In addition, the IGBT can generate heat in use, and heat needs to be dissipated timely through a radiator. The traditional radiator uses radiating fins to exchange heat with air, so that the radiating capacity is limited and the temperature-equalizing performance is poor. Due to the excellent temperature equalizing performance of the heat pipe, the heat pipe is applied to the heat dissipation of the IGBT; the mode of heating the radiating fins by the heat pipes is used for radiating and equalizing the temperature of the IGBT, and is limited by the radiating capacity of the radiating fins, and the power (or the heat productivity) of the IGBT cannot be too large. In a word, in order to timely dissipate heat of the high-power IGBT, the temperature of the IGBT cannot be controlled within a reasonable temperature range by using a passive heat dissipation method such as a heat dissipation fin or a heat dissipation fin heating pipe.
Therefore, how to protect the high-power IGBT from being influenced by the outside world, the temperature uniformity is improved, and meanwhile, the heat exchange strength between the IGBT and the environment is enhanced, which is an important technical problem to be solved in the field at present.
