I haven't gotten around to testing the cooling system on Paul's controller - and I have no idea if I have a large enough pump, or radiator, or if the number of passes of glycol across the IGBTs is sufficient.

So far I'm just installing what I have readily available.
I havnt actually tested it yet, but the water blockls are 5.5x12 with a 1/4" copper channel for the cooling circuit. These are plumbed in parallel. The rest of the water block is aluminum.

The copper pipes dont remove heat just from the IGBT's but more so the aluminum.
