Abstract
Operations associated with charging a vehicle may generate thermal energy. A passive thermal management solution may dissipate the thermal energy without requiring additional active components and without adding significant thermal loads to an existing thermal management system. In some examples, a passive heat exchanger may include a cold plate coupled to power electronics. In addition, the passive heat exchanger may include a condenser that is fluidly coupled to the cold plate and is positioned in an airflow path.
