| 1. A semiconductor device including a cooling system for controlling temperature of a refrigerant through a heating section
and a radiator, said semiconductor device being connected to and cooled by said cooling system,
wherein a variation width (ΔT1) of temperature controlled by said cooling system through said heating section and said radiator is smaller than a temperature
variation (ΔT2) of the refrigerant caused by variations in operating conditions of said semiconductor device (ΔT1<ΔT2); and
further comprising suppression means provided to cover an outer periphery of said semiconductor device and suppressing transmission
of heat from an ambient atmosphere to said semiconductor device.
