A refrigeration system or heat pump is provided that includes: a compressor, a condenser, a liquid line, an expansion device, an evaporator, and a suction line to the compressor. A power converter or module supplies electrical power. A first thermal coupling is formed between a first portion of a heat pipe and the power converter module. A second thermal coupling is formed between a second portion of the heat pipe and a component of the refrigeration system or heat pump. The heat pipe receives heat from the power converter or module at the first portion, transfer the heat from the first portion to the second portion and transfer the heat from the second portion to the component of the refrigeration system or heat pump so as to cool the power converter or module.
