Abstract
The application relates to a charging apparatus for inductively charging a separate, mobile apparatus. The charging apparatus includes a cooling system which is configured to enable additional phase change cooling of the mobile apparatus during inductive charging. The charging apparatus includes a flow path for providing a flow path for a phase-change cooling fluid to an interface with the mobile apparatus. The flow path enables cooling of, at least part of, the mobile apparatus when the mobile apparatus is being inductively charged by the charging apparatus. The flow path also includes wick structures that enable the phase-change fluid to be transported via capillary action.
