We’ve covered the topic of cold plates in some other places here on ATS’s blog. Back in February we posted an article from our QPedia Thermal Engineering Archives on “Closed Loop Liquid Cooling for Electronics” in which we covered the topic on an introductory basis. Just today we posted on some exciting research under the title, “Understanding how fluid boils in tiny microchannels gives engineers another tool to cool high-power electronics“. So what about microchannels and macrochannels? What exactly are they and what are their differences?
Our thermal engineering lab published a paper on this topic of microchannel and macrochannel cold plates. It’s a great companion read with the topic of boiling fluid for cold plates we’ve posted here already. You can get your own copy to read by clicking to: “The Thermal Performance of Microchannel and Macrochannel Cold Plates“.
