Description

Product overview
Full Flow Quick Coupling is a 1/4-turn quick disconnect designed for direct-to-chip liquid cooling in data centers. The coupling combines a self-sealing ball-valve "full flow" path with a dual-interlock mechanism to prevent accidental coolant release during service operations. Constructed for repeated service cycles and compatibility with common industry form-factors.

Key benefits
  • Easy serviceability: 1/4-turn connection enables fast, repeatable mating and demating during hardware maintenance.
  • Minimal pressure drop: ball-valve full-flow design preserves coolant flow rate and thermal transfer efficiency.
  • Operational safety: dual-interlock prevents disconnection when valves are open, reducing spill risk.
  • Industry compatibility: mates directly to common form-factor couplings used in CDUs and chassis plumbing.

Features
  • Dual-interlock design: cannot disconnect if either valve is open.
  • Self-sealing ball valves for unobstructed coolant path (full flow).
  • Rated flow: 300 L/min.
  • Material: 304 stainless steel main body for corrosion resistance with advanced coolants.
  • Flame-resistant hose cover for added protection.
  • Direct mating with similar form-factor quick couplings.

FAQs
What does "Full Flow" mean for system performance?
  • Full Flow indicates a ball-valve passage that provides an unobstructed internal bore, minimizing pressure drop across the coupling and maintaining high flow rates needed for dense server racks.

What is the primary safety feature?
  • The dual-interlock mechanism prevents uncoupling when either valve remains open, eliminating the risk of an uncontrolled coolant release.

Is it compatible with other manufacturers' quick-disconnects?
  • Yes. It is engineered to directly mate with widely used industry form-factors for straightforward integration.

What materials are used?
  • Main body: 304 stainless steel for durability and chemical compatibility with typical data center coolants.

What is a quick coupling's role in a liquid cooling system?
  • A quick coupling allows rapid connection and disconnection of fluid lines to facilitate hardware servicing while minimizing coolant loss and downtime.

How does it prevent coolant spills?
  • Self-sealing ball valves and dual interlocks automatically seal both halves on disconnection, trapping fluid inside lines and preventing spills in the rack environment.
