Cold Plate

Project Leads

Emily Clark, Berhanu Wondimu

The OCP's Cold Plate Sub-Project is a key piece within the Cooling Environments Project. The primary goal of the sub-project is to drive standardization and enable an open ecosystem for direct liquid cooling applications within the industry.

Scope

The ongoing work in the Cold Plate Sub-project involves collaboration across key industry players. We are working together to address various challenges associated with direct liquid cooling implementation, including the development of standardized interfaces, providing technical recommendations/guidelines across the ecosystem, and addressing risks. The sub-project produces requirements/guidelines, specs, best practices and products which are related to the technology cooling system (TCS) from the cold plate to the CDU. This includes all ingredients in the TCS such as cold plates, tubing, manifolds, QDs, CDUs, etc.

Current active workstreams can be viewed on the wiki.
