CPC quick disconnects for data-center liquid cooling

Where it fits in an AI server rack

Dover’s FY2025 10-K says its Pumps & Process Solutions businesses, which make fluid transfer connectors, serve thermal management “including liquid cooling of server racks and chips in data centers,” with R&D on data-center cooling applications supporting AI investment; its brazed plate heat exchangers (SWEP) see a growing data-center opportunity. NVIDIA named CPC (Colder Products Company, a Dover subsidiary per its Exhibit 21) among Blackwell partners (Oct 2024).

What the evidence establishes

AI-rack evidence

Partner-disclosed: NVIDIA’s Oct 2024 OCP post names CPC, which Dover’s 10-K Exhibit 21 lists as a subsidiary; the 10-K describes connectors used in liquid cooling of server racks.

An explicit AI-server or AI-rack product, design-in, supply role, program, reference design or partnership, such as a part named for rack-scale AI systems or a product sold for AI data centers. For a rack builder, it means the company’s own AI servers or racks. This does not establish revenue, market share, volumes or future sourcing.

Keep in perspective

Dover does not break out data-center revenue or name customers, and the 10-K does not name CPC’s products (cpcworldwide.com blocked automated access). SWEP heat exchangers are not mapped to a part.

Diversified business exposure. This describes the breadth or role of the business; it is not an investment rating. An AI-server product, design-in or partnership does not by itself establish material AI-rack revenue, market share, or future returns.

Connections to the assembly

These links explain the technology relationship. The model is illustrative and does not represent an actual manufacturer’s bill of materials.

Quick disconnects

Dripless couplings at each tray connection. They seal both sides when unplugged, so a tray can be removed without draining the loop.

Scope of the company links: Fositek says its UQDs entered the GB200/GB300 supply chain and passed Rubin testing (2025 annual report); Envicool says NVIDIA listed its UQDs (OCP 2024) and its UQDs and MQDs (OCP 2025) among MGX ecosystem partners; Auras shows quick disconnects in its AI liquid-cooling line-up; Amphenol markets UQD, UQDB, BMQC and MQD couplings for AI data-center liquid cooling; Dover’s CPC is an NVIDIA-named Blackwell partner and Dover’s 10-K cites connectors for liquid cooling of server racks; JetCool (Flex) offers manifolds and quick disconnects. Parker was not verified as a quick-disconnect supplier in our sources, and Nidec’s quick couplings are made for its own CDUs. Stäubli and Danfoss, both NVIDIA-named, are private. Luxshare lists blind-mate quick connectors for AI racks.
