FAQs

Common Questions

Most closed-loop systems operate on a propylene glycol and deionized water mixture with corrosion inhibitors. We provide coolant specifications and can qualify alternative fluids based on facility water chemistry and operating temperature targets.

Standard CDUs, manifolds, and RDHx units typically ship within 4–6 weeks. Custom rack-level solutions follow a design and approval cycle before production, with phased delivery options for fast-track deployments.

Yes. Rear door heat exchangers are specifically designed to replace or supplement standard rack doors, making them ideal for retrofit installations without major facility construction.

CDUs can be configured with N+1 redundant pumps, dual power feeds, and backup controllers. Manifold and hose assemblies can be built with redundant loops and isolation valves for serviceability.
