Abstract

Disclosed herein is a heat dissipation system for a power module, the heat dissipation system including: first and second heat dissipation plates spaced apart from each other while facing each other, to form a cooling medium flow passage; first and second inflow lines extended to the cooling medium flow passage of the first and second heat dissipation plates, to transfer cooling media flowing therein at different flow rates or different fluxes to the cooling medium flow passage; and first and second inlets respectively connected with the first and second inflow lines to allow the cooling media to flow therein.
