Key Thermal Management Challenges:

In advanced medical systems like MRI scanners, CT machines, linear accelerators, and surgical lasers, precise thermal management is critical to ensure imaging accuracy, patient safety, and consistent equipment performance. These devices operate under high electrical and magnetic loads, often for extended periods, making liquid-cooled cold plates the gold standard for targeted and stable heat removal.

Cold plates are used to cool key components such as gradient coils, radiofrequency (RF) amplifiers, X-ray tubes, klystrons, and laser diodes. Temperature stability ensures sharp imaging resolution, prevents signal drift, and extends the service life of high-value medical equipment. In surgical systems, cold plates also support consistent laser output and protect temperature-sensitive electronics during complex procedures.

  • Strict Temperature Control: Even small thermal fluctuations can compromise imaging quality or calibration in diagnostic equipment.

  • Compact Device Footprints: Modern hospital equipment demands high cooling performance in limited space—favoring thin, efficient cold plate designs.

  • 24/7 Operation: Systems in critical care and oncology centers must run continuously, requiring robust and reliable cooling hardware.

Why ZeroKelvin Cold Plates Stand Out:

  • High-performance aluminum designs with smooth internal flow channels and low pressure drop.

  • Leak-proof construction and material compatibility with medical-grade fluids.

  • Proven reliability under continuous duty cycles—ideal for hospital environments.

  • Easily integrated into OEM imaging, therapy, and surgical platforms.
