Abstract
A power inverter includes a plurality of power modules stacked in an array. A plurality of coolant chambers are interleaved with the modules. Each of the chambers includes an inlet and an outlet interconnected by a coolant path configured to circulate coolant within the chamber. Fins project into the coolant path and are configured to alter shape based on a temperature of the coolant to alter a turbulence associated with the coolant.
