Understanding your application is the key to selecting the proper connection. When selecting quick disconnect couplings for liquid cooling, it is important to look for the following five attributes to ensure reliability:
1. Robust Design
Liquid cooling system quick disconnect couplings need to be durable, robust, and be able to withstand long periods of connection before disconnection. Couplings should also be designed for low pressure drop, to minimise flow restriction.
2. Dry Disconnect Capability
Dry disconnect couplings reduce spillage of water or coolant to near zero, giving technicians the confidence to connect and disconnect couplings without drips that can damage or destroy equipment.
3. Resilient Seals
Couplings used in liquid cooling applications remain in a connected state for extended periods. Upon disconnection and reconnection, they need to function perfectly so there are no drips or leaks of coolants. Seals need to have high reliability.
4. Ease of Use
It is important to be able to easily disconnect the cooling loops from servers with no spills. Valves on the coupling need to reliably close when disconnected.
5. Materials Compatibility
Determine whether the coolant is compatible with the connector. Compatibility can be ensured by using quick disconnect couplings designed specifically for liquid cooling.
