DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CPC
(Colder Products Company), part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and maker
of quick disconnects (QDs) designed specifically for liquid cooling
of electronics, has expanded its BLQ Series with the new Everis™
BLQ6 blind mate connector. The Everis BLQ6 latchless connector
achieves 3/8″ flow and a Cv of ~2.2 for high-performance liquid
cooling. Specifically designed for rack and panel configurations,
the chamfer design and connection tolerances are ideal for
applications where operators have obstructed views to connections
and disconnections yet still require connection assurance.

"Made of anodized aluminum, these lightweight and robust
connectors feature the same patent-pending valve configuration as
our existing LQ and BLQ lines of products," said Adan Ramirez, Associate Product Manager, CPC.
"Reliability is of utmost importance given the proximity to
processors, and CPC designed the Everis BLQ6 to provide maximum
flow and with a dependable connection. The Everis BLQ6 is ideal for
applications where the connection, disconnection and latching
mechanism are maintained on a mounted server assembly."
The Everis BLQ6 quick disconnect is the third series of blind
mate configurations in the BLQ Series portfolio. It follows the
BLQ4 and the BLQ2 quick disconnect couplings, which launched in
2019.
"Like the predecessor BLQ4 and BLQ2 products, the BLQ6 connector
is designed to optimize flow. With its larger size, impressive Cv
and subsequent contribution to cooling ability, it enables system
designers to increase their power and/or density," said
Ramirez.
CPC quick disconnects are known for being robust, reliable and
non-spill. The new Everis BLQ6 blind mate options offer secure
liquid cooling connections, which are a necessary feature as
misaligned or incomplete connections could result in damage to
electronic equipment. Like the other products in the Everis LQ
portfolio, the new Everis BLQ6 quick disconnect's multi-lobed seals
provide redundant protection against leakage and lasting shape
retention during extended periods of connection. Multi-lobe seals
also deliver greater sealing efficiency than standard o-rings while
requiring less force to connect. The Everis BLQ6 connector valve
design has zero seal friction in the connected state, ensuring the
valve closes quickly and reliably when the coupling is
disconnected. This non-spill design allows disconnection under
pressure without drips, protecting electronics from exposure to
fluid and enabling hot swapping of equipment.
Additionally, the Everis BLQ6 blind mate couplings are available
with an optional panel mounting kit. When the connector is set into
place within the specified panel or blade orifice, the steel rings
in the kit slide over the end and snap into place, providing
additional stability of the coupling in the assembly during
production. The optional mounting kit serves the body and/or
insert, so there is no need to track pairing parts.
The BLQ6 is CPC's first product to bear the trademark name
Everis. Everis was created to distinguish which connectors within
CPC's product portfolio are designed and built specifically for
liquid cooling applications. The attributes of Everis branded
products take into consideration everything from material
composition to valve design.
"CPC chose to develop the liquid cooling product nomenclature to
help designers easily identify the best option for their needs
among CPC's broad portfolio," says Beth Ann
Wegener, Senior Marketing Communications Manager, CPC. "In
markets where customers are faced with the option of choosing
between industrial couplers, never intended to be used alongside
delicate electronics, and purpose-built liquid cooling connectors,
we believe this nomenclature will simplify their choices and
improve their ability to specify appropriate couplings for their
applications. The Everis name connotes strength, durability and
technical expertise."
In the coming weeks and months, the Everis name will be applied
to CPC's existing liquid cooling connector product lines and used
in conjunction with all new quick disconnect products being brought
to market for thermal management applications.
