Topic Don’t Sweat the Tech: The Critical Role of Valves in Data Center Cooling
Webinars
Data centers have existed for decades, but today’s compute density and AI workloads are pushing cooling systems harder than ever. Whether air-cooled, liquid-cooled, or immersion-based, performance depends on keeping heat under control—reliably, efficiently, and safely. In this session, SVF VP of Engineering Jay Saldana walks through modern data center cooling architectures and explains the “invisible infrastructure” behind uptime: valves, actuators, and controls. Attendees will learn where valves sit in each cooling method, what can go wrong when the wrong valve is selected, and how to choose the right solution based on media, temperature, pressure, material compatibility, and connection type. Key takeaways
- Cooling process overview: air, liquid, and immersion
- Where valves matter most (and why failures are costly)
- Recommended valve types by system architecture
- A simple selection checklist engineers can use immediately
