Effect of temperature on the performance of Liquid Cold plate

The performance of Liquid Cold plate is affected by many factors, among which temperature is a key variable. The increase in temperature will lead to the annual decrease of coolant, thereby reducing flow resistance and improving cooling efficiency. However, too high temperature may also cause the evaporation of coolant, affecting the stability of the cooling system. In addition, the thermal expansion of Liquid Cold plate materials will also affect its structural stability and heat dissipation performance due to temperature changes.

Liquid Cold plate

Through experimental research, we can have a deeper understanding of the specific impact of temperature on the performance of Liquid Cold plate. For example, studies have shown that there is a linear relationship between the inlet temperature of the coolant and the maximum and minimum temperatures of the battery module. Changes in the inlet mass flow rate of the coolant not only affect the maximum temperature of the battery module, but also cause changes in the temperature difference between modules.

In order to enable Liquid Cold plate to exert its maximum working efficiency at different temperatures and use this working efficiency for effective and reasonable practical applications, a variety of design optimization measures can be taken. We can change the flow channel structure, such as using a parallel flow channel structure. The biggest advantage of this structure is that it can reduce energy consumption while keeping the average body temperature of the battery low. By adding thermal conductive materials such as graphite plates between the battery and the cooling contact surface, the uniformity of the battery temperature field can be optimized and the maximum temperature difference can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the working efficiency of the Liquid Cold plate at different temperatures.

Liquid Cold Plate Heat Dissipation Performance Analysis

Aluminum vapor chamber

High-efficiency two-phase heat spreaders with lightweight aluminum construction. Designed for GPU, CPU, IGBT & power electronics and energy storage systems. Features: ultra-thin profile, high thermal conductivity, customizable size and shape.

Pulsating Heat Pipe (PHP)

Pulsating Heat Pipe (PHP, or Oscillating Heat Pipe) is advanced thermal management tech for high-power electronics, delivering high-efficiency, reliable heat sinks for aerospace, satellites, military equipment and VPX cooling chassis. Different from conventional heat pipes, PHP adopts a simple closed capillary loop charged with working fluid. Driven by fluid phase change, internal oscillation transfers heat rapidly with low flow resistance, requiring no pumps or moving components. Our optimized PHP heat sinks fit compact, mission-critical systems. Lightweight and miniaturized, they run stably and prolong device service life under extreme conditions such as microgravity and severe military environments. Core merits include outstanding heat conductivity, quick thermal response, robust environmental adaptability, low upkeep and broad operating temperature range.

Liquid Cooling Plate (LCP)

Liquid cold plates capture heat through the contact surface and remove heat via precision-engineered internal flow channels. Equipped with dedicated inlet and outlet ports, the liquid cold plate connects to external coolant pumps and cooling loop systems through tubing. The cooling liquid circulates continuously within the internal channel structure, rapidly and efficiently transferring heat away from heat sources.Our liquid cold plates are widely adopted for thermal management and heat dissipation in BESS energy storage systems, EV battery packs, high-power IGBT modules, industrial CPUs, GPUs and other high-power heat-generating equipment.

3DVC Cooler

The 3DVC cooler is developed based on conventional copper vapor chambers and copper heat pipes. It adopts an intercommunicated layout to form an integrated 3D vacuum cavity, with cooling fins welded between individual heat pipe units.
