Cold plates

Cold Plates are high-performance heat sinks that use forced liquid circulation to dissipate heat from high-power electronic or industrial components.

Thanks to etching technique, any channeled pattern can be designed to cool devices with uneven thermal load release, precisely reaching hot sposts and removing heat through a fully sealed device. Very large size allowed by MCD unique etching process.

High-performance single or two-phase fluid-cooling.

Low-noise. Compact. Engineered to your specifications.

Microchannel Devices single or two-phase fluid-cooled are high-performance heat sinks that use forced liquid circulation to dissipate heat from high-power electronic or industrial components.

Unlike air-cooling systems, they operate in complete silence — no fans, no airflow — delivering consistent thermal precision even under high load conditions.

Our strenghts

Fully integrated process

Chemical etching, diffusion bonding, post processing and testing take place in a single production facility, with direct control over every critical parameter: geometrical, diffusion bonding process, performance, cleanliness.

Full process control with no dependency on external treatment enables our zero defect policy.

Custom design and manufacturing

We engineer with you, not just for you.
Every device is bespoke. Our engineers work alongside your team to develop the most efficient solution —including architectures an integrated process makes possible: multistream PCHE, hybrid PCHE, cold plates. And because the full chain is ours, we move at a speed others cannot match.

Fast & flexible

Those who work with large-scale PCHE manufacturers know the cost of long lead times: internal approval cycles, commercial teams translating technical specifications before they reach the engineering department, and delivery schedules that stretch well beyond project timelines. Microchannel Devices works differently: direct access to the technical team from the first feasibility inquiry, through quotation to final test documentation sign-off. The agility of a specialised SME, with the certified quality that oil & gas, nuclear and hydrogen markets demand.

High performance

We etch plates larger in width and length than any competitor — up to 850 × 3000 mm — and build PCHE cores engineered for extreme conditions: pressures above 900 bar, temperatures from −200 °C to +900 °C, hydrostatic testing up to 2000 bar, including lethal service in Oil & Gas.

Diffusion bonding turns the stacked plates into a single monolithic block with the strength of the parent material: no brazing, no gaskets, no external welds. Maximum performance in minimum space — up to 85% smaller and lighter than traditional heat exchangers, with ~98% thermal efficiency.

Certified quality

Our devices are designed and built according to ASME BPVC VIII Div. 1 and PED 2014/68/EU. ASME U Stamp and ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 — certified by DEKRA — cover our products, our processes and the way we care for people and the environment.

Technical specifications

Custom single or two-phase fluid-cooled: materials, geometry and performance

µCD cold plates are manufactured using diffusion bonding technology — the same process used for PCHE and microchanneled cores — which metallurgically fuses the plates into a single monolithic block without internal mechanical joints.

The result is a hermetically sealed component, pressure-tested before delivery.

Applications

µCD cold plates applications
for demanding industries.

µCD does not work from a catalogue. Every cold plate is engineered from the specific requirements of the application: internal channel geometry, material, thickness, footprint and connection layout are defined together with the client.

It is the same co-engineering approach µCD applies to PCHE and microchanneled cores: from design to finished product, with a fully in-house process.

Clients who have already worked with µCD on a PCHE will find the same method: no standard components, no catalogue — a component developed around the client’s specific thermal process.

Data centres and power electronics

High-density servers, inverters and power converters require continuous and precise thermal management. single or two-phase fluid-cooled cold plates deliver high thermal efficiency in compact footprints, removing dependency on air ventilation systems.

Aerospace — thermal control
On-board electronic systems operate in environments with stringent thermal requirements and limited space. µCD cold plates provide precision cooling in geometries customised to the specific component.
Semiconductors
Semiconductor production and test systems require operating temperatures controlled with precision. µCD cold plates deliver uniform cooling across complex geometrical profiles.
Transportation — trains and vehicles

In rail and traction applications, single or two-phase fluid-cooling manages the thermal dissipation of power components silently and without moving parts.

UPS and backup systems

In power continuity systems, single or two-phase fluid-cooling reduces cabinet footprint while maintaining safe operating temperatures for electronic components.

Military equipment
Military applications demand compact, reliable components with no moving parts subject to wear. Diffusion bonding delivers a monolithic component with high mechanical integrity.
