Liquid Cooling Connector Manufacturers & Supplier in United Kingdom

Standard hydraulic couplers are designed for high pressures (150–400 bar) where pressure drops of 10–30 kPa are acceptable. In contrast, liquid cooling circuits operate under low supply pressures (typically 1.5 to 3.5 bar). Our OCP-compliant UQD connectors feature streamlined internal poppets and wider annular flow paths that maximize the flow coefficient (Cv up to 1.8 for size 04 and 3.2 for size 06), ensuring pressure loss across the coupler remains under 2.0 kPa at nominal operating flows, minimizing pump power consumption.

For closed-loop water-glycol solutions (such as Dowfrost or 25% propylene glycol/deionised water), peroxide-cured EPDM is the global standard because it resists water swelling and degradation up to 125°C. If the system utilizes hydrocarbon-based immersion fluids or mineral oils, FKM (Viton) or synthetic fluorosilicone must be chosen, as standard EPDM degrades and expands rapidly when exposed to non-polar dielectric fluids.

Our UQDB blind-mate series incorporates a floating radial chassis mount mechanism. During cold-plate drawer insertion into the rack manifold, the male and female couplings tolerate radial misalignments of up to ±1.0mm and angular offsets of up to 2.0°. Chamfered entry funnels guide the mating coupler into exact coaxial alignment before internal poppets actuate, preventing lateral galling of internal O-rings.

Yes. All fluid connector ranges supplied into the United Kingdom comply with the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations (UKCA PED), BS EN ISO 9001 quality management standards, and the UK RoHS/REACH statutory instruments. Traceable material test reports (EN 10204 3.1) and batch helium leak verification certificates are provided with every shipment.

Standard catalog configurations (e.g., UQD02, UQD04, UQDB06 in BSPP or Metric threads) are held in quick-turn production batches, with evaluation samples dispatched via express courier to the UK within 3 to 5 business days. Production orders typically ship in 2 to 4 weeks depending on customized thread specifications, plating finishes, and quantity requirements.
