Cold Plate Design Explained: Examples and Optimization

Cold plates are our little friends, giving a big help in transferring energy from thermal sources to cooling systems. Cold plates remove the "heat load" on sensitive parts of a mechanical or electronic device via liquid cooling. Liquid cooling is particularly efficient where a standard forced convection cooling system would take too much space.
