Abstract
A cooling device for a power module having an electronic module disposed on a base plate via a substrate is disclosed. The cooling device includes a heat sink plate having at least one cooling segment. The cooling segment includes an inlet plenum for entry of a cooling medium, a plurality of inlet manifold channels, a plurality of outlet manifold channels, and an outlet plenum. The plurality of inlet manifold channels are coupled orthogonally to the inlet plenum for receiving the cooling medium from the inlet plenum. The plurality of outlet manifold channels are disposed parallel to the inlet manifold channels. The outlet plenum is coupled orthogonally to the plurality of outlet manifold channels for exhaust of the cooling medium. A plurality of millichannels are disposed in the base plate orthogonally to the inlet and the outlet manifold channels. The plurality of milli channels direct the cooling medium from the plurality of inlet manifold channels to the plurality of outlet manifold channels.
