Thermal management company GCoreLab has introduced a new generation of cold plates for the cooling of power electronics.
The new XtremeChill liquid cold plate utilizes GCoreLab’s patented oblique fin technology, which offers superior thermal cooling and heating performance with no pressure drop. The technology, first developed by Professor PS Lee at the National University of Singapore, is an accumulation of more than a decade of research in this arena.
XtremeChill provides up to 100 percent increase in performance over current industry offerings using pin or straight fin plates. According to the developers, the key is a disruptive technology that introduces a continuous interruption of the thermal boundary layer, which promotes an enhanced fluid mixture.
“With decades of thermal research and years of proven technology, we are very proud to provide clients a state-of-the art yet competitively priced solution to resolve a critical need. As growth in power electronics in solar/wind farms and electrical vehicles continues, the need for our product grows exponentially,” Ray Kung, CEO of GCoreLab, said.
“We are delighted to see the commercialization of this technology, which began its life in an academic research setting and has now been brought to market to solve cooling and heating problems,” Irene Cheong, director of the NUS Industry Liaison Office, said.
