Refrigeration systems come in varying degrees, but there are certain components that are currently used by the whole industry and others that are usually special to high end standards.
One of them is the cold plates, the most important part of which is also controversial, because they have two uses that on one side are wrong by interpretation.
Cold plate: a term misused in the PC industry
As a name, a cold plate is translated as a cold plate and is widely used in the industry. The problem with its argument is that apart from the computer sector, the cold plate has some function not fulfilled here.
The cold table came from the most efficient technology, where the cold plate was a type of copper container that contained the inside of a zig-zag inner rotation (or other advanced systems even wings) that made the fluid inside with two ribs, one inlet and one exhaust.
The best idea is that of a 20 year old CPU water brush, but it was taken at very low speeds, where it was not customary to go more than an inch in height.
So, this program or idea has nothing to do with the industry in which we operate, to the extent that we incorrectly access certain pieces like a cold plate.
Exchanger or exchanger, the right name for manufacturers to use
The fact is that it doesn't matter which company or brand you're looking at, they all point to a cold plate, where some without even getting that call a contact center for a given term. But this is not only a mistake, it is a deliberate mistake to try to make marketing profitable.
There have been only two models (that we know of) in the entire history of PCs that can be classified as cold plates in the refrigerator, so we can already get an idea of the wrong interpretation of the industry.
The ideal term to use will be exchanger or exchanger, because the manufacturers' use is nothing more than a rectangular or square plate of electrolytic copper with or without nickel heat exchanger IHS with heatsink heat pipes itself.
The exchanger, on the other hand, is widely used by fans of peltier cells, because between the cell itself and its cold side and IHS, a copper plate is required to maximize the cold delivery of the cell itself.
Therefore, the PC industry has loaned the word cold plate to the exchanger knowing that it will carry the good reputation of the fact that this type of cooling system receives high-quality electricity, which is currently completely distorted.
