Precision Control. Reliable Performance. Powering AI Potential

Publication Date:2026-01-31

With the rapid development of AI, large-scale models, and high-performance computing, data center power density continues to rise, making liquid cooling systems a critical infrastructure for ensuring stable computing power output. In this context, the precision, stability, and reliability of flow regulation within liquid cooling systems have become key factors influencing system safety and computing efficiency.

In response to the stringent requirements of data center liquid cooling systems for high-precision control, zero-leakage safety, cleanliness, and high-density installation, TigerIoT officially launches its Stainless Steel Clamp Ball Valve. Purpose-built for data center liquid cooling applications, this product delivers stable, secure, and sustainable flow control for AI computing systems.

Within liquid cooling systems, control valves serve as critical execution nodes for coolant flow regulation. Their control accuracy and operational reliability directly determine cold plate temperature stability. Insufficient control resolution can amplify flow fluctuations into temperature disturbances, ultimately triggering chip throttling and power limitations—posing hidden risks to computing performance.

The newly released stainless steel clamp ball valve features a floating ball structure combined with a bidirectional sealing system, achieving true bidirectional zero-leakage shutoff. In liquid cooling systems, leakage equates to system-level risk; this design effectively prevents seepage, pressure loss, and coolant contamination, significantly enhancing overall system safety.

To address the fact that liquid cooling load variations are primarily concentrated in low-flow operating regions, the valve adopts an equal-percentage flow characteristic with a turndown ratio greater than 100:1. It delivers high-resolution control at low opening positions while maintaining stable response at high flow rates, effectively avoiding over-adjustment, oscillation, and control instability.

In terms of cleanliness and material compatibility, the valve body, ball, and all internal components undergo strict degreasing and oil-removal treatment to suppress organic residues and particulate release. A liquid-cooling-specific sealing system, such as EPDM, is applied and validated through multi-media compatibility testing, enabling long-term stable operation in mainstream liquid cooling media including deionized water, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, fluorinated fluids, and silicone-based dielectric liquids. The valve’s internal cavity features a high-gloss, mirror-finish surface, effectively reducing particle adhesion and precipitation while protecting cold plate microchannel structures.

To meet the challenges of high spatial density, short maintenance windows, and high downtime costs in data centers, the product adopts an ISO 2852 standard clamp connection, enabling rapid installation and removal, minimal space requirements, and low connection stress—significantly improving on-site maintenance efficiency. The actuator supports 0–10 V / 0–20 mA control signals and includes a signal-loss position-hold function, maintaining the valve’s current position during signal failure to prevent sudden flow fluctuations. Its compact structural design makes it well suited for high-density installation environments.

In data center liquid cooling systems, the stainless steel clamp ball valve is not merely a valve component, but a critical control node connecting computing efficiency, system safety, and long-term operational stability. Through quantifiable precision metrics and verifiable reliability design, TigerIoT continues to provide a solid liquid cooling control foundation for AI computing systems, supporting the evolution of data centers toward higher efficiency and greater stability.
