Today’s data centers rely on efficient liquid cooling to keep servers, racks, and critical infrastructure operating within precise temperature ranges. Gates peroxide-cured hoses and assemblies deliver the clean, flexible, high-performance fluid transfer required for demanding cooling applications. With R/W Connection, customers gain more than product access; they receive knowledgeable support, custom hose assembly capabilities, and dependable service for mission-critical environments.
Cooling Demands in Modern Data Centers
As rack density increases, data centers need fluid conveyance solutions that are clean, reliable, and easy to route through tight spaces. Cooling loops must help prevent hotspots, limit contamination, and reduce the risk of system downtime. Standard hose options may not provide the cleanliness, flexibility, or routing performance required in advanced liquid cooling systems.
Gates Peroxide-Cured Hose & Assemblies
Gates peroxide-cured hose solutions are designed for high-performance cooling applications where fluid purity and durability matter. The zinc-free, peroxide-cured EPDM tube helps reduce the risk of metallic contamination and coolant breakdown, making it a strong choice for glycol mixtures, deionized water, and other fluids commonly used in data center cooling systems.
Flame-resistant covers with UL VW-1 and UL94V-0 ratings also help support safety requirements in critical facilities where performance and compliance are essential.
R/W Connection can supply Gates hose assemblies built to your specifications, including fitting selection, crimping, assembly fabrication, and quality-focused support. This helps reduce installation complexity and minimizes the uncertainty of assembling hoses in the field.
