Lytron Introduces Stud Mounting System for CP-20 Cold Plates

October 9, 2001, Woburn, MA - Lytron, the Total Thermal Solutions™ company, announces a new stud system for component mounting on its CP-20 Extended Surface™ Cold Plates. Lytron's Extended Surface Series cold plates are compact, thermally very efficient, and cost effective. The new system consisting of aluminum studs welded to the cold plate surface is designed for low-pressure thermal interface materials. Stud size and placement are flexible and can be customized to the application. Cold plates are used to remove heat from IGBTs, MOSFETs, thermoelectrics and other high power components used in Power Supplies, Lasers, RF Transmitters, and Semiconductor Processing Equipment.

"The new stud mounting system provides low cost, easy mounting and gives Lytron the flexibility to customize the stud size and location to the customer's specific application," says Charlie Carswell, President of Lytron. "Because Lytron's Extended Surface Cold Plates have extremely low thermal resistance at a low cost, they are the best cold plate value on the market today. As the Total Thermal Solutions™ company, Lytron continues to bring innovation to liquid cooling components."

These all-aluminum cold plates consist of connector tubes welded to a unique micro-channel aluminum extrusion. The extended surface design significantly improves performance and results in an ultra-efficient cold plate for use with EGW, refrigerant, Fluorinert®, and many other fluids. Its large internal surface area and thin mounting surface reduce thermal resistance. The CP-20 also provides excellent thermal uniformity because the cooling fluid flows below the entire cold plate surface. The CP-20 is available in U- and Z-configurations, with either straight or beaded connectors. For OEM volumes, the fittings and cold plate length can be modified.

Lytron is the only Total Thermal Solutions™ provider that is ISO 9001 registered. ISO certification assures users that Lytron's liquid-cooling products are defect-free and able to provide years of reliable, leak-tight service. For over forty years, Lytron has been well known in the industry for consistent high quality and on-time delivery.

Lytron designs, develops and manufactures high performance heat transfer systems and components. In addition to cold plates, its products include recirculating chillers, compact non-refrigerated cooling systems, aluminum oil coolers, copper tube-fin heat exchangers, stainless steel tube-fin heat exchangers, compact brazed-plate heat exchangers, and economical OEM coils.
