Power electronic cooling system and method

The invention provides a power electronic cooling system and method. Thermal monitoring and analysis of conditions in a power electronic system includes sensing thermal parameters of interest, such as temperature and humidity, in a housing containing power electronic components. The component is cooled by flowing liquid coolant from the chiller through a chiller plate associated with the power electronic component. Air is circulated through the housing for discharging heat from the cooler plates. Based on the sensed parameters, factors such as the relative humidity and dew point of the cooling air may be calculated and evaluated to determine the likelihood of condensation. Alarms, notifications, or recommendations may be output for adjusting the chiller to avoid condensation. The system may also provide an assessment of installation errors, and degradation of performance over time. 本公开内容提供了一种电力电子冷却系统及方法。对电力电子系统中的状况的热监测和分析包括感测容纳有电力电子部件的壳体中的感兴趣的热参数，例如，温度和湿度。通过使来自冷却器的液体冷却剂流经过与电力电子部件相关联的冷却器板来冷却部件。空气循环经过壳体，用于从冷却器板
