MF-DS · MF-BS
Manifold
The manifold is a water distribution and collection header for server liquid cooling, connecting the CDU to the cold plates of rack-mounted servers. It is available in quick-disconnect and blind-mate versions. It can be integrated into or externally connected to the cabinet frame, with branch flow selected according to server heat dissipation requirements.

Product features
- 304 stainless-steel main body, air vent and related components; EPDM hoses for corrosion resistance.
- Pipeline design targets branch-flow non-uniformity below 10%.
- Customized for server layout and multiple cabinet mounting methods.
- In-cabinet installation operable by one person.
- Server branch connectors use drip-free quick connections for installation and maintenance.
- Deionized-water rinsing, high-temperature gas drying and transport under 1.5 bar gas pressure for cleanliness.

Reference conditions & selection notes
- Slide 7 places branch configuration under the printed Material column and material under Number of Branches; the table above uses labels matching the actual cell content. Its printed Working Pressure column contains fluid names; no numeric working pressure is supplied.
- The slide 7 model series has standard 16-inlet/16-outlet configuration; slides 29–30 give separate typical engineering guidance of 20 branches. The typical guidance is not a rating for every MF model.
- The 30 × 30 / 40 × 40 / 50 × 50 source table does not print a dimension unit. The 33 × 33 mm example comes from slide 30.
