Abstract
A cold plate for a linear motor includes a planar housing having a cooled surface for placement against a surface to be cooled, and first and second chambers arranged in the housing, which extend parallel to the cooled surface and are separated by a diaphragm. The housing has two half-shells and the diaphragm, which is disposed between the half-shells and is connected to the two half-shells. The first chamber, facing away from the cooled surface, is connected to a coolant inlet, and the second chamber, bounded by the cooled surface, is connected to a coolant outlet.
Claims11
A cold plate for a linear motor, comprising:
- a planar housing including:
- two half-shells;
- and
- a diaphragm arranged between and connected to the half-shells;
- wherein the housing includes a cooled surface adapted to be thermally coupled with a surface to be cooled, first and second chambers being provided in the housing, the first and second chambers extending parallel to the cooled surface and being separated by the diaphragm;
- wherein the first chamber faces away from the cooled surface and is connected to a coolant inlet, and the second chamber is bounded by the cooled surface and is connected to a coolant outlet;
- wherein the diaphragm includes a plurality of nozzles;
- and.
- wherein the nozzles are adapted to generate coolant jets to cool the cooled surface with the aid of a turbulent flow.

- wherein the first chamber faces away from the cooled surface and is connected to a coolant inlet, and the second chamber is bounded by the cooled surface and is connected to a coolant outlet;
- wherein one of the two half-shells includes a border that encloses the other of the two half-shells on a side of the other of the two half-shells, so that a height of the housing perpendicular to a plane of the housing is defined solely by the half-shell that includes the border;
- and
- wherein a first half-shell has the border that encloses a second half-shell, the border having a contact surface that projects with respect to the cooled surface and via which the housing rests against the surface to be cooled, so that the height of the housing perpendicular to the surface to be cooled is defined solely by a distance between the contact surface and an opposite side of the first half-shell.
