. An air outlet hole is formed in the heat-generating electric component, through which air on an inside of the heat-generating electric component is discharged to cool the inside. An exit of the duct is disposed near the air outlet hole of the heat-generating electric component.
