MeccAL – Liquid Cooling & Cold Plates

MeccAL is one of Telerex's most important producers of heat sinks and cold plates. This Italian company is known for its well-thought-out designs and products and innovative production methods. This results in a new range of liquid coolers and cold plates.

Liquid cooling is the most effective way to remove the heat generated by electronic components, achieving cooling performance not possible with air cooling. At the same time, the overall dimensions remain limited. As for an air-cooled heat sink, the thermal performance of an LCP is measured using thermal resistance RTH [K/W], which describes how much warmer the surface becomes (TMAX) relative to the coolant temperature (TIN) flowing through it, for a given thermal load, compared to the power dissipated by the electronic elements to be cooled (Pd).

Example – The Embedded Tube

Using copper, stainless steel and aluminum tubing, pressed into base plates made from Mecc.Al's own in-house produced aluminum alloys, we can offer an unlimited number of custom solutions to suit every individual project need. The range also offers a range of plates with fixed dimensions suitable for simpler applications, already designed to accommodate almost all commercially available active components.

Mecc.Al can design the embedded tube LCPs, fully tailored to the individual needs of each specific design, regardless of the application for which the plate is designed.

Aluminum alloys produced in MeccAl's factories with different thermal and mechanical properties, can be combined with extruded or electro-welded copper, stainless steel and aluminum tubing coils of all diameters and thicknesses, and are provided with connectors of all types, both outside and inside the perimeter of the plate . MeccAL forms the pipe bends with a specific shape that maximizes both the pipe adhesion and the size of the contact area between the heat sources and the pipe itself. The tubes are mechanically mounted to the base plate using specific tools for each layout and high-pressure hydraulic presses. The MeccAl exclusive section shape, which is pressed into the base plates without glues or resins, maximizes adhesion and minimizes any thermal impedance between the tube coil and the plate, both on the straight and curved parts of the design.

Different layouts in the construction of the base plate and tube coil allow us to locate the best dissipation performance in areas of the plate where the most critical interfaces are positioned, leading to optimized thermal conductivity, minimized mechanical and electrochemical resistance and reduced overall costs: there is a customized solution for every design need, always effective and efficient.
