Why SS316L Is the Default Material for Liquid Cooling Hardware

Why SS316L Is the Default Material for Liquid Cooling Hardware

If you have reviewed specs for liquid cooling components, you have seen it again and again: SS316L stainless steel. This is not random. Here is why. The difference is molybdenum. SS316L contains 2-3% molybdenum. SS304 does not. This single element dramatically improves resistance to: Chloride-induced pitting…

Cold Plate vs Immersion Cooling: Which Components Are Used

Cold plate cooling is the most common liquid cooling architecture in AI servers today. In this approach, a cold plate is mounted directly on heat-generating components—typically CPUs and GPUs—and coolant flows through internal channels to remove heat. The coolant is then transported to a…

What Is a UQD? Quick Disconnects in AI Data Center Cooling

If you have looked inside a modern AI server rack, you have likely noticed the small coupling points where coolant lines connect and disconnect. Those are quick disconnects. But what is a UQD? And more importantly, what goes into making one? This article explains…
