When convection air cooling isn’t capable of removing the heat load necessary to keep electronics under their safe maximum operating temperature, single-phase liquid cooling solutions offer a high level of performance. Liquid-cooled, cold plates are commonly used for high-heat flux or high-power electronics cooling applications.Get more news about water cool plate brand,you can vist our website!

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.

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. ACT 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:

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

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.

Envelope material and fluid compatibility are crucial considerations when designing a cold plate. The team at ACT has expertise in stable compatible solutions.

Once the design has been completed, it can be prototyped and manufactured in our IS0 9001:2008 and AS9100:2009 quality certified manufacturing facility. You can be confident of the very best design and manufacturing practices from ACT.

ACT 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 a minimal pressure drop penalty. In particular, ACT’s R&D efforts in this area have been on the following advanced technologies for a diverse range of applications, including cooling of power electronics and computer microprocessors.

The features of this LED water cooling plate are:

  1. The highest cost performance of water cooling plate ,

  2. Low cost: The water cooling plate basically no mold expense is generated, and there is no limit on production volume;

  3. High reliability: the channel is made of seamless heat pipe bent and inserted into the substrate groove. As long as the size control is reasonable, there is basically no risk of liquid leakage, and it can withstand pressure above 6kg/cm2;

  4. Heating elements can be installed on both sides to minimize the structure;

  5. Water cooling plate can be inserted into the copper pipe at the same time compressed, and do milling surface processing, so that the surface of the copper pipe exposed plane and substrate in the same plane, to achieve direct contact with heating elements and copper pipe, the heat quickly direct away.
