The Universal Quick Disconnect (UQD) is a global standard for quick disconnect couplings developed within the OCP (Open Compute Project). UQD is an Intel initiative for open standard spill-free quick couplings for liquid cooling in data centers.
In this specification, the fluid connector is identified as the Universal Quick Disconnect (UQD), which is designed with interface dimensions to ensure compatibility universally on both plug and socket. It sets the performance standards for a fluid line connector that can be easily connected by hand, prevents drips, can be safely plugged in while hot, and is intended for use in Technology Cooling Systems (TCS) for electronics. The UQD reliably maintains a tight seal under pressure when connected and on both sides when disconnected. This product is used in noncombustible single phased systems.
