Gates launches ThermalCool 2100SS pump for liquid-cooled AI racks

Nov 12, 2026
The stainless steel pump fits rack-mounted coolant distribution units and is due globally in early 2027.

Gates Industrial has introduced the ThermalCool 2100SS, a pump for liquid cooling in AI and high-density data centers, the company announced. It is built for coolant distribution units mounted inside the server rack, where space is tight.

Gates says the pump delivers up to 200 liters per minute at 3 bar in a 4U-compatible size. Its motor is cooled by the coolant the pump already circulates, so it needs no separate cooling circuit or fan, and it is rated for 50,000 hours of operation. Gates developed it at the request of a coolant distribution unit maker it did not name. The pump adds to Gates' hoses, fittings and connectors for data center cooling and is expected to be available globally in early 2027.
