Abstract
A dispenser includes: a tank; an inlet pipe connected to the tank and to supply liquid to the tank; a heater for heating liquid in the tank; an inverter printed circuit board for controlling the operation of the heater; a heat sink formed of a metal or other heat conductive material, and having a cavity; and a power semiconductor element electrically connected to the inverter printed circuit board to control power to the heater, and fixed to the heat sink to heat-exchange with liquid flowing in the cavity. The cavity of the heat sink may receive a section of the inlet pipe or may form a flow path to receive the fluid from the inlet pipe.
