What Is A Data Center Liquid Cooling Valve?

A water cooling Valve is a small valve installed via a threaded connection, primarily used to control the flow of fluid within a pipeline. Its core structure comprises a cooling water Valve body, a gate disc, a stem, and a threaded connection. Rotating a handwheel raises and lowers the Valve cooling system stem, allowing the wedge-shaped or parallel gate disc to engage tightly with the water cooling Valve seat, thereby blocking or conducting the flow. Compared to flange connections, threaded designs eliminate the need for complex alignment, making installation easier and particularly suitable for small-diameter piping systems with limited space, such as those in household water supply, HVAC, or low-pressure industrial equipment.

This Valve cooling is typically constructed of cast iron, brass, or stainless steel. The internal sealing surface can be made of elastic materials such as rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene, or welded with carbide for enhanced wear resistance. It is suitable for common media such as water, oil, and steam, as well as for generally corrosive environments. The compact and cost-effective threaded connection offers economical and practical advantages in low-pressure, low-flow applications, such as control nodes in bathroom fixtures, small pump inlets and outlets, and instrumentation lines. Manual operation is simple and reliable, and disassembly for maintenance is easy. However, due to thread strength limitations, this cooling Valve is more suitable for applications with lower nominal pressures (e.g., PN 16 and below) and moderate temperatures. When selecting a Valve data center, consider the media characteristics, pipe size, and operating environment to ensure long-term sealing and durability.
