A heat pipe assembly includes walls having porous wick linings, an insulating layer coupled with at least one of the walls, and an interior chamber sealed by the walls. The linings hold a liquid phaseof a working fluid in the interior chamber. The insulating layer is directly against a conductive component of an electromagnetic power conversion device such that heat from the conductive componentvaporizes the working fluid in the porous wick lining of the at least one wall and the working fluid condenses at or within the porous wick lining of at least one other wall to cool the conductive component of the electromagnetic power conversion device. The assembly can be placed in direct contact with the device while the device is operating and/or experiencing time-varying magnetic fields thatcause the device to operate. 一种热管组件包括具有多孔芯衬里的壁，与壁中的至少一个联接的绝缘层，以及通过壁密封的内腔室。衬里保持内腔室中的工作流体的液相。绝缘层直接抵靠电磁功率转换设备的传导部件，使得来自传导部件的热量使至少一个壁的多孔芯衬里中的工作流体汽化，并且工作流体在至少一个其他壁的多孔芯衬里处或内冷凝，以冷却电磁功率转换设备的传导部件。组件可以放置成，在设备运作和/或经受导致设备运作的时变磁场的同时，与设备直接接触
