Paper deal about testing of device with heat pipes and about research alternative possible applications of heat pipes and potential improvements in purpose effective heat sink from power switches of device. This device is used in various static and moveable applications. Testing device is part of control unit in rail vehicle. The amount of heat produced by power switches depend from working conditions of static converter. Great impact on heat sink has, how as season also this if the vehicle is moving or don't moving. If the vehicle is moving the heat transfer form energy converter to surrounding is caused by forced convection of air flow around device. But the critical conditions occur if the vehicle doesn't move, because the application of this cooling device is based on natural convection. The study deal solution of the problem heat transfer from energy converter to surrounding by natural convection.
