Frequently Asked Questions About Data Center Valves
What valves are used in a Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU)?
Check valves are typically used at the discharge of pumps within a CDU to boost liquid coolant to servers. Elastomer hinge check valves are preferred because they enhance cooling efficiency, support higher power densities, reduce noise, improve energy efficiency, allow for expansion, and contribute to sustainability.
What is the most efficient valve to use in a data center liquid cooling?
Elastomer hinge check valves are the most efficient for data center liquid cooling systems because they minimize pressure drops while maintaining peak efficiency. Compared to globe or poppet valves, elastomer hinge check valves allow nearly double the coolant flow using the same pumps.
How can you reduce pumping costs in data center direct-to-chip cooling?
Install an elastomer hinge check valve at the discharge of the liquid pump to reduce pumping costs. This design increases coolant flow with significantly less pressure drop, resulting in energy savings and optimal cooling performance.
How do you protect a coolant pump in a data center?
The most effective way to protect a coolant pump in a data center is to install an elastomer hinge check valve. These valves prevent backflow, maintain consistent pressure, and ensure reliable cooling, protecting the pump from damage.
