Safety tests

Test Background

As the control center of the liquid cooling system, the CDU integrates pumps, heat exchangers, and electrical control units. It operates at high pressure and has a large electrical load. Its safety performance is directly related to the safety of personnel and equipment in the entire data center.

Test Introduction

The CDU safety tests cover core items such as pressure resistance tests, over-pressure and leakage protection, and leakage detection, aiming to verify the safety protection capabilities of the CDU under extreme working conditions and fault modes.

Testing Objectives

Verify the structural integrity of pressure-bearing components under high pressure

Ensure the reliable operation of electrical protection devices

Detect micro-leaks and issue timely alarms

Meet the requirements of UL/EN/IEC safety certifications

Test Standards

T/CESA 1249.3-2023 Technical specification for cooling capacity distribution units

EN/UL 62368-1 Safety standard

GB/T 42880-2023 Data center safety specification

Applicable Products/Related Fields

Suitable for various types of liquid-cooled data center CDUs, rack-mounted CDUs, cabinet-type CDUs, and cold-station CDUs.

Test Content

FAQ
Q: How should the opening pressure of the CDU safety valve be set?
A: It is usually set to 1.15 times the rated working pressure to ensure timely pressure relief in case of over-pressure while avoiding false actions.
