Aluminum Corrosion Resistance for Cold Plates and Plate-Fin Heat Exchangers |
Aluminum cold plates and plate-fin heat exchangers are commonly used for liquid cooling in military and aerospace applications because of their light weight and high performance. There are many factors to consider when designing these cold plates and heat exchangers: thermal performance, size, fluid pressure drop, weight, burst pressure, and corrosion resistance. This article will address the corrosion resistance considerations in designing, building, and operating aluminum cold plates and plate-fin heat exchangers.
