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...
Thermal interface material (TIM) is a crucial part of any thermal management solution. Since it’s physically a small portion of most applications, it’s an easy component to overlook. But thermal interface material can make or break a device and its...
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...
Key Factors that Determine the Cost of Fabricating Heat Exchangers Manufacturing costs can be greatly impacted by demand, but this is not necessarily within the thermal or design engineers’ control. However, you can reduce costs by understanding how core and...
