- the cooling device according to claim 1 has the advantage that it can be attached in a simple manner to a flat surface of a carrier body that does not have a structure of a plurality of cooling fluid channels distributed over the entire carrier body, but advantageously only one cooling fluid channel per cooling fluid opening of the cooling device for supplying or discharging the cooling fluid to or from this cooling fluid opening, and there is also the particular advantage that this cooling fluid opening and this cooling fluid channel during the process of attaching the cooling device to the carrier body easily and in the simplest way simply by means of a common O-ring can be sealed against leakage of cooling fluid to the environment.
- the cooling fluid can accordingly advantageously be supplied to or derived from the cooling device through a single cooling fluid channel in the carrier body of the assigned cooling fluid opening, and the production of such a channel is simple.

- Components that are not to be cooled for example busbars that become less warm, can advantageously be fastened on the one flat surface above the coolant-free center of the hollow body.
- the cooling fluid guide device requires at least one deflecting surface which is arranged in the vicinity of a cooling fluid opening and which deflects the cooling fluid supplied through this cooling fluid opening and a direct flow of the supplied cooling fluid from this cooling fluid opening to the other cooling fluid opening, that is to say prevented by the center between the two cooling fluid openings.

- This method simply consists in that the layer of the good heat-conducting and electrically insulating material is firmly connected to the hollow body at elevated temperature and the layer and hollow body are then cooled. When it cools down, the material of the hollow body contracts more than the material of the electrically insulating layer and, on account of this “bimetal effect”, automatically generates it elastically deformable concave other flat surface of the hollow body.

- the hollow body 10 and the layer 18 bond firmly to one another at a still high temperature.
- the hollow body 10 contracts more than the layer 18 firmly connected to it, so that after cooling the other flat-side surface 102 of the hollow body is concavely curved by itself and can be elastically deformed.
- the layer 18 Due to the tension prevailing between the electrically insulating layer 18 and the hollow body 10 during the subsequent attachment to the carrier body 4, there is a certain tendency for the layer 18 to become detached from the hollow body 10. This can be reduced if the layer 18 consists of the highly thermally conductive and electrically insulating material, as indicated in Figure 18, is divided into separate sections 18 '.
- the hollow body 10 made of copper has a length of approximately 100 mm, a width of approximately 60 mm, a thickness of about 3.5 mm and is formed from a stack of copper layers.

- the power semiconductor components 20 and 20 ′ attached to the electrically insulating layer 18 of the cooling device are a plan view of the surface 180 of this layer 18 next to the web 60 along the two long sides 62 of the web 60 (see FIG. 4 ) are arranged one after the other and are located above the cooling fluid 3 flowing in the hollow body 10 along these two longitudinal sides 62.
- each longitudinal side 62 of the web 60 for example, a row of six power semiconductor components 20, 20 'is arranged, which are arranged in succession in the flow direction of the cooling fluid 3 flowing along the longitudinal sides 62 (see FIG. 4).
- Two first power semiconductor components 20 in each row are, for example, IGBTs
- two power semiconductor components 20 'following them are, for example, diodes
- two power semiconductor components 20 following these diodes 20' are again IGBTs.
- the diodes 20 ' produce more heat during operation than the IGBTs 20, and therefore, for reasons of an optimal cooling effect by the cooling device 1, the two diodes 20' are arranged in each row between the two pairs of IGBTs 20.
- the IGBTs 20 and diodes 20 are electrically connected in a certain manner to current bars 21 arranged on the electrically insulating layer 18.
- a single bus bar 21 can be arranged above the web 60, or two or more stacked and electrically insulated bus bars 21 can be arranged above the web 60, and / or other bus bars 21 can be arranged, for example, between the layer 18 and the power semiconductor components 20 , 20 'individually or also stacked one above the other and arranged electrically insulated from one another on the electrically insulating layer 18.
- the busbars 21 and other electrical lines can be produced by structuring one or more layers of electrically conductive material on the electrically insulating layer 18.
- pantographs for the busbars 21 are designated by 22.
- FIG. 7 shows how a cooling device 1 or a module 1 ′ with a carrier body 4 forms an arrangement 1 ′′ out of the cooling device 1 and out of the carrier body 4 or respectively an arrangement 1 ′′ is formed from the module 1 ′ and the carrier body 4.
- the carrier body 4 which is only shown in fragments, is designed in such a way that it has a flat surface 41, in which, for each cooling fluid opening 11 in the concavely curved other flat-side surface 102 of the hollow body 10 of the cooling device 1, an orifice 401 associated with this cooling fluid opening 11 is formed in a carrier body 4
