20220039292 · 2022-02-03 ·

A sub-module cooling device of a power transmission system is proposed. Sub-modules may be arranged in a row on each of multiple layers of a frame. Heat generated by the sub-modules may be transferred to a duct through heat pipes, and the heat transferred through the heat pipes may be discharged to the outside while air coming out from an air conditioner passes through the duct. When the heat generated by the sub-modules is discharged in this manner, a cooling fan may not be required to be installed in each of the sub-modules. Air may be flown by the operation of the air conditioner and may absorb the heat generated by the sub-modules and discharge the heat to the outside.
