Custom-Engineered Cooling Manifolds for Liquid Cooling Systems
Modern data centers generate tremendous heat loads that traditional air cooling cannot effectively manage. Liquid cooling has emerged as the preferred solution for high-density computing environments, offering superior thermal transfer efficiency and reduced energy consumption compared to air-based systems. Our Streamline contract manufacturing division specializes in precision cooling manifold fabrication designed specifically for data center applications.
These custom cooling manifolds distribute coolant to multiple servers or racks from a single supply line, reducing installation complexity while maintaining precise flow control. Our engineering team works with your specifications to design manifolds that optimize coolant distribution based on your rack configuration and thermal loads. We manufacture these assemblies using materials selected for compatibility with your coolant chemistry and operating conditions, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding data center environments.
Each cooling manifold undergoes comprehensive testing before shipment. We verify flow distribution across all outlets, check for leaks under operating pressure, and confirm that pressure drop meets design specifications. Complete documentation accompanies every assembly, including detailed drawings, material certifications, and test reports. This documentation supports your commissioning process and provides reference material for future maintenance activities.
Precision Fluidic Components for Optimal Thermal Management
Effective liquid cooling systems depend on carefully selected components that work together to deliver consistent thermal performance. Our fluidic cooling product line addresses every aspect of liquid cooling infrastructure, from flow control and monitoring to reliable connections and filtration.
SMC JSX valves provide the precise flow control necessary for sophisticated cooling loop management. These valves maintain on/off or proportional coolant flow rates despite system pressure variations, ensuring uniform cooling across server racks. Their compact design saves valuable space in dense data center environments while delivering reliable performance under continuous operation.
Flow monitoring represents a critical capability for intelligent thermal management. SMC flow sensors deliver accurate real-time flow rate data across the typical ranges found in data center cooling loops, from individual blade server circuits to larger rack-level distribution systems. These sensors integrate seamlessly with building management systems, enabling automated flow optimization based on actual thermal loads and alerting operators to potential blockages or circulation issues before they impact cooling performance.
Quick disconnect fittings enable rapid maintenance and equipment upgrades without system downtime. Foster and Breco colored quick disconnects provide tool-free connections with visual coding that prevents incorrect connections during service activities. SMC KK couplers offer reliable, leak-free connections designed for the operating pressures and temperatures common in data center cooling applications. These fittings support various coolant types including water-glycol mixtures and dielectric fluids.
Ball valves throughout the cooling system enable isolation of individual circuits for maintenance while keeping the rest of the system operational. Our valve selection includes appropriately sized options for different loop configurations, from small branch circuits to main distribution lines. Proper valve placement in your cooling infrastructure minimizes the scope of shutdowns required for routine maintenance.
Strainers protect sensitive cooling components from particulate contamination that can reduce heat transfer efficiency or damage flow sensors and valve seals. Installing strainers at strategic points in your cooling loop captures debris before it reaches critical components, extending equipment life and maintaining optimal thermal performance.
Heat exchangers transfer thermal energy from server cooling loops to facility chilled water systems or dry coolers. Our heat exchanger selection includes options appropriate for different capacity requirements and temperature approaches, helping you achieve target supply temperatures while maximizing energy efficiency.
Tubing forms the circulatory system that connects all these components into a functional cooling infrastructure. We supply tubing materials compatible with your coolant chemistry and operating conditions, available in sizes appropriate for everything from individual server connections to main distribution headers.
