A water-cooled plate is a thermal management device that uses water as a cooling medium. It is usually made of high thermal conductivity materials such as copper or aluminum. It guides water to the heat source through built-in cooling channels to absorb and remove the generated heat. The water-cooled plate plays a key role in the heat dissipation system and can effectively reduce the temperature of the equipment to keep the equipment in normal working condition.
The working principle of the water-cooled plate can be divided into the following steps:
1. Heat transfer: The heat conductor of the water-cooled plate (usually copper or aluminum) directly contacts the surface of the equipment that needs to be dissipated, absorbing the heat generated by the equipment.
2. Water flow cooling: Water flows through the channels inside the cooling plate. The channels are usually designed in a complex grid or spiral shape to increase the contact area and flow time of the water flow. The water absorbs heat in the channel and is taken away.
3. Heat discharge: The water with heat flows out of the cooling plate through the outlet, passes through an external cooling device (such as a cooler or radiator), and releases the heat into the air. The cooled water flows into the cooling plate again.
4. Circulation: The cooled water returns to the inside of the cooling plate, repeating the above process to achieve continuous thermal management.
In short, as an efficient heat dissipation solution, the water-cooled plate has demonstrated its unique advantages in many industries. With the continuous development of technology, the water-cooled plate will continue to play an important role in improving heat dissipation efficiency and optimizing equipment performance.
