Abstract
The present disclosure relates to electrical component heat dissipation and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for dissipating heat from a power control module. In one embodiment the invention is a power control module having a housing and an electrical connection. A thermally conductive material is placed between the power control module and a surface of an evaporator core with a first side of the thermally conductive material in contact with the power control module and a second side in contact with the surface of the evaporator core. The thermally conductive material conducts heat from the power control module to the surface of the evaporator core.
