High-Performance Two-Phase Cooling under Different Cold Plate Orientations

Explore a technical presentation by Richard Bonner (CTO) and Qingyang Wang (Senior R&D Thermal Engineer) from Accelsius discussing the performance of two-phase cooling systems in data center applications across various cold plate orientations. Learn why two-phase cooling is promising for data centers due to its high heat transfer coefficients, heat capacities, and iso-thermality. Discover how thermal engineers are investigating direct-to-chip liquid cooling solutions with cold plates in atypical orientations, including vertical blades, two-sided CPU cooling, and upside-down server configurations. The 13-minute talk presents research findings demonstrating that two-phase cold plates maintain sufficient performance across all tested orientations without requiring design modifications to the original cold plate.
