How to Identify the Quality of Customized Water Cooling Plates

To determine the quality of a customized water cooling plate, consider the following aspects:

 

1. Material Quality:

   - In a competitive market, some manufacturers use non-standard materials to cut costs. Water-cooled plate substrates are typically made from aluminum, but lower-quality plates might use recycled aluminum, which can contain impurities and sand holes.

   - While such materials might be acceptable for air-cooled heat sinks, they pose a significant risk for water-cooled plates, including leakage and corrosion.

 

2. Water Channel Formation Process:

   - For plates using embedded copper pipes, the quality of the connection between the copper pipes and the aluminum plate is crucial. The plate should be ground or milled to create a flat, smooth surface.

   - Inspect the surface for smoothness and ensure there are no gaps between the copper pipes and the aluminum plate. Poor bonding can reduce heat dissipation and increase the risk of leaks, especially if substandard joints are used.

 

3. Packaging and Transportation:

   - Given the water cooling plates importance and cost, proper packaging is essential. High-quality plates should have surface protection and special covers to prevent dust and debris from entering the waterways.

   - For transportation, robust packaging such as wooden crates should be used to prevent damage.

 

4. Leakage Prevention:

   - The most critical factor is ensuring there is no risk of leakage. Each plate must undergo leak testing and be able to pass a burst pressure test.

   - For brazed products, be particularly cautious as multiple welding points can create potential leak areas, especially in thin-walled sections.

 

By carefully evaluating these factors, you can assess the quality and reliability of a customized water cooling plate effectively.
