Custom valves for every point in the liquid cooling loop

TLX Directto Chip

Cold plates at the CPU and GPU leave no margin for error. TLX valves meter coolant per rack or per blade with high-speed response and leak-resistant designs, delivering targeted flow that prevents hot spots without wasting pump energy.

TLX Cold Plate Cooling

Cold plate loops balance flow across dozens of parallel paths. TLX designs proportional and multi-port valves with high flow and low pressure drop, so the coolant pump works less and PUE (power usage effectiveness) improves.

TLX Closed Loop Cooling

Closed loops manage heat from multiple sources on one coolant budget. TLX discrete proportional valves reposition on a brief pulse and hold with zero power draw, directing flow where the heat is without adding to the energy bill.

TLX Immersion Cooling Icon

Dielectric fluids demand compatibility most valves were never designed for. TLX engineers valve materials and seals around the specific immersion fluid, single-phase or two-phase, balancing chemical resistance with flow performance.

TLX Evaporative Cooling

Facility-scale evaporative systems still come down to valves metering water reliably for years. TLX designs around the duty cycle, water quality, and service life the installation requires.

A leak near live hardware is measured in seconds. TLX integrates sensor feedback and supervised valve designs that confirm their own state and isolate a loop instantly when something goes wrong.

Dense electronics and lithium battery systems make suppression a design requirement, not an afterthought. TLX actuates fire suppression systems across agent types and pressures, with supervised valves engineered for mission-critical environments.

TLX designs custom valves tailored for your cooling system. Functionality, materials, and design are carefully balanced to meet your objectives, including:

Reduced Power Consumption

Advanced valve technologies, including latching designs that hold position with zero power draw, to maximize energy efficiency and improve data center PUE.

Better Performance

High flow and low pressure drop across every valve position, maximizing the coolant pump's efficiency and further reducing energy costs system-wide.

Dynamic Flow Control

High-speed valves with targeted coolant delivery, responding to shifting thermal loads in real time to prevent hot spots before they threaten hardware.

Corrosion Resistance

Material grade selections matched to your coolant chemistry, preventing erosion of internal valve components and flow paths while protecting coolant fluid purity.

Reliability

Leak-resistant designs validated through 100% end-of-line testing, engineered for a long, low-maintenance service life in systems that never get to stop running.

Flexible Integration

Custom designed to meet tight space constraints, with inlet, outlet, and connector options tailored to fit any liquid cooling system architecture.

TLX designs and develops custom solenoids and valves for the latest data center and server cooling applications, expertly engineered to your exact needs.

An Extension of Your Engineering Team

TLX engineers work alongside your team to design and produce custom solenoid valves and valve systems, engineered around your flow rates, fluid, footprint, and power budget rather than adapted from a catalog. From first conversations through production, your project gets direct access to our technical and engineering resources. One team, from start to finish.

Design options include:

  • Zero power draw
  • Multi-directional flow
  • 2-way, 3-way, 4-way
  • Custom inlet & outlet (hose size/connector type)
  • On-off, latching, or proportional control
  • Discrete proportional control
  • Diaphragm, spool & pilot-operated
  • Valve systems and manifolds
  • Sensor & feedback integration
  • Actuation solutions for fire suppression systems
