Abstract
In a liquid cooling system comprising cold plates attached to their respective circuit modules, quick couplers are provided for connecting flexible hoses to these cold plates, a supply duct and a return duct to form strings of cold plates connected between the supply duct and the return duct. Valved quick couplers are used for the connection to the supply duct and the return duct, and valveless quick couplers are used for the connection to the cold plates. When a circuit module is to be serviced, a desired string of cold plates is disconnected from the supply duct and the return duct by disjoining the valved quick couplers for the connection thereto. The disconnected string of cold plates is drained of the coolant, and then the cold plate attached to the desired circuit module is disconnected from the hoses. Subsequently the desired circuit module and the cold plate attached thereto can be detached as one body from an associated connector.
