Cooling cold plated

Eig. 11. Liquid-cooled cold plates or heat sinks have been developed as thermal management solutions to cool components for Hquid-cooled computer systems and other electronic systems where heat removal becomes one of the important design criteria. 

Liquid-cooled cold plates perform a function analogous to that of air-cooled heat sinks. Unlike heat pipes, they may be considered active devices in that the liquid is usually forced through them by a pump. 

Indirect liquid cooling (cold plate) More efficient than thermal conduction Require pump to overcome overall pressure drop in the loop Require low thermal resistance packaging at component level... 

The pump, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, is made up of four basic components (1) one dense helium-cooled cold plate (2) two interconnected, liquid-nitrogen-cooled chevron panels (3) one gas thermometer for display of helium panel discharge gas temperature and (4) one feedthrough plate, an external bulkhead, providing connections to the helium and liquid nitrogen circuits as well as to the gas thermometer. 

The steady-state heat gain of the helium-cooled cold plate has been determined as approximately 0.1 w. This represents a net steady-state consumption of 0.25 liters of liquid helium per hour. The cool-down of the cold plate between 78° and 20 °K has been calculated to consume approximately 5 liters of liquid helium. 

The developed chromatograms are dried in a stream of warm air, immersed in dipping solution I for 1 s or sprayed homogeneously with spray solution I and heated to 105-110°C for 10 min. After cooling the plates are immersed in dipping solution II for 1 s or sprayed homogeneously with spray solution II and dried for 5 min in a stream of cold air. 

The rate of condensation on a vertical surface is controlled by the force of gravity acting on the condensed liquid film. A consideration of Eq. (11.20) shows for example that for a vertical plate the mean heat transfer rate from the plate with laminar flow in the film is proportional to gw. Attempts have therefore been made to increase condensation rates by using centrifugal forces instead of the gravitational force to drain the condensed liquid film from the cold surface [55], The simplest example of this would be condensation on the upper surface of a cooled circular plate rotating in a horizontal plane. This situation is shown in Fig. 11.23. A Nusselt-type analysis of this situation will be considered in the present section. 

Carefully remove the KPs from the incubator, if condensation is present on the lids, remove the lid and either shake off the condensation or wipe it off with a Kimwipe. Allow the KPs to cool to room temperature, followed by storage in a cold room. Prior to placing filters over the plaques place the KPs on ice (use a large smooth-bottom photo tray filled with ice) and cool the plates for about 30 min. 

The MHQ apparatus is built entirely in a low-pressure chamber to preveut jet break up of tiny free jets. The low ambient pressure, the high jet velocities, and the relatively short distance to the cryo-medium result in (adiabatic) cooling of the jet. It was determined that even though the reactants are initially at ambient (20-22 °C) temperature the effective reaction temperature was 10 2°C for the cold plate setup aud 8 0.5 °C for quenching in liquid isopentane. ... 

Heat sinks are commonly attached to the surface of the spreader to provide additional surface area for heat removal by convection. The convection may be natural air convection or forced air convection via a fan or duct. For very high power applications, it may be necessary to cool the chip directly with a heat pipe attachment, high-speed air jets, a direct heat sink attachment (cold plate), or dielectric liquid immersion.
