Energy storage liquid cold plate weight

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 is a liquid cold plate?

A Liquid Cold Plate (LCP) is responsible for efficiently transferring heat from surfaces with high heat loads to the fluid used within a liquid cooling system. The performance of the liquid cold plate is critical in defining the overall effectiveness of a liquid system. Reliable, 100% leak tested cold plates produced for decades.

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 are the parameters used to describe the performance of cold plate?

A parameter is used to describe the overall performance of the cold plate. Different liquid cooling battery thermal management systems are designed and compared. The effects of structural design and operating parameters on thermal performance are investigated.

What are the requirements for liquid cold plates?

There are generally four key requirements for liquid cold plates: 1) Large cooling power; 2) High reliability, ensuring a sealed cold plate; 3) Precise heat dissipation design to avoid excessive temperature differences in the system;

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.
