Abstract
Presented herein is a plurality of arrangements of cold plates having interior chambers. The interior chamber includes a plurality of fins with a first fin zone and a second fin zone. The cold plate further includes a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet. The cold plates can be connected such that each cold plate allows unidirectional flow or counter flow configurations. Unidirectional flow or counter flow cold plates can be arranged in rows and in combination of rows.
