Abstract

The exemplary embodiments disclosed herein provide a heat exchanger assembly for cooling power module bricks, having a plurality of heat exchanger layers where a top layer is in conductive thermal communication with the power module brick. A series of metallic plates are preferably positioned within each heat exchanger layer and are preferably aligned with the power module brick. A circulating fan may be positioned to force circulating gas across the power module brick and through the heat exchanger. An external air fan may be positioned to force external air through the heat exchanger. Pass through junctions may be positioned near edges of the heat exchanger to permit the circulating gas to cross paths with the external air without allowing the two gas flows to mix with one another.
