Danfoss Power Solutions has launched Danfoss Hansen UQD
May 2023 by Marc Jacob

Danfoss Power Solutions has launched a new family of universal quick disconnect couplings for data center liquid cooling applications. The Danfoss Hansen? UQD couplings help data center operators meet the thermal management challenges of more powerful chips, denser racks, and heavier workloads through reliable, leak-free, efficient operation.

Engineered for the precision cooling requirements of modern data centers, UQD couplings are ideal for in-rack liquid cooling applications that use smaller hose lines. With a 25% higher flow rate than Open Compute Project community standards and a low pressure drop, the couplings’ best-in-class performance improves system efficiency and reduces in-rack power consumption, enabling data center operators to benefit from long-term cost savings. Danfoss UQD couplings also drive a strong return on investment through robust design, long service life, and lower maintenance requirements.

Constructed from stainless steel with an EPDM rubber seal, Danfoss UQD couplings offer high corrosion resistance and broad fluid compatibility. The couplings are designed to operate at a wider range of temperatures and significantly greater working pressures than the Open Compute Project standard. These capabilities help extend the service life of the couplings and ensure no impact on cooling performance during pressure spikes.

With a flat face dry-break design, Danfoss UQD couplings are ideal for use with servers and other highly critical applications that demand 100% uptime and leak-free operation. Even if connections aren’t properly made during assembly or maintenance, the couplings are designed to minimize any risk of leaks that can cause costly damage, downtime, and safety issues. As an additional safety measure, every coupling is helium leak tested.

Danfoss UQD couplings are available in four sizes, as well as various terminal ends and thread configurations. Two color options are available to minimize the risk of misconnection while reducing assembly and maintenance time. In addition, the couplings are engineered to enable quicker and easier maintenance with a push-to-connect design and best-in-class force to connect, both of which allow for convenient, tool-free connection and disconnection with one hand.
