What role do pipeline fittings play in the liquid cooling industry, data centers, and AI computing power?

Pipeline fittings are the "skeleton" and "joints" of liquid cooling systems. They not only connect pipelines, but also precisely undertake five core functions: changing direction, distributing flow, connecting control, eliminating air resistance, and shock absorption positioning, directly affecting whether the system can operate safely and efficiently.

Pipeline fittings in liquid cooling systems mainly undertake basic functions such as connection, redirection, and diversion. Specifically, elbows and reducers are used to change the direction of the pipeline and adjust the diameter of the pipe; The three-way valve and distributor are responsible for distributing the coolant to multiple devices; Flanges and quick connectors are easy to disassemble and maintain, while quick connectors also take into account connection and disconnection; The exhaust valve is installed at a high point in the pipeline to remove bubbles and prevent air blockage; Filters are used to intercept impurities; The hose joints and clamps play a role in shock absorption and fixation. 304 or 316L stainless steel is commonly used for materials, and EPDM or PTFE is commonly used for seals. There are also standards such as T/CESA 1249.2-2023 in the industry to standardize requirements.
