Liquid Cold Plates

Overview of Liquid Cooling Technology

In today's most demanding applications, liquid cooling has become the choice of designers striving to manage the rising heat loads of high power electronics. Whether it's lasers, power generation and conditioning, medical equipment, transportation or military electronics, liquid cold plates offer performance advantages over air cooled solutions in high watt density applications.

Aavid offers the widest most innovative line of cold plate products. From standard to fully customized solutions, Aavid is the expert in liquid cooling.

Aavid Standard Cold Plates use three different technologies to solve application thermal problems. Each standard technology cold plate can be custom configured for length, width and fluid path to meet specific application requirements.

Tube Cold Plates
Tube cold plate styles include standard and patented Hi-Contact™ designs suitable for a variety of power electronic applications. The products feature copper or stainless steel tubing mechanically interlocked into aluminum plates. These cost effective cold plates are designed specifically for low to medium power density applications.
Blister Cold Plates
Blister cold plate designs are suitable for applications that require a robust mechanical plate for module mounting. The products feature CAB brazed construction and the ability to mount devices anywhere on the non blister side of the plate. These cost effective cold plates are designed specifically for low to medium power density applications.
Ultra High Performance Extended Surface Cold Plates
Extended surface cold plates use the latest meso channel designs to offer increased performance over conventional cold plate technologies. Aavid cold plates feature a lower pressure drop than competitors plates. These cold plates are ideal for effectively cooling the concentrated heat loads of the latest high density IGBT modules.
