Denver, November 12 (Reuters/ PR Newswire ) – Gates Industrial Corporation Ltd. ( NYSE : GTES ) Today, Gates ThermalCool ™ 2100SS Pump was launched, expanding the company's portfolio of liquid cooling solutions for AI and high-density data center applications. This new stainless steel pump expands Gates's range of applications in data center cooling circuits, adding a specially designed active coolant circulation solution in addition to its fluid delivery and connection technologies.

Higher rack density is changing the placement of cooling equipment in data centers, as well as the space that can be occupied by it. Rack-mounted coolant distribution units ( CDU ) integrate coolant circulation within IT racks, which imposes strict requirements on the size and level of integration of each component. Gates developed the ThermalCool 2100SS Pump to meet these requirements, combining high output with a 4U-compatible design, and also integrating larger coolant flow rates with active cooling using motors. This product offers platforms that can be configured for different CDU architectures. These capabilities enable Gates to serve a wider range of data center coolant circulation applications, including those operating under high environmental temperatures.

Gates, General Manager of the Data Center, stated: "As data centers pack more computing power into each rack, CDU manufacturers face infrastructure challenges that the existing pumps are not designed to address. We developed the ThermalCool 2100SS Pump in response to the needs of a leading CDU manufacturer, working together as engineering partners to meet this emerging system requirement. This application-driven approach has ultimately led to a configurable platform that has surpassed its initial use case and entered the broader data center cooling market."

The main features of Gates ThermalCool 2100SS Pump include:

• High performance in a compact size: With a 4U-compatible design, the flow rate can reach up to 200 L/ min, and the pressure is 3 bar.
• Self-cooling architecture: Designed specifically for enclosed environments with limited air circulation or high ambient temperatures CDU, the motor features a unique dry electrical design and is actively cooled by a circulating coolant from a pump, eliminating the need for a separate cooling circuit or fan.
• Reliability design for data centers: Stainless steel structure, liquid-contact materials that meet the requirements of OCP, IP55 protection level, and a rated pump life of 50,000 hours, all contribute to supporting long-term reliable operation.
• Flexible and scalable integration: Configurable connection and installation options adapt to different CDU layouts, while parallel operation and N+1 redundancy help customers expand capacity and protect uptime. Communication between CANBUS and MODBUS supports integration with the CDU monitoring and control system.

ThermalCool 2100SS Pump has expanded the capabilities of Gates in data center cooling circuits, complementing its range of hoses, UQD, connectors, and engineering components. Gates indicates that these technologies together enhance the company's ability to assist customers in designing fluid pathways, covering all aspects from coolant circulation to rack-level connections and delivery. Gates ThermalCool 2100SS Pump is expected to be launched globally in early 2027.
