COLD PLATES FOR LIQUID COOLING SYSTEMS, METHODS FOR USE THEREOF, AND VEHICLES INCLUDING THE SAME

Abstract

Cold plates for liquid cooling systems, methods for the cold plates, and vehicles including the cold plates are provided. The methods include welding together a first substrate and a second substrate with weld lines, inflating portions of at least the second substrate between the weld lines to form a network of channels between the first substrate and the second substrate and thereby produce a cold plate, installing the cold plate to be in thermal contact with an apparatus that produces heat during operation thereof, wherein the apparatus includes a housing and the cold plate is welded to a portion of the housing or defines a portion of the housing, and coupling the cold plate to a liquid cooling system configured to supply a coolant to the network of channels to remove the heat from the apparatus.
