Abstract
A cold plate includes a housing, which in turn includes a metal base plate and a resin cover. The metal base plate includes: a base part; and a heat exchange part that transfers heat absorbed from a heating element to a refrigerant. The resin cover includes an outer wall part joined to the base part. The housing has: an internal space, surrounded by the base part and the outer wall part, in which the heat exchange part is disposed; an inflow hole that communicates with the internal space and into which the refrigerant flows; and an outflow hole that communicates with the internal space and through which the refrigerant flows out.
Claims6
A cold plate comprising:
- a housing comprising a metal base plate and a resin cover, wherein
- the metal base plate comprises:
- a base part;
- and
- a heat exchange part that transfers heat absorbed from a heating element to a refrigerant,
- the resin cover comprises an outer wall part joined to the base part,
- the housing has:
- an internal space, surrounded by the base part and the outer wall part, in which the heat exchange part is disposed;
- an inflow hole that communicates with the internal space and into which the refrigerant flows;
- and
- an outflow hole that communicates with the internal space and through which the refrigerant flows out,
- the resin cover further comprises:
- a low-temperature refrigerant flow path, disposed in the internal space, through which the refrigerant flows before absorbing heat from the heat exchange part;
- and
- a high-temperature refrigerant flow path, disposed in the internal space, through which the refrigerant flows after absorbing heat from the heat exchange part, and
- the high-temperature refrigerant flow path is separated from the low-temperature refrigerant flow path.
