Product overviewFull 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.
FAQsWhat 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.
