Abstract
A cold plate is provided and includes fins defining first channels, a plenum adjacent to an upstream end of each of the first channels, a lid, ribs and a blocking element. The lid defines an inlet fluidly communicative with the plenum. The ribs extend between the lid and the fins to define second channels oriented transversely relative to the first channels. The second channels include a proximal second channel fluidly communicative with the plenum. The blocking element is configured to normally encourage coolant flowing through the inlet to flow toward the plenum and the upstream end of each of the first channels and to normally discourage the coolant from flowing into the proximal second channel.
