In a liquid cooling system, cold plates are in charge of transferring heat from high-heat load surfaces to the fluid used. To select the best liquid cooling solution for your application, you must determine the cooling fluid flow rate, fluid inlet temperature, the heat load of the devices attached to the cold plate, and maximum desired cold plate surface temperature Tmax. From these values, you can calculate the cold plate's maximum allowable thermal resistance.

Milpower Source designs and manufactures liquid-cooled cold plates for ground, naval, and airborne military applications, such as power supplies, communication products, and more. We offer off-the-shelf solutions, with relatively short lead times. These products can also be modified to meet a customer’s specific requirements, provided the modification can be implemented on an existing design, and fully customized designs, along with thermal/ flow analyses, to deliver an optimized solution according to customer requirements. Configurations created for specific requirements will be assigned a new variant part number.
