Instrument reads temp, pressure for cold plates

The iFLOW-200 system assesses the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of cold plates, measuring coolant temperature at inlet and outlet, fluid flow rate/pressure drop, and surface temperature. The instrument can be used to simulate a wide range of conditions so as to optimize cold-plate performance.

The system measures coolant temperature from 0 to 70°C with ± 1°C accuracy and differential pressure to 103,000 Pa (15 psi). Distilled water is the reference coolant; for test comparisons, the system’s coolingVIEW software can also calculate thermal resistance and pressure drop as a function of flow rate for selected liquids. The system includes a pair of K-type thermocouples for measuring temperature changes of the coldplate’s surface. ($21,500 — available now.)
