Liquid Cooling's Next Frontier:

Rethinking Heat Capture at the Cold Plate

Summary

Delivering innovative thermal management at scale means solving for the entire thermal chain, from chip to atmosphere. Johnson Controls does exactly that including new magnetic bearing chillers at the facility level and microcapillary cold plates at the silicon level, all engineered to move heat efficiently at hyperscale volumes.

In this webinar, Johnson Controls' Bill Flaherty, PhD, Senior Director, Customer Solutions, focuses on the microcapillary cold plates: the heat-capture layer where coolant meets silicon. Bill will show how novel microgeometries in single-piece, leak-tight cold plates reduce thermal resistance by up to 35% and cut pressure drop by up to 4× over incumbent designs like skived fin, all while running on 44°C water with smaller pumps to cut HVAC load and energy use. And because they're built as single-piece parts with no O-rings and no brazing, they qualify faster and deliver consistent yield at high volume.

Session Highlights

Push Beyond Legacy Cooling Limits

Understand why traditional cold plates struggle to provide enough thermal headroom as chip TDPs and rack densities continue to rise.

Reduce Resistance With Microcapillaries

Explore how single-piece microcapillary cold plates cut thermal resistance by up to 35% and pressure drop by up to 4×.

Turn Cooling Gains Into Energy Savings

See how 44°C water and smaller pumps reduce HVAC load, delivering greater system-level efficiency and lower energy consumption.

Scale Production Without Compromising Reliability

Discover how single-piece, leak-tight manufacturing simplifies qualification, improves yield and strengthens supply reliability at high volume.
