Abstract
A heatsink or heat exchanger for one or more power modules of an inverter or a converter comprises a coolant flow channel, comprised of a plurality of coolant flow channel portions that form a switchback or serpentine flow path, and that is adapted to circulate coolant inside the heat exchanger or heatsink. One or more vents can be provided inside the heat exchanger or heatsink to pass air from one coolant flow channel portion to an adjacent coolant flow channel portion.
