Aluminum Cold Plates

Aluminum vacuum-brazed cold plate technologies offer virtually unlimited customization opportunities.

Custom vacuum-brazed cold plates are engineered to match your performance, pressure drop, and dimensional requirements. Our aluminum cold plates can be manufactured in virtually any size and shape, and surface machining and drillable areas can be added. The inside of the cold plate is also customized. Lytron manufactures over 30 different types of internal fin to precisely match the cold plate’s fluid path to the thermal requirements of the application.

All steps in the manufacturing process are carried out in-house including interior and exterior machining, fin forming, fin cutting, vacuum brazing, and heat treating. Vacuum-brazed cold plates are assembled in an environmentally controlled room for maximum cleanliness and quality. Our numerically controlled vacuum brazing process and robust fixture designs ensure outstanding metal joining for unrivaled strength and reliability.

Lytron specializes in the design and manufacture of custom cold plates, cold plate assemblies, cooling systems, and heat exchangers. Please view our custom solution gallery below, which shows a sample of some of the custom aluminum cold plates we've manufactured.

Vacuum Brazed Cold Plate with Chemical Conversion Coating This custom vacuum brazed cold plate was desinged for cooling electronics for a military application.  Lytron designed the cold plate with a chemical conversion coating that helps minimize surface oxidation.

Cold Plate for IGBT's Lytron engineered an aluminum vacuum-brazed cold plate for cooling multiple IGBT's. The custom cold plate had a very low pressure drop and low thermal resistance.

Cold Plate with Blue Paint Lytron designed and manufactured this large vacuum-brazed aluminum cold plate for an OEM. The cold plate has custom fittings and blue paint. Custom cold plates can be painted or coated for cosmetic reasons or for added protection.

Thin and Lightweight Cold Plates Lytron's engineers designed these cold plates to be high-performance, very thin, and lightweight for an aerospace application.

Cold Plate with Gold Plating This large vacuum brazed custom cold plate has extensive machining and gold plating. It was designed for use in the computer industry.

Cold Plate with Extensive Machining This custom cold plate is vacuum-brazed aluminum with extensive machining. Lytron designed and manufactured this cold plate for a military application.

Lightweight and Ultra-Thin Cold Plate Lytron produced a lightweight, ultra-thin (0.15”/4mm) vacuum-brazed cold plate for an aerospace application. We can produce cold plates in a variety of sizes and innumerable configurations to meet application specific requirements.
