The digital world runs on data centers, and as computing power grows, so does the heat they generate. Without proper cooling, performance declines, energy bills rise, and critical hardware can be compromised. To maintain efficiency and protect uptime, operators need to look at the very core of their cooling infrastructure: the pump.
At Summers Rubber, we partner with leading manufacturers like Gates to bring our customers advanced solutions for data center cooling. The Gates ThermalPro™ Electric Water Pump is specifically designed to improve flow, cut energy use, and enhance system reliability across both air-cooled and liquid-cooled environments. These pumps integrate seamlessly into Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) and direct-to-chip cooling systems, giving facilities a performance edge.
Technical Advantages of Gates ThermalPro™ Pumps
1. Efficiency That Saves Energy
By leveraging axial flux motor technology, ThermalPro™ pumps deliver up to 25% more efficiency compared to conventional designs. This improvement means lower energy draw without sacrificing coolant flow—reducing operating costs over time.
2. High-Density Cooling Capability
Data centers running GPU clusters, AI-driven workloads, or compact blade servers generate extreme heat. ThermalPro™ pumps are engineered to handle these conditions, enabling greater heat transfer in tight spaces.
3. Scalable Solutions for Every Facility
- Low Power (<30W): Delivers flow rates up to ~20 L/min
- Mid Power (30–100W): Supports flow rates up to ~35 L/min
- High Power (100–2500W): Provides up to ~400 L/min
From small-scale setups to enterprise-grade facilities, there’s a ThermalPro™ pump sized for your needs.
4. Built-In Intelligence for Reliability
Onboard sensors track cavitation, air bubbles, blockages, and low coolant levels—alerting operators before issues cause downtime.
5. Designed for Durability
Reinforced seals and isolated weep holes minimize common leak risks, while compatibility with both glycol-based and dielectric coolants makes them suitable for even immersion cooling systems.
6. Compact, Installation-Friendly Design
Flat, lightweight housings allow easy integration into crowded CDU cabinets and server racks without sacrificing output.
Solving Data Center Cooling Challenges
- Space constraints? The axial flux design provides maximum performance in a compact footprint.
- Rising energy costs? High motor efficiency reduces total system draw.
- Leak concerns? Advanced sealing and design features prevent failures and improve uptime.
- Varied power requirements? Pumps operate across 12V to 800V, making them adaptable to a wide range of systems.
At Summers Rubber, we understand that cooling pumps are not just components—they’re essential to system performance. By offering Gates ThermalPro™ Electric Water Pumps, we help data centers operate with greater reliability, scalability, and efficiency.
