The Water Online Show: Mueller Water Products

As liquid cooling becomes more common in data centers, valves are taking on a more demanding role. Instead of simply opening or closing, they must maintain precise partial positions to regulate chilled water flow and protect high-performance servers. With thousands of isolation points inside a facility, even a small sizing, calibration, or installation error can create costly operational risk. Philip Morgan of Mueller explains why most failures are not caused by the valve itself, but by early sizing decisions, miscalibrated actuators, debris in the seat, or materials that do not match the cooling loop.

Learn why engineers should evaluate each valve according to its specific function and define body, disc, and seat materials during specification, rather than waiting until the bidding stage.
