🔥 Data centres are heating up — and traditional air cooling just isn’t enough anymore.
Looking for a smarter way to reduce thermal load? The answer is liquid cooling.

📈 As rack power density continues to rise, so does the overall heat load across data centres.
Air cooling systems are reaching their limits in both efficiency and scalability.
That’s where liquid cooling comes in, offering significantly better performance for today’s high-density environments.

💡 In this video, we focus on cold plate liquid cooling, one of the two mainstream liquid cooling solutions (the other being immersion cooling).
Here's how it works:
Coolant flows through a metal cold plate that makes direct contact with the heat source (like CPUs or GPUs).
Heat is absorbed by the coolant via microchannels inside the plate, and transferred away efficiently—keeping systems cool, stable, and long-lasting.

🔧 Why aluminium alloys?
Because of their excellent thermal conductivity, lightweight properties, and manufacturability, aluminium is the material of choice for cold plates. Depending on your system needs, you can choose from:
3xxx series – Manganese-rich, great corrosion resistance;
5xxx series – Magnesium-rich, high tensile strength;
6xxx series – Strong structure, high fatigue resistance, perfect for demanding systems.

⚙️ The manufacturing process also makes a big difference in performance. Common methods include:
CNC machining – High-precision, fully automated, ideal for complex designs;
Aluminium extrusion – Customisable microchannels, great for structural designs with flow complexity;
Continuous brazing – Great consistency, ideal for large-scale production.

🚀 Whether you're evaluating cooling solutions for a new data centre project or upgrading existing infrastructure, this video offers essential technical insights to guide your decision-making.
