Pipes & Accessories
Pipes and pipe accessories are fundamental to data center infrastructure, forming the networks that transport cooling water, glycol solutions, and other process fluids essential for maintaining stable temperatures. Properly sized and routed pipes ensure efficient fluid flow, minimize pressure loss, and support reliable operation of chillers, heat exchangers, and cooling towers. Accessories such as elbows, tees, flanges, and couplings facilitate system layout flexibility and allow for smooth changes in direction, connection, or maintenance access.
In data centers, pipe materials like stainless steel, PVC/CPVC, and FRP are selected for chemical compatibility, corrosion resistance, and thermal performance. Accessories such as hangers, supports, and expansion joints prevent stress and vibration that could compromise system integrity. Together, pipes and their accessories provide a robust, adaptable framework that ensures continuous cooling, energy efficiency, and operational reliability in mission-critical environments.

Filter Housings
Filter housings are key components in data center fluid systems, providing secure enclosures for filters that remove particulates, debris, and contaminants from cooling water and process fluids. They ensure that pumps, valves, and heat exchangers operate efficiently by preventing clogging and reducing wear on critical equipment. Properly designed housings allow for easy filter replacement and maintenance without disrupting system operation, supporting continuous thermal management.
In data centers, filter housings are made from materials like stainless steel, FRP, or high-performance plastics for durability, chemical resistance, and long service life. Many include features such as pressure gauges, differential indicators, and quick-access covers to facilitate monitoring and maintenance. By protecting filters and enabling reliable fluid cleanliness, filter housings help maintain system efficiency, reduce downtime, and support the consistent, high-performance operation of mission-critical data center environments.

Gauges
Gauges are essential components in data center pipe systems, providing accurate measurement of pressure, temperature, and flow conditions across critical cooling and fluid-handling networks. They help operators monitor system performance, detect irregularities, and verify that pumps, valves, and heat exchangers are operating within design parameters. Proper gauge placement enables quick visual checks and supports early identification of potential issues such as leaks, blockages, or pressure loss.
In data centers, where thermal management and uptime are paramount, gauges ensure cooling water and process fluids remain within safe and efficient ranges. They are often integrated with digital sensors and controllers to provide continuous data to building management systems (BMS). Whether analog or digital, high-precision gauges contribute to reliability, system optimization, and preventive maintenance, helping maintain stable conditions for mission-critical operations.

Valves
Valves are critical components in data center pipe systems, controlling the flow, pressure, and direction of cooling water and process fluids. They enable precise regulation of liquid movement through pumps, heat exchangers, and chillers, ensuring stable thermal conditions for sensitive server equipment. Proper valve selection and placement support system efficiency, prevent overpressure, and allow isolation of sections for maintenance without disrupting overall operation.
In data centers, valves are often automated with actuators and integrated with building management systems for real-time control and monitoring. Common types include ball, gate, and butterfly valves, chosen for durability, chemical compatibility, and response speed. By facilitating accurate flow management and quick system adjustments, valves help maintain uptime, optimize energy use, and support reliable, continuous cooling in mission-critical environments.
