Stäubli TDU is a high-flow, non-leak quick connector designed specifically for high heat flux density applications. Featuring a unique ball valve design and patented interlock system, it achieves an excellent flow/pressure drop ratio while ensuring operator and equipment safety, making it an ideal choice for liquid cooling thermal management systems.
Key Features
- Full-flow ball valve structure, extremely low pressure drop
The straight-through ball valve design eliminates turbulence and achieves full flow of fluid media. The excellent internal structure delivers superior flow and pressure drop performance. - Hermaphroditic symmetrical design, flexible installation
TDU is a symmetrical coupling without male and female distinction. Both sides are identical in structure, and identical end connections can be used on both sides, facilitating quick replacement and inventory management. - Intuitive and simple operation
- No need to operate valves in a specific sequence.
- Self-rotation function at each coupling end prevents hose twisting.
- The rotating end can be locked using the supplied bolts if needed. In most cases, fixing the rotating end on one side is recommended for easier connection.
- Quick, easy, and safe connection
The locking system does not contact the fluid, allowing connection or disconnection even when one side is under pressure. - Completely safe operation
The patented design ensures safe use and intuitive operation: the valves open only when both sides are fully connected, and disconnection occurs only when both valves are fully closed.
