    SCALING FACILITY-SIDE INFRASTRUCTURE
    FOR HIGH-VOLUME, HIGH-DELTA LIQUID LOOPS

    Facility-level liquid cooling has evolved to support massive volumetric flows and elevated temperature differentials as operators move toward chiller-less or reduced-chiller designs, leveraging higher return temperatures for free cooling in suitable climates and enabling denser, MW-scale halls without proportional energy penalties.

     

    This requires robust, large-diameter, flexible hose assemblies for main supply/return lines between central plants and row/in-rack CDUs, alongside high-capacity pumps for efficient primary/secondary circulation, and quick-disconnect couplings for modular isolation points.

    ENABLING RELIABLE, LOW-MAINTENANCE FACILITY INTEGRATION
    WITH BELT-DRIVEN AND HOSE-BASED REDUNDANCY

    Data centers now prioritize operational resilience amid grid constraints and extreme utilization, and facility-side cooling is increasingly incorporating redundant power transmission belts to drive large fans, ensuring failover without mechanical slippage or downtime in high-reliability loops. Paired with flexible, kink-resistant hose assemblies for dynamic routing in modular or retrofitted plants, this approach facilitates quick reconfiguration of redundant paths, portable chiller tie-ins, or maintenance bypasses while maintaining tight pressure/flow control across long runs.

    DATA CENTER PUMPS

    Gates Data Center Pumps shine in facility-level and primary/facility water systems, delivering great flows for large-scale CDU primary loops and chiller interfaces. Their advanced axial flux motors provide more cooling efficiency than traditional designs while slashing energy use. The compact, high power-to-volume ratio enables seamless integration into facility infrastructure—outperforming generics in scalability, reliability, and thermal performance for massive AI/HPC heat rejection loads.

    AIR-COOLING SOLUTIONS

    Use Gates Poly Chain® GT™ Carbon™ or the Quad-Power™ 4 v-belt to drive the large pumps and fans that move coolant and air throughout the data center. Their primary advantage is eliminating the maintenance headaches of traditional roller chains. Unlike chains, they require no lubrication, meaning no oil mist or residue contaminating your data hall environment. The use of polyurethane or EPDM construction handles the high torque required for facility pumps while running cleaner and quieter to help meet NVH requirements.

    GENSETS

     

    Generator sets (gensets) are not just “backup engines” in data centers. They are a core element of the facility’s end-to-end power architecture, tightly integrated with UPS systems, switchgear, and redundancy strategies to meet stringent uptime requirements. Modern data center design treats gensets as long-duration, high-reliability power sources engineered for non-linear IT loads, fast transient response, and continuous operation under fault conditions, rather than traditional standby equipment. Choose a high-effienciency v-belt with the capacity and power density to handle the sustained loads of your data center operation.

    Yes. Poly Chain belts retrofit to existing fan drives using GT2 sprockets that match standard shaft dimensions. Megaflex hose replaces rubber hose or hard pipe using existing QD terminations. UQD couplings mate with industry-standard connectors.

    Generators idle for extended periods then must start under full load. Polyurethane construction doesn't take a set from sitting, won't corrode like stored chains, and requires zero maintenance during idle months.

    Chains require lubrication, generate oil mist that contaminates coils, stretch over time, and corrode during idle periods. Poly Chain belts run dry, require no lubrication, maintain constant tension, and dampen vibration.

    Our data center coupling families limit fluid loss to <0.2ml per disconnect cycle, enabling hot-swap servicing without system depressurization.

    Patented carbon fiber tensile cords provide higher horsepower rating than steel-reinforced belts. Operating range -54°C to +85°C. Polyurethane construction resists oil, ozone, and abrasion.

    Megaflex achieves a 1.1 to 1.5:1 bend radius to hose ID ratio. For a 1" hose, minimum bend radius is 1.5". This enables tight routing behind in-row units without kinking or flow restriction while maintaining UL94V-0 flame rating.

    Energy-efficient solutions, like Gates data center pumps and Quad-Power 4 belts, reduce energy use and operational costs.

    Hoses made with premium materials, like Gates MegaFlex technology, resist kinks, cracks, and aging, ensuring long-lasting performance.
