Buy STAUFF QRC-FR push-to-connect couplings for liquid cooling systems

The QRC-FR series of push-to-connect couplings from STAUFF have been specially developed for the requirements of modern liquid cooling systems, such as those used in high-performance IT systems, telecommunications, broadcasting and electronic amplifiers. As processors, GPUs and RF amplifiers today generate enormous heat loads, air-cooled systems are increasingly reaching their limits. Liquid cooling systems provide a remedy here - provided that all components of the cooling circuit work absolutely safely and reliably.

This is exactly what the QRC-FR push-to-connect couplings stand for: They ensure permanently tight, robust and reliable connections in sensitive cooling systems where leaks or malfunctions could have serious consequences.

Materials and design

The couplings in the QRC-FR series are designed for demanding liquid cooling circuits and are made of high-quality, durable materials:

  • Stainless steel housing (e.g. 1.4305, 1.4310) for maximum corrosion resistance

  • EPDM gaskets with high chemical resistance

  • Precision-manufactured sealing systems for permanently leak-free operation

  • Compact, slim design for limited installation space

  • High media resistance for water-glycol mixtures and comparable coolants

The robust design ensures reliable operation even with vibrations, temperature fluctuations and dynamic pressure conditions.

Product variants and technical features

The QRC-FR series is available in different variants and connection geometries and comprehensively covers the requirements of modern electronic cooling systems.

Key technical data:

  • Nominal diameter: DN 10 (3/8")

  • Nominal flow rate: 10 l/min

  • Maximum operating pressure: 3.5 bar (coupled / uncoupled)

  • Temperature range: -30 °C to +100 °C

  • Media compatibility: optimised for water-glycol mixtures

  • Versions: various connection geometries available

  • Special features: extremely compact design, high corrosion resistance, long service life

Applications and areas of use

The QRC-FR series push-to-connect couplings are used in a wide variety of cooling applications, particularly where high thermal loads and compact designs come together:

  • Liquid-cooled cooling distribution units (CDUs) in data centres

  • Radio and broadcasting electronics

  • Semiconductor and tube-based HF amplifiers

  • Server and GPU clusters

  • IT infrastructures with high-density hardware

  • Telecommunications systems and network technology

They are suitable for all scenarios in which precisely controlled and absolutely reliable liquid cooling is essential.

Advantages and unique selling points

The QRC-FR series offers a number of technical advantages that make it the ideal solution for demanding electronic cooling systems:

  • Leak-free design protects highly sensitive electronics

  • Chemical resistance to typical cooling media

  • Extremely compact dimensions for tight installation spaces

  • High operational reliability thanks to precise manufacturing

  • Low maintenance thanks to reliable sealing systems

  • Ideal for dynamic applications with changing temperatures and loads

  • Quick installation and secure locking

The series shows that STAUFF couplings also fulfil the highest requirements outside of classic hydraulic systems.

Individual customisation options

STAUFF offers additional options for project-specific fluid cooling systems:

  • alternative seals (e.g. other elastomers)

  • Special housing materials

  • Customised connection dimensions

  • Solutions for special media or extreme temperature ranges

Many liquid cooling systems - especially in the IT infrastructure - are customised. The QRC-FR series can be customised to meet precisely these requirements.
