What is a cold plate for EV inverter cooling?

Cold plate custom designed for compact, lighter weight EV inverter cooling. Choosing the proper product construction and manufacturing process is more complex due to the wide range of design options in the industry.

How do water cooling plates work?

Hence, liquid cooling plates come into play. In the adjacent image, the heat from the cell will transfer step by step to the water cooling plates. This is solid conduction heat transfer from high temperature to low temperature. Then, the coolant will circulate inside the channels to cool down the water cooling plate.

What are trumonytechs water cooling plates?

Trumonytechs water cooling plates, also known as liquid cooling plates, are primarily made from high-thermal-conductivity aluminum. They are mainly used in battery pack cooling solutions. It is a cooling method that is superior to air cooling. The heat is transferred from the cell to the two-phase coolant.

What is battery thermal management?

Battery thermal management relies on maximizing the surface area that can be uniformly cooled. Inverter power density varies by localized high power density heat sources requiring local hot spot heat spreading and cooling. Inverters must also be cooled below critical temperatures to optimize vehicle performance.

Do battery cold plates need fin enhancements?

Maximizing the surface area cooled as uniformly as possible is the key to optimized battery cooling. While battery cold plates do not require fin enhancements, like those in inverter cold plates, the fluid path within the plate must be carefully designed to cover as much surface as possible.

What is a cold plate cooling system?

It is a cooling method that is superior to air cooling. The heat is transferred from the cell to the two-phase coolant. This, combined with the internal channel circulation of the cold plate, achieves localized heat dissipation from the cell. It also achieves optimum charge and discharge performance and extending battery life.
