Our 150mm x 80mm liquid plate (P/N ELP15080) is a custom design with high internal surface area and good fluid flow properties.  It has more than double the wetted surface area of a typical 4-pass, embedded copper tube plate.  The liquid plate is a thick-walled extruded design, milled smooth and flat on both contact surfaces for low resistance interfacing and good heat spreading.  It will easily accommodate multiple 40mm or 50mm TEC’s (or other heat generating sources) on both sides.

This liquid plate LP has attractive fluid flow properties yielding a thermal resistance of 0.016 C/W at 2 LPM.  The good performance at low flows eases the pump requirement which generally translates to lower cost, a more compact design and less added heat by the pump in to the process stream (and therefore more net cooling power).  The good flow response further eases pump selection allowing more compact and economical pumps to be used.  The recommended flow range for the plate is 1-4 LPM (0.25-1.0 GPM) (rated pressure drop of 3.2 m wc (0.32 bar) at 4.1 LPM).

The liquid plate is also serviceable, the end plates can be removed allowing  inspection and periodic internal cleaning to remove any performance degrading build up, e.g., oxides, deposited solids etc.  Cooling capacity can be readily expanded by linking multiple liquid plates in either series or parallel.  We offer the fluid connectors for coupling multiple liquid plates as well as the mounts for securing multiple plates.
