Vortex LCP ULTRA HIGH Performance RoHS Compliant Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation 1964-2014 VORTEX LCP Aavid Vortex LCP cold plates (VLCP) are designed for engineers looking to cool the latest high performance Diodes. VLCP maximize the surface area in contact with the cooling fluid by using particular patented flow paths thereby increasing thermal transfer performance. The cold plate components are vacuum brazed together to form leak free joints. Aavid VLCP cold plates offer superior thermal performance with a lower pressure drop than other cold plates resulting in less costly fluid circulation systems and space saving. FEATURES: • Excellent thermal performance with lower pressure drop than other designs saves on system costs. Temperature distribution on cooled sides of a typical application • Inlet flow is spread equally between the two component surfaces. • Channels can be configured to put the fluid path where needed for the best thermal performance. • Uniformity between temperature distribution of the top and bottom component surfaces. • Improved component life expectancy and stability during operation. • Suitable for non symmetrical diode dimensions. • Uniformity of temperature distribution on component surfaces improve performance and life.
