When the power of data center cabinets exceeds 20kW or even higher, traditional air cooling is no longer able to cope. Heat has become the ultimate bottleneck restricting computing performance. At this time, liquid cooling system becomes an inevitable choice

I. Liquid Cooling Systems: Why Are They Needed?

Liquid cooling is a heat dissipation technology that utilizes liquid to directly or indirectly contact a heat source, thereby more efficiently removing heat. Its core advantage lies in the fact that liquids have a much higher thermal conductivity and heat capacity than air.

Core Functions: Removes extremely high amounts of heat: Handles the kilowatt-level heat dissipation requirements of GPU/CPU chips. Significantly reduces the PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of data centers, resulting in energy savings. Enables more compact server designs and more concentrated computing power deployment.

Main Application Industries: Large-scale data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence training, edge computing.

Currently, the mainstream equipment form is: cold-plate liquid-cooled servers (where the chip is in contact with a cold plate); the cutting-edge trend is immersion liquid cooling (where the equipment is directly immersed in the coolant).

Common Media: Cold-plate systems widely use water-based coolants (usually a mixture of deionized water and ethylene glycol/propylene glycol).

Stringent Requirements for Piping: Absolute Reliability: Must achieve “zero leakage” for several years.

Material stability: When immersed in coolant for extended periods, it will not swell, age, or leach harmful substances.

Dynamic environmental tolerance: It can withstand periodic temperature changes, minor system vibrations, and long-term pressure.

II. Not all piping systems can meet these challenges. Based on our extensive experience in fluid connections, we offer the following solutions:

① Main Recommendation: High-performance EPDM rubber hoses, SAE J20R1, SAE J20R3

Structure Customization Available:
Inner and Outer Layers: Made entirely of EPDM rubber, optimized for water-based coolants to ensure long-term compatibility.

Reinforcing Layer: High-strength fiber braid or aramid braid, providing pressure resistance and shape stability.

Features:
* Achieves a perfect balance between flexibility and reliability, facilitating cabling installation in confined server spaces; withstands various stresses during system operation.

* Proven: EPDM hoses have passed independent third-party breakdown voltage testing certification, adding an extra layer of security for data center operations.

* Excellent Environmental Adaptability: Can operate continuously in a range of -40°C to +150°C, fully meeting the temperature requirements of cold plate liquid cooling systems.

② Extreme Performance: PTFE (Teflon) Hose, SAE 100 R14 Series

Structure: PTFE inner layer, high chemical stability, corrugated or straight options available; Typically covered with a stainless steel braided layer for enhanced pressure resistance.

Features:
*Superior temperature and chemical resistance: Can withstand temperatures from -80°C to +260°C for extended periods, resisting corrosion from almost all chemical media.

*Extreme cleanliness and low permeability: Smooth inner wall, non-adsorbent, non-leaching, low permeability.

③ Specific Matching: NBR Hose (for oil-based coolants)

Uses NBR/CR as inner and outer layers, its greatest characteristic being excellent resistance to oil media.

Reliable fluid transmission is always the cornerstone of system stability. In this profound revolution of liquid cooling, we leverage our deep understanding of material properties and system requirements to provide complete solutions from mainstream EPDM hoses to specialty PTFE pipes, taking responsibility for every meter of piping we deliver.

Due to logistics and production scheduling disruptions before the Spring Festival, if you require shipments around the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival), we suggest you plan ahead so we can arrange production and delivery appropriately for you.

In the New Year of 2026, we promise to continue providing stable and reliable product quality and efficient and timely service to fully support your business development. We look forward to working with you to embark on a new journey and create more value together!
