The Overlooked Critical Link: How CDU Stainless Steel Pipe Straightening Determines the Reliability of Liquid-Cooled Data Centers ?

As NVIDIA’s AI computing platforms—such as the GB200 and Vera Rubin—fully transition to liquid cooling, per-rack power has surged from tens of kilowatts to the megawatt level, making the CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) the “heart” of modern intelligent computing centers.
What keeps this heart beating steadily are the stainless steel cooling pipes running throughout and around the racks. These seemingly unremarkable pipes are precisely what determine the delivery quality of liquid cooling projects. They carry high-pressure, high-flow coolant circulation, and any deviation in pipe diameter, bending deformation, or misaligned joints can lead to abnormal pressure drops, seal failures, and assembly difficulties. High-precision straightening is the first critical gateway in CDU piping manufacturing.
