Cold Plate Liquid Cooling

Liquid Cooled Cold Plates for High-Performance Computing

High-performance computing technology is possible today thanks in large part to the innovative thermal engineers who design, develop and implement various systems to cool computing processors. One of the most widely used thermal management methods is cold plate liquid cooling where there is direct contact between a cold plate and the element being cooled.

How Do Liquid Cooled Cold Plates Work?

Cold plates are responsible for transferring heat from surfaces with high heat loads to the fluid used within the liquid cooling system. These cold plates dissipate the heat generated by electronic components — or any other surfaces with high heat loads — to the coolant that flows through a remote heat exchanger. Heat is then transferred into either an ambient or another liquid in a secondary cooling system.

What Makes Up a Cold Plate System?

A cold plate liquid cooling system consists of a pump, heat exchanger, connective tubing, quick disconnect couplings (QDs) and cold plates — replacing heat sinks and fans. The cold plate, usually made of metal, is made up of internal tubing where a liquid coolant absorbs heat transferred to the plate by transistors and other mounted components. The variables involved in determining the heat transfer capability of a cold plate depend on: 

  • available surface area in the flow paths  
  • coolant selection
  • flow rate of the liquid
  • material used to make the cold plate 

Cold Plate Liquid Cooling Use Cases

Collaborate with CPC’s Liquid Cooling Experts

Like all liquid cooling systems, there are many factors to consider when determining how to optimize the thermal management in electronic systems or on servers and server racks. Cold plate liquid cooling requires knowledge and expertise in thermal management and fluid handling. Collaborating with thermal engineers around the world, CPC understands the challenges and requirements of cold plate liquid cooling. 

We are familiar with the materials and chemistry that thermal management professionals design for, including applicable coolants and how they interact — or don't — with the other components or subcomponents within a system.

Quick Disconnects Designed for Cold Plate Liquid Cooling

CPC’s Everis® quick disconnect couplings and connectors are designed with cold plate liquid cooling systems in mind. They’re efficient, dry break non-spill couplings that offer easy one-handed connection and disconnection.

With quick disconnects needed at each manifold — as well as at every server blade — you can imagine the volume and criticality of quick connections as a system component. When coolant needs to flow in order to cool the system, you can trust CPC Everis QD couplings to perform as designed.
