LIQUID COOLING Liquid Cold Plates For High-Performance Components & Systems ................................................ 116–117 Exposed Tube Liquid Cold Plates .................................... 118–119 Full Buried Tube Liquid Cold Plates ................................ 120–122 Liquid cooling is a natural evolution beyond air cooling where either due to thermal requirements or footprint requirements, the desired performance can no longer be economically met by air cooling.  There are many ways to accomplish liquid cooling, but the most common method is to have a plate with a flow path that moves liquid under the devices. After the heat is absorbed into the liquid, it is taken out of the plate and into the larger system. While water or water/glycol are the most common fluids used in liquid cooling, gasoline, oil, and refrigerant are other fluids that can be utilized.  There are lots of ways to construct a cold plate and the methods can be driven by the level of performance needed, the materials needed or the environmental requirements. One construction method is to use a series of cross drilled holes in a plate. The holes intersect in the plate to determine the flow pattern and unneeded patterns are plugged. This construction method can be cost effective, but the pattern is limited to straight lines.  Another method is to embed a tube in a plate by machining a groove in the plate. The tube can either be placed toward the top surface of the plate to provide better cooling to devices mounted on that surface, or it can be embedded further into the plate so that it cools devices mounted on both sides of the plate. This option provides greater flexibility, but the thermal performance is limited because of the surface area of the tube perimeter. To get more performance, extended surface area in contact with the fluid is required and this to form some flow passages and then a cover is assembled to capture the flow. The extended surface area can be machined in place or installed by use of a piece of folded fin. The cover can be flat or be another machined plate. The method of assembly of the two parts can be done by gasket/screw, glue/screw, brazing, or welding and is dependent on the required performance and the requirements of the environment. LIQUID COOLING leads to machined cold plates. The cold plate is constructed of a plate that has been machined LIQUID COOLING LIQUID COOLING LIQUID COLD PLATES FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPONENTS & SYSTEMS 180-10 & 180-11 SERIES Standard P/N 180-10-6C 180-10-12C 180-10-24C 180-11-6C 180-11-12C 180-11-24C LIQUID COLD PLATES FOR RECTIFIERS AND POWER DIODES Cold Plate Body Nominal Dimensions Length “A” Width Thickness Channel Width in.

Direct contact reduces the number of thermal interfaces between device and fluid thus increasing performance for the application.

Another key feature of the fully buried tube is that it is not exposed to the outside environment. Some engineers prefer the epoxy layer above the tube to protect the tube from leakage.
