claremont, nh - february 2006- mikros technologies has developed a new generation of its normal flow cold plates (ncp�) that improves upon an already superb product. a novel micro-channel geometry provides a several fold reduction in pressure drop and a 30% reduction in minimum thermal resistivity. figure 1 shows the total resistivity of the new ncp as a function of pressure drop. ���for a target resistivity of 0.03 oc/(w/cm2), the new design achieves a factor of 5 reduction in pressure drop. ��the minimum resistivity for the new ncp is 0.02 oc/(w/cm2).� that is, at a heat flux of 500 w/cm2, the new ncp could operate with a surface temperature only 10 oc above the fluid inlet temperature. 
figure 1. thermal resistivity versus pressure drop figure 2 compares the pressure drop of the new ncp to the previous generation ncp. a cold plate with a lower pressure drop requires a smaller pump and makes the whole cooling loop more efficient.
