Discussing thermal energy management can be difficult for many business owners and operators. After all, your company is probably not involved in this field, but the effective movement and dispersal of high temperatures can seriously affect your equipment. If you run on an outdated or inefficient system, you could be allowing the undue deterioration of your electrical and computerized resources. Take the time to speak with a qualified team about your industrial needs so that you understand how to best care for your circuitry.

At Noren Thermal Solutions, we have over a half-century of experience in this field, so you can feel comfortable knowing that your thermal management needs are covered. If you are new to the science and engineering of this area of expertise, you may not be aware of the difference between a heat sink and a cold plate. What are these devices, and how can they benefit your company? Learn more about these efficient protective products with our team!

Cold Plates Move High Temperatures From Your Equipment
One exciting piece of thermal management equipment is a cold plate, a solid metal block with tubing running through it. This approach allows for direct contact cooling; as a cold fluid moves through it, the plate absorbs some of the energy from your equipment. This fluid can then be safely transferred from your vulnerable machinery or electronics. Cold plates are one of the most effective means of cooling and can be used with other processes to achieve a stable regulation of temperature where direct contact is possible.

Heat Sinks Help to Disperse Thermal Energy
A heat sink is a passive heat exchanger that protects vulnerable equipment. This device is commonly found on circuit boards, and you might be familiar with its distinctive look. By having many folds or creases, heat sinks aim to maximize the surface area that comes into contact with the surrounding air.

When your cold plate (or other thermal device) gathers the energy from your heated source, it can move it to the heat sink. This way, the high temperatures can be in an area that protects your vulnerable equipment from lasting harm. While some other products use cheap aluminum as a conduit, our heat sinks are made from superior copper. This metal is much more conductive, allowing for more protection.
