Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of liquid cooling systems, and more specifically, it relates to a PPH liquid cooling manifold for data centers. Background Technology

[0002] Data center liquid cooling systems are a technology used to cool data center equipment. By using liquid as the cooling medium, it can more efficiently remove the heat generated by equipment such as servers. The data center liquid cooling manifold, also known as a manifold, is a key component of the liquid cooling system.

[0003] A liquid cooling manifold is a piping system used for heat dissipation. As a key component connecting the coolant distribution unit (CDU) of a liquid-cooled server rack to the cold plate, it serves as a crucial bridge in the entire liquid cooling circulation path. Its main function is to efficiently distribute coolant, the cooling medium, to various servers or devices requiring cooling through specific piping design and structure. Simultaneously, it collects coolant returning from the equipment, lowering its temperature and ensuring the normal and stable operation of the equipment.

[0004] Currently, data center liquid cooling manifoids are made of stainless steel. This material is heavy, complex to process, and difficult to transport, resulting in high overall costs. Furthermore, impurities in the coolant can easily form scale on the inner wall of the stainless steel pipes, affecting heat transfer efficiency. Utility Model Content
