Although many local shops are able to manufacture a simple tubed cold plate, a properly designed and manufactured cold plate based on application will result in significantly better performance and reliability. However, assessing the quality of a cold plate can be...
The Impact of Using Different Technologies in Liquid Cold Plate Fabrication The two biggest cost drivers in cold plate manufacturing are thermal performance requirements and annual demand, which generally thermal engineers and manufacturing engineers have little or no...
Considerations for Making a Cold Plate Specifically for Your Application An extreme performance requirement occurs when the specified performance cannot be uniformly applied across the entire cold plate or the pressure drop and/or cost of a compliant cold plate would...
Calculating the Thermal Resistance of a Liquid Cold Plate To select the best cold plate for your application, you need to know the cooling fluid flow rate, fluid inlet temperature, heat load of the devices attached to the cold plate, and the maximum desired cold plate...
Calculating the Thermal Resistance of a Heat Exchanger Figure 1: shows a typical liquid cooling loop, consisting of a cold plate (CP), pump, and heat exchanger (HX) connected by hoses or tubing. Since the components are part of a system, it is important to select them...
