Customized Liquid Cold Plate Water Cooling Plate Heat Sink For Industry Equipment

Quick Detail

WHAT IS A LIQUID COLD PLATE?

A cold plate is responsible for taking the heat from the device(s) and transferring it to a single-phase liquid coolant, circulating through internal channels of the plate and subsequently rejecting it downstream to a radiator. There are several thermal/mechanical advantages of a cold plate solution. . 

Note

Liquid heat sinks are also called water-cooled radiators and liquid-cooled radiators. They are generally made of aluminum and used to dissipate heat. They are mainly used in high-power devices, such as servers, inverters, inverters, APF, SVG, IGBTs, etc., remember to have A company called Fodor Radiator Factory specializes in aluminum radiators, water-cooling plates, etc. This will install the heating element on the water-cooling plate to dissipate heat, and the internal liquid is specially designated.

ACT PROVIDES SYSTEM-LEVEL PUMPED LIQUID COOLING THERMAL SOLUTIONS

Fodor designs and provides system-level thermal solutions. Cold plates used in conjunction with a pump, heat exchanger, heat sink, and liquid lines, comprise a typical pumped liquid cooling loop. Pumped liquid cooling systems have been used in numerous applications including automotive engine cooling, avionics thermal control and nuclear reactor cooling. In many cases, reservoirs and valves are used to control the fluid volume and flow rate. The pump circulates the fluid in the loop, which picks up the heat in the cold plate and dissipates the heat through the heat exchanger.

Our team of thermal experts has been developing advanced liquid cooling technologies that are capable of addressing complex issues with conventional liquid cooling technologies. The goal of our efforts is to advance the liquid cooling technologies to be able to cool very high-heat fluxes with minimal pressure drop penalty. In particular, Fodor’s R&D efforts in this area of advanced technologies for a diverse range of applications including, cooling of high-power, power electronics and computer microprocessors or data center cooling.

In addition to understanding traditional fluid/material compatibility, Fodor has developed several coatings to increase corrosion resistance in certain materials.

From design to manufacturing, component or system-level, Fodor’s Thermal Experts provide custom solutions from a proven partner. If you’d like more information about our custom cold plate design and manufacturing process, contact us!

What parameters should be provided in the thermal design of the water-cooled plate?

When designing the heat dissipation of the water-cooling plate, it is necessary to provide the model of the water-cooling plate (that is, the size of the water-cooling plate), the drilling position of the water-cooling plate, the target to be achieved (including temperature difference, water pressure difference, etc.), the parameters of the joint, the power of the heat source, and Calorific value and other data

COLD PLATE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT

When designing a cold plate there are several challenges to overcome in order to create an optimal design. In many cases, there are trade-offs between design options.Fodor has significant experience in meeting thermal needs while minimizing operating and manufacturing costs. Below are several key performance features we will analyze as part of the design:

1. Pressure drop
2. Liquid flow path
3. Flow balancing
4. Material compatibility
5. Fluid Stability
6. Temperature Uniformity
7. Maximum Temperature
8. Weight / Size

LIQUID COLD PLATE FLOW OPTIONS

There are several types of cold plate systems for consideration. Fodor will analyze the design requirements and recommend the proper type of cold plate for your application. Below are several of our flow options:

Serpentine Tube

• Manifold Tube
• Mini Channel
• Micro Channel

Each type of system configuration has performance trade-offs. For instance, a microchannel design increases surface area for heat transfer, however, with certain flow rates, it could cause flow instability and large pressure drops.
