Envicool Research on Aluminum Cold Plate Reliability: Accelerated Tests Reveal Coolant Compatibility and Corrosion Risks
SessionQuantum Discussions Part 1
DescriptionAluminum cold plates have several limitations, two of the main ones being high difficulty in welding and maintenance, and long-term reliability challenges. Envicool and Intel collaborated on research into the long-term reliability requirements and verification methods for aluminum cold plates, conducting two rounds of accelerated tests totaling over 200 days, using higher pressure, higher flow rate and pure water to verify the performance and reliability of the cold plates. The results showed that the cold plate needs to be highly compatible with the coolant. Pure water cannot guarantee that the cold plate will not be corroded. Corrosion is prone to occur at welding joints and corners due to the influence of turbulence.
