APPLICATION & COMPONENTS

Cold plates & serviceable connections

Use cold plates and quick-disconnects to understand loop interfaces and the additional manufacturing steps they require.

Define the requirements.

Select a component group below.

For thermal-management OEMs evaluating an adjacent manufacturing proposal. Cold-plate channel and joining requirements differ from a pressure-housing casting; quick-disconnect performance involves the complete sealed assembly.

COMPONENT GUIDE

Copper cold plate — adjacent component

Heat-transfer interface at a server CPU/GPU or other specified source

Identifies the manufacturing and validation inputs for a copper cold plate as an adjacent technology.

Manufacturing & delivery form
Commonly involves machining or forming plate/block stock and joining; any casting proposal needs a separate development study.

This record does not claim established cold-plate, microchannel, brazing or thermal-design capability at Zhiren.

Material candidates

UNS C11000 Wrought copper

A reference for machined or formed copper cold-plate structures.

An adjacent manufacturing route, not a casting grade or confirmed Zhiren cold-plate capability. C10200 requires a separate customer specification.

Confirm the drawing, actual duty, material standard and manufacturing condition. Material substitutions require customer approval, and supply scope is agreed after component review.

Component RFQ requirements

Thermal design inputs: Provide heat-source/contact geometry and the OEM's required thermal resistance and pressure-drop criteria.
Channels and base: Define channel geometry, base thickness, mounting, flatness and surface requirements.
Material and joining: Specify wrought-copper grade, joining process, coating and accepted manufacturing routes; no automatic cast-grade substitution.
Coolant compatibility: Identify the coolant, full wetted-material list and corrosion/compatibility validation responsibilities.
Cleanliness and sealing: Define particles, residues, leak-test criteria, cleaning verification and protective packaging.
Feasibility boundary: Identify which design, machining, joining and performance tests need a qualified supplier before assessing a proposal.

Start with your drawing, specified alloy and quantity. Include the required delivery condition and acceptance records so the manufacturing and inspection scope can be reviewed.

COMPONENT GUIDE

Quick-disconnect coupling — adjacent component

Serviceable connection in a liquid-cooling loop or server module

Identifies the component interfaces, material approval and verification requirements for a proposed quick-disconnect body.

Manufacturing & delivery form
Complete couplings may include turned bodies, internal valves, springs and seals; assess any proposed body route individually.

No general copper-casting grade, complete-coupling capability or UQD qualification is established. A component proposal does not certify the finished connection.

Material candidates

Customer specified Approved material to be defined

No default copper-casting alloy is established for this component.

Obtain the approved metal, seal and coating specifications from the equipment owner before assessing a manufacturing route.

Confirm the drawing, actual duty, material standard and manufacturing condition. Material substitutions require customer approval, and supply scope is agreed after component review.

Component RFQ requirements

Interface definition: Provide approved connection series, mating halves, dimensions, interchangeability requirements and included body scope.
Materials and seals: Specify approved metals, coatings, seals, coolant and complete wetted-material compatibility requirements.
Connection duty: Define repeated connect/disconnect duty, service conditions and required sealing-life validation.
Leakage acceptance: Specify connected/disconnected leakage or drip criteria, test procedure and complete-product validation owner.
Cleanliness: Define particles, process residues, cleaning and protected packaging requirements.
Manufacturing feasibility: State the allowed body route, component drawings, sample plan and supplier qualification needed for each operation.

Start with your drawing, specified alloy and quantity. Include the required delivery condition and acceptance records so the manufacturing and inspection scope can be reviewed.
