    10 Tips for Specifying QDs

    September 14, 2023

    Overview

    It’s well known that poorly designed thermal management systems can result in suboptimal performance or system failure. What isn’t as well understood are the material properties and myriad calculations that all need to be taken into consideration when developing a high-performing liquid cooling system -- or the role that quick disconnects play in supporting reliability, uptime, ease of maintenance and system performance. It’s complicated but it doesn’t need to be confusing.

     

    CPC’s Application Engineering Manager, Andres Abraham provides tips and insights that will help engineers understand which types of quick disconnects (and other components) are suited for liquid cooling systems. And he will describe how fluid selection decisions should impact the specification of subcomponents in connectors and other system parts in the wetted loop.

     Attendees will learn:

    • The variety of fluids that are considered for liquid cooling and their associated pros/cons and how these choices should influence other specifications
    • The importance of flow performance vs product dimension for comparison and selection
    • How and why quick disconnect features such as valve type and termination style impact system flow and pressure
    • Which connector styles are well suited for use as part of complex manifold systems
    • When to engage manufacturer engineering teams for custom solutions or assistance with advice for swift application development
    • The operational and ease of use benefits of different styles of quick disconnect products
    • Why liquid cooling system subcomponent materials of construction matter (metals, polymers, elastomers, etc.)
    • How to reference performance data for liquid cooling system optimization
