New CPC Solution Tackles Growing Liquid Cooling Needs for AI

Rhea-AI Summary

Dover's (NYSE:DOV) subsidiary CPC has unveiled the Everis® UQD06 Series connectors, a new liquid cooling solution specifically designed for AI computing applications. The product features a larger 3/8-inch flow path and joins CPC's universal quick disconnect (UQD) line targeting hyperscale AI, data centers, and high-performance computing.

According to Hyperion Research, liquid cooling adoption in HPC/AI sites is expected to increase from current two-thirds to nearly 80% within the next 12-18 months. The new solution addresses the growing demand for optimized cooling systems capable of handling the substantial heat generated by AI workloads.

Positive

• Introduction of innovative UQD06 Series connectors with larger 3/8-inch flow path for enhanced cooling capacity
• Strong market opportunity with liquid cooling adoption in HPC/AI expected to reach 80% in 12-18 months
• Strategic positioning as technology partner to leading chip manufacturers and cooling integrators

Negative

• Higher flow rates may require increased pumping capabilities, potentially affecting system design and energy efficiency

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CPC (Colder Products Company), part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a leading manufacturer of connection technologies used in liquid cooling of electronics, has developed a new solution to address growing liquid cooling needs in artificial intelligence (AI) computing.

Everis^® UQD06 Series connectors are designed specifically to handle AI's higher-flow liquid cooling requirements. The product is the latest in CPC's universal quick disconnect (UQD) line, which is purpose-built for hyperscale AI, data center and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

"The substantial heat generated by AI workloads requires new ways to optimize flow in liquid cooling systems," said Patrick Gerst, General Manager of CPC's thermal business unit. "With the UQD06 Series, CPC is building on our long track record of delivering much-needed solutions for efficient cooling. We remain focused on supporting AI's expansion and unique liquid cooling specifications through innovation at scale."

While higher flow rates alone can improve cooling, the industry is seeking optimized cooling. "Increased flow often requires higher pumping capabilities, which can affect overall system design and energy efficiency," said Gerst. "Increasing the connector's flow path size is one way to add flow capacity."

According to Hyperion Research, about two-thirds of HPC/AI sites have implemented some form of liquid cooling, with adoption expected to reach nearly 80% in the next 12-18 months. Flow rates within systems have also increased. The new Everis UQD06 quick disconnect brings a 3/8-inch flow path to the UQD family, which also includes 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch sizes. UQD06 connectors, like CPC's full UQD Series, reflect the company's focus on quality, including extensive parts testing, and patented technology for high-flow capacity.

"As a trusted technology partner to leading chip manufacturers and cooling integrators, we provide solutions that help protect mission-critical applications, particularly as AI continues to scale rapidly," says Michael Studer, Vice President of the CPC business unit.
