An integrated inverter assembly with turbulent flow and increased heat transfer, comprising:
- an integrated coolant coupling port with a ribbed interior surface;
- a fluid connector having a chamfered lip and a fir tree circumferentially aligned with at least one O-ring on an inner body of the fluid connector;
- and
- a baffled hose configured to couple the integrated coolant coupling port with the fluid connector, wherein the baffled hose provides for compliance in a horizontal plane and a vertical plane.
A method of operating an inverter assembly to promote turbulent flow and increase heat transfer, comprising:
- ribbing an interior surface of an integrated coolant coupling port of the inverter assembly;
- chamfering a lip of a fluid connector configured to connect to the integrated coolant coupling port;
- and
- transporting coolant through a baffled hose connecting the fluid connector to the integrated coolant coupling port.
