Gates is continuing to drive innovation for the data center cooling market with the upcoming launch of the Data Master Data Center Cooling Hose. This fluid conveyance solution, a result of Gates Eco-Innovation process, is a further expansion into data center liquid cooling applications which are a rapidly growing segment within data center cooling driven by compute-intensive applications such as Artificial Intelligence.

This latest innovation in Gates growing broad fluid conveyance portfolio has been specifically engineered for superior flexibility and increased compactness, providing easier and more efficient assembly, routing, and handling, all important requirements in the footprint-constrained data center market. Data Master hoses meet key industry application requirements, including the UL94V-0 and VW-1 flame resistance standards, and feature specialty-compounded materials that ensure cleanliness throughout the system, limiting fluid contamination which leads to fewer data center operational disruptions and maximizes uptime.

"As the demand for high-performance data centers grows, so too does the need for reliable, liquid cooling solutions that ensure optimal performance of IT infrastructure," said Michael Haen, vice president of product line management and global marketing. "Our new Data Master Data Center Cooling Hose is built upon our expertise in materials science, thermal management, and fluid conveyance across mission-critical applications. As a proud member of the Open Compute Project (OCP) we will stay close to the constantly evolving requirements in data center applications and will continue to focus our investments on innovative technologies to meet the evolving needs of data centers worldwide."
