Outline and Goals<br />
• Vaporizable dielectric fluid (<strong>VDF</strong>) concept:<br />
• Explain how a <strong>VDF</strong>-based cooling system operates;<br />
• Illustrate air-cooled heat sinks and liquid cold plate designs developed.<br />
• Show comparative test results for three cooling solutions:<br />
• Traditional forced-air cooling (as used in production drive systems)<br />
• Water/ethylene glycol and traditional liquid cooling<br />
• <strong>VDF</strong>-based liquid cold plates and cooling system<br />
• List positive and negative attributes of each system solution<br />
• Show test data to indicate <strong>VDF</strong> cooling system technical attributes.<br />
• Demonstrate a complete proof-of-concept 750kW/1000HP inverter design utilizing a<br />
<strong>VDF</strong> cooling system.<br />
