LIQUID FLOW THROUGH OPENVPX CHASSISVITA 48.4 DEVELOPMENT & DEMO PLATFORM

DESCRIPTION
Elma Electronic’s newest OpenVPX development
platform is designed to accommodate boards
requiring VITA 48.4 LFT (Liquid Flow-Through) cooling.
The standard establishes the mechanical design
interface, outline and mounting requirements for a 6U
VPX liquid-flow-through cooled plug-in module within
associated sub-racks. The connector layout remains
common with VITA 46. The plug-in module uses liquid
f
lowing through an integral heatsink of the module for
cooling the electronic components and circuit boards.
The quick disconnect coupling assemblies allow fluidic
coupling to the chassis manifold.
Intended for proof of concept testing and development
tasks, this self-contained VITA 48.4 LFT platform is
designed to accept up to five 6U VPX plug-in modules
on a 1” pitch, and either a built-in power supply or a
plug-in VITA 62 power module. The liquid-to-air heat
exchanger provides the required fluid for cooling, and
a flow indicator shows whether the fluid is circulating.
The system can be adapted to any slot count and
module pitch.
