What Is a Cold Plate? How It Works, Types & Applications
Introduction A cold plate is a liquid-cooled heat exchanger that mounts directly on a heat source, such as a CPU or GPU, an IGBT module, a battery cell, or a laser diode. Heat conducts into the plate’s metal base, and coolant flowing through internal channels carries it away to a CDU or heat exchanger elsewhere […]
What Is Liquid Cooling? How It Works, Types & Benefits
Liquid cooling is a way of removing heat from electronics by circulating a fluid, usually water or a water-glycol coolant, past the hottest components instead of relying on air alone. Because liquid carries far more heat per unit volume than air, it can cool high-power chips in a smaller space and with less fan noise. […]
