Abstract
The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a base plate for receiving a heat load from one or more electric components, an evaporator being in thermal contact with a surface of the base plate for transferring said heat load into a first fluid in the evaporator channels, and a condenser dissipating heat from the first fluid. In order to provide an efficient heat exchanger the heat exchanger comprises a collector space receiving first fluid from the condenser, and the collector space which is located higher than the lower ends of the evaporator channels is in fluid communication with lower ends of the evaporator channels for passing first fluid received from the condenser to the lower ends of the evaporator channels.
