ABSTRACT:
A hybrid vehicle utilizes a power unit to store and convert power between a turbine alternator, flywheel and traction motor. The power unit includes a fluid cooled cold-plate assembly for cooling power transistors used to switch stored and generated power between the peripheral machines. The cold-plate assembly a first frame member having a plurality of windows therein, a plurality of transistor modules supporting power transistors are secured within the windows, the transistor modules including at least one transistor connected to a support plate, the support plate secured within the window, a base plate connected to the frame member and spaced from the frame member establishing a first cavity to allow coolant to flow between the base plate and the frame member for cooling the transistor modules.
