You want a quick solution, but keep hearing “custom only.”
You’re managing a power module, battery pack, or data centre project and you know the thermal load is significant. You reach out with a seemingly simple request:
“Do you have a cold plate in XXX size that I can use?”
It feels like a reasonable question—but the answer you often get is a technical detour:
“No standard product, everything is custom.”
This can be frustrating. But there’s a valid reason behind it—one that actually works in your favour when reliability, performance, and cost-effectiveness are at stake.
Unlike generic components, cold plates must interface precisely with your heat source—both physically and thermally. Here’s why a standard part often won’t work:
Even a 5mm difference in positioning or a minor change in heat density may require a new channel design or rebalanced flow distribution. That’s why standardising cold plates without compromising performance is rarely possible.
Actually, yes. This is where experienced suppliers can help you move faster:
✅ Check Our Internal Catalogue of Past Projects
We compare your size/specs to hundreds of completed projects and tooling already developed for EV, ESS, telecom, and computing customers. This helps avoid unnecessary delays.
✅ Flexible Tooling System
Some manufacturing processes (like CNC or extruded baseplate welding) allow dimensional flexibility without creating new dies.
✅ Modular Interface Design
We design scalable platforms for recurring clients—one base, multiple variants—minimising lead time and cost with every iteration.
To speed up feasibility assessment:
✅ Target dimensions (L × W × H)
✅ Cooling capacity (in watts)
✅ Battery/module layout or contact surface
✅ Coolant type (water-glycol, dielectric, etc.)
✅ Inlet/outlet interface requirements
✅ Operation temperature, shock, or vibration data
✅ Thermal simulations or heat map (if available)
Even partial data helps you give better answers fast.
One of the most effective ways to improve cold plate performance and avoid rework is to introduce thermal simulation (CFD or FEA) in the design validation phase. We routinely support clients with:
● Optimising internal channel geometry
● Mapping flow velocity and identifying stagnation
● Comparing design alternatives
● Predicting temperature rise under real loads
Early simulation saves both engineering time and prototyping cost—especially valuable when system power is rising fast.
A cold plate doesn’t operate in isolation—it must align with the full system. We help clients account for:
✅ Module contact flatness and mounting preload
✅ Thermal interface materials (TIM): pads, gels, pastes
✅ Sensor and wiring clearance for BMS input
✅ Mechanical assembly compatibility
Ignoring these details can result in reduced thermal performance—even when the plate is high-quality.
Yes, basic CFD/FEA support is available to predict temperature rise, flow resistance, and hotspot control.
We support G1/4, G3/8, SAE, barbed, and custom fittings. Share your connector type, and we’ll adapt accordingly.
Low as 10 units for evaluation; scaling plans offered upon confirmation.
Absolutely. 60%+ of our projects serve traction battery, high-power inverter, or containerised ESS systems.
It’s understandable to ask: “Can I get a cold plate in this size?”
But your real goal is: “Can I get a cold plate that works—for my system, budget, and timeline?”
And for that, a tailored solution is usually the best path.
✔️ We check existing designs to save time
✔️ We simulate and optimise performance
✔️ We support small batches without tooling risk
✔️ We help engineers and buyers make the right choices
Off-the-shelf cold plates may seem convenient, but when it comes to critical systems like EV batteries, energy storage, or high-power electronics, a tailored solution is the only way to guarantee thermal reliability, system compatibility, and long-term cost efficiency. At XD THERMAL, we combine engineering expertise, flexible manufacturing, and fast response to turn your thermal challenges into stable, scalable solutions. Whether you’re starting with just a dimension or a full drawing set—talk to us. Your system deserves a cold plate that actually fits.
