Cold plate, with brazed corrugated fin

SUMITOMO PRECISION PRODUCTS's cold plate is made by our own technology of plate-fin structure. Due to high density corrugated fins by press forming are brazed inside liquid passage, significant performance (i.e. low heat resistance) is achieved.

Benefit of our Cold plate

By SUMITOMO PRECISION PRODUCTS's cold plate, you can reduce your initial cost and maintenance cost within total system.
Due to high density corrugated fins by press forming are brazed inside liquid passage, comparing to extrusion or serpentine single channel type, lower heat resistance is achieved. (Rθ≦5 - 2K/kW) If cold plate has higher thermal performance (i.e. low heat resistance), circulated fluid temperature can be higher. It makes easier to release heat to ambient, and it means your radiators, fans, chiller, etc. can be smaller.

Radiator and fan can be downsized by higher performance of cold plate. Our product contributes to lower cost, and should read compactness in total cooling system.

2 phase cooler "SIPHOREX®"

"SIPHOREX®" is air cooling solution with 2 phase phenomenon, which has better performance than classical heat sink or heat pipe cooler. Refrigerant is enclosed inside of brazed plate-fin heat exchanger and components are cooled by principal of thermo-siphon. This is a medium solution between liquid cooling and air cooling for electronic device cooling. It has cooling capacity similar to liquid cooling, but it still result in simple system configuration like air cooling.

Structure

Features of "SIPHOREX®"
・Compact, Lightweight
Plate-fin structured radiation (condensation) part enables compact, lightweight cooling system.
・ΔT between air and modules can be smaller than air cooling
Since boiling part is filled with uniform temperature liquid, In case heat from modules are (e.g. IGBTs) the same; -> Temperature distribution on every component becomes almost uniform. Even though in case heat from each modules are different; -> Temperature distribution on cooling surface and ΔT between air and modules become much smaller than heat sink.
・Devices with "high heat density" or "heat spot" can be cooled
・Flexibility in design

SIPHOREX® achieves more than half Rθ.

Main benefits of "SIPHOREX®"
・If you are using or considering air cooling...
  • Heat form modules can be increased.
  • ΔT between air and modules can be smaller.
  • Lower air flow is required, and it results in lower blower energy consumption and lower noise.
・If you are using or considering liquid cooling...
  • No pump, No piping, simple system configuration
  • No risk of water leakage.
  • Easier maintenance.

About brazing sheet....
イメージ:ブレージングシートについて

In case of Aluminum, filler metal is cladded onto and integrated with the brazing sheet .Filler metal has lower melting point than core material. By heating stacked core to temperature that do not melt core material but melts filler metal, the core is bonded.

Embedded heat pipe
イメージ:ヒートパイプ内蔵型ヒートシンク

Embedded heat pipe in base plate can improve temperature distribution, and heat sink can be compact and light weight.
