Abstract
Cold plates are described herein. In one example, a cold plate can include a thermally conductive plastic forming a coolant channel that includes a heat spreader formed into the thermally conductive plastic and an exterior surface of the thermally conductive plastic with a coupling location to couple a heat pipe to the exterior surface of the thermally conductive plastic.
Claims14
A cold plate, comprising:
- a thermally conductive plastic forming a coolant channel that includes a heat spreader formed into the thermally conductive plastic;
- an exterior surface of the thermally conductive plastic with a coupling location to couple a flat heat pipe to the exterior surface of the thermally conductive plastic;
- and
- a plurality of fins extending from the heat spreader into the coolant channel.

A cooling system, comprising:
- a plurality of flat heat pipes;
- and
- a cold plate comprising:
- a thermally conductive plastic to enclose a coolant channel;
- a heat spreader that is formed into the thermally conductive plastic such that a portion of the heat spreader is exposed to an exterior of the cold plate;
- and
- a coupling location on the exposed portion of the heat spreader to couple the plurality of flat heat pipes to the heat spreader.
