Liquid cooling meets the needs of the electronics sector

Many companies which produce electronics or machinery are hesitant about using water cooled systems for electronic circuits. The systems which Aavid supply are tested to last and 100% of the parts are tested for leakages. Joints are not sealed using simple O-rings but are usually bonded or for the most part, are sealed using CAB brazing (in a controlled atmosphere) or through vacuum brazing.

Furthermore, Aavid has a simple liquid cooling system called Hydrosink which can assist companies working in the inverters, drives and converters markets through the delicate transition from air to liquid systems.

The range of liquid systems also includes more economical products which dissipate low to medium heat densities from Hi-Contact, which can be supplied with a standard as well as personalised configuration, to blister cold plates with a stamped cover up to higher performing solutions with specially designed channels which are more flexible and can be adapted to customers’ specific requirements. These are capable of dissipating more than 2.5kW from an IGBT.
