Are liquid cold plates a good choice for thermal management systems?

Liquid cold plates offer several advantages for thermal management systems, including the enhanced performance and lifespan of vital components, such as batteries. Overheating or excessive cooling can place unnecessary stress on these components. With strategic implementation, KUS cold plates help to avoid this.

What are cold plates?

Cold plates, also called liquid cooling plates or liquid cold plates, are highly engineered components designed for optimal thermal regulation of heat sources. These plates are made from metals with high thermal conductivity, like aluminum or copper, and are in direct contact with the heat sources that require cooling.

What is a cold plate for EV inverter cooling?

Cold plate custom designed for compact, lighter weight EV inverter cooling. Choosing the proper product construction and manufacturing process is more complex due to the wide range of design options in the industry.

Can a hot silicon plate be used as a liquid cooling system?

Therefore, Wang et al.140 have developed a new liquid cooling strategy based on the hot silicon plate. The excellent thermal conductivity of the silicon plate, combined with the good cooling effect of water, has formed a feasible and effective composite liquid cooling system in long-cycle tests.

Can microchannel cooling plates be used to cool lithium-ion batteries?

In addition to being combined with traditional cooling plates, recent research has found that coupling microchannel cooling plates with PCM is also an effective solution to improve the cooling properties of lithium-ion batteries.

Why do EVs need liquid cold plates?

The specialty vehicle power demand required new, larger battery pack designs for each EV model which resulted in high heat loads. To ensure that the larger battery packs remained cool enough for operation throughout the vehicle’s lifespan, the customer needed custom liquid cold plates (LCPs) designed specifically for this application.
