Patent attributes
A power conversion apparatus includes a first power converter, second power converter, a case, and partitioning portion. The first power converter performs power conversion. The second power converter performs power conversion. The case houses the first power converter and the second power converter. The partitioning portion partitions the first power converter and the second power converter housed in the case, and forms a coolant flow passage through which a coolant flows. The first power converter includes a first heat-generating component. The second power converter includes a second heat-generating component. The first heat-generating component and the second heat-generating component are each joined to the partitioning portion at a position at which the first heat-generating component and the second heat-generating component do not overlap each other in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to a coolant flow direction of the coolant flow passage.
