Product catalog summary

Overview of Liquid Cold Plates (LCP) for Electronic Systems
Liquid Cold Plates (LCP) are designed to efficiently extract heat from multiple electronic components within complex systems. They are particularly beneficial for applications with high heat density per volume, such as servers, data centers, and automotive motor drives, where they can manage up to 3 kW of heat per liter.

Applications and Advantages of Liquid Cooling
Liquid cooling is preferred for managing the heat loads of high-power electronics in demanding applications, including lasers, power generation, medical equipment, transportation, and military electronics. It offers superior performance compared to air-cooled solutions.

High Power Custom Solutions
Aavid Thermalloy provides custom solutions for high power density applications, capable of handling heat flux up to 250 W/cm². These solutions include:

AavFin: Offset fin structures that increase surface area for enhanced thermal transfer.
Tube Cold Plates: Tubes mechanically locked into the base plate with thermal epoxy for improved performance.
Hi-Contact™ Cold Plates: Tubes in direct contact with the device base plate, featuring patented mechanical attachment and thermal epoxy for enhanced performance.

Low to Medium Power Solutions
For low to medium power applications, Aavid Thermalloy offers both standard and custom solutions:

AavChannel: Simple milled channels in the base plate with cooling pockets tailored to customer needs.
AavBlister Cold Plates: Stamped channels in the cover for cost reduction in high volume applications, with internal offset fin structures for enhanced performance.

Brazed LCP Solutions
Aavid Thermalloy's brazed LCP solutions utilize Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) for cost-effective manufacturing. For applications requiring pure or de-ionized water, Vacuum Brazed products are available, as well as solutions with copper or stainless steel tubes.
