Liquid cooling

Liquid cooling is a method that uses liquid as a heat carrier, primarily to remove high heat output in confined spaces.

The liquid cooling plates are designed to maximise the liquid’s contact with hot surfaces and provide very high thermal conductivity. Using the very latest technology, we offer a wide and innovative range of cooling plates and liquid coolers, from standard to customised solutions to meet your needs.

As electronics become more powerful, higher heat loads are generated and therefore require more efficient cooling. For many of these applications, traditional air cooling is now insufficient, or takes up too much space. Liquid-cooled solutions are becoming increasingly popular, as they have the capacity for higher heat transfer and flexibility as regards their design. This makes smaller, higher performing cooling solutions possible.

A liquid cooling system is a hydraulic circuit typically consisting of a cooling plate adjacent to the heat source, a pump that circulates the liquid through the system and a heat exchanger that ejects the heat absorbed by the liquid from the device.

Liquid cooling plates can usually be made much smaller than e.g. a heat sink designed to be used in an air-cooled solution for the same application. In addition, multiple cooling plates can be used with the same pump and heat exchanger, allowing the cooling of multiple units from a single cooling device.

In addition to more efficient cooling, liquid systems also have considerable flexibility as regards their design. Liquid cooling plates come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and designs. Liquid cooling allows heat to be transferred from the heat source and dispensed remotely. It also provides an additional level of control over the cooling system, as the inlet temperature to the cooling plate and the flow rate can easily be adjusted.
