Product Features

- Designed together with OCP and complies with product specifications
.“Blind-connection” thanks to self- alignment feature with angular and radial compensation:
- +/- 5 mm of pure radial offset between the socket axis and the plug cup axis
- +/- 2.7° of angular offset
- Push-to-connect design
- Direct connection between servers and manifolds
- Static force to connect is max- 99.3 N
- Static force to connect dry is max- 66.71 N
- Dynamic force to connect is max - 120 N max @ 40 mm/sec
- Performance validated up-to 400 mm/sec
- High flow and reduced pressure drop for an improved system efficiency
- Flat-face dry break design to avoid spillage during connection/ disconnection
- High reliability and 100% helium-leak tested
- Danfoss unique patented centering mechanism- This allows end-user to use different types of hoses and a low force to connect-
- Standard material: 303 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance
- Standard seal material: EPDM for excellent fluid compatibility
- Terminal ends are ORB for socket part and hose tail for plug part
- Operating temperature: -40°C to +150°C
- Working pressure: 2.4 bar (OCP is checking to increase the pressure – work is in progress)

Overview

This blind mate valve design consists of a (1) socket valve and a (2) plug valve The socket threads intothe manifold and features a threaded stud and an 0-ring. The plug installs through a hole in a sheetmetal panel from the inside out at the rear of the lT chassis and is fixed in place with a panel nut. Notethat the valve will ship with dust covers on both ends of each valve.

The valve pair can accommodate radial misalignment as well as combination of radial and angularmisalignment within a defined zone. The socket valve features a cone to gather and align the pair asthey connect.
