Liquid Cold Plate
A liquid cold plate removes heat from a mounted component by conducting it into a plate containing coolant passages.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A cold plate is aluminum or other plate containing internal tubing through which a liquid coolant is forced, to absorb heat transferred to the plate by transistors and other components mounted on it. It is one of the most common liquid cooling solutions that make use of direct contact between the Cold Plate and the object to be cooled. This direct contact allows the heat to be efficiently conducted. Cold Plate offers many advantages over forced air cooled heat sinks such as performance, noise level and reliability.
Channel geometry and joining route affect heat transfer, pressure drop and leakage integrity. Material compatibility must cover the coolant and the entire loop.
Component contact, flow distribution and inlet temperature determine installed temperatures. The plate is one part of a pump, piping and heat-rejection system.
What turns activity into demand
Demand follows cooled positions and accepted liquid-cooling architectures. Cold plates, coolant distribution equipment and complete liquid-cooling systems have separate value.
The commercial boundary
Cold plates, coolant distribution equipment and complete liquid-cooling systems have separate value.
