Cold Plates

Developed by Parker Hannifin’s Gas Turbine Division, the unique macrolaminate construction employs a diffusion-bonding manufacturing process. This process allows multiple layers of extremely thin material to be bonded together, resulting in a finished product that has a material strength greater than 90 percent of the base material. Each layer may contain complex liquid paths that transport the coolant to specific areas of concentrated heat flux. This multilayer approach results in the ability to create parallel “low temperature” flow paths for the coolant prior to reaching multiple locations of the specific heat sources.
