Abstract
Systems and methods for thermal management using matrix coldplates are disclosed. One illustrative method may comprise directing a flow of coolant through a coldplate comprising a plurality of parallel passages by selectively connecting portions of the parallel passages to one another to create one or more regions of parallel flow, serial flow, or blocked flow in the coldplate. Selectively connecting portions of the parallel passages may comprise machining a plurality of transverse passages into the cold plate such that each of the transverse passages intersects at least some of the parallel passages. Valves may be installed to interact between the parallel and transverse passages to create and modify the different flow regions.
