Abstract
A heat exchange assembly includes a thermal bridge including upper and lower bridge elements including upper and lower plates arranged in plate stacks. The lower plates include lower fin plates and lower spacer plates with lower ends configured to be mechanically and thermally coupled to the electrical component. The upper plates include upper fin plates and upper spacer plates with upper ends configured to be mechanically and thermally coupled to a heat exchanger. The upper and lower fin plates are interleaved. The heat exchange assembly includes installation spring elements coupled between the upper and lower plates and biased against the upper and lower plates during installation. The installation spring elements are removable after the upper and lower plates are coupled to the electrical component and the heat exchanger to remove the biasing force between the upper and lower plates.
