# Cooling Outflows
|
|
|
|
A cooling outflow is a device component which delivers coolant to a downstream [cooling intake](./coolingintake.md), and generally represents an outlet on a coolant distribution unit (CDU) or manifold. A cooling outflow may optionally be associated with an upstream cooling intake on the same device for path tracing.
|
|
|
|
A cooling outflow is a **supply** point on the cold, coolant-distribution side of a loop: it passes coolant onward to downstream equipment. It does **not** represent the return of warmed coolant back to the cooling source. The return path is not modeled per-component; instead, a single [cooling feed](./coolingfeed.md) represents the entire loop, covering both the supply (cold) and return (warm) paths.

|
!!! tip
|
|
Like most device components, cooling outflows are instantiated automatically from [cooling outflow templates](./coolingoutflowtemplate.md) assigned to the selected device type when a device is created.

|
|
## Fields
|
|
|
|
### Device
|
|
|
|
The device to which this cooling outflow belongs.
|
|
|
|
### Module
|
|
|
|
The installed module within the assigned device to which this cooling outflow belongs (optional).
|
|
|
|
### Name
|
|
|
|
The name of the cooling outflow. Must be unique to the parent device.
|
|
|
|
### Label
|
|
|
|
An alternative physical label identifying the cooling outflow.
|
|
|
|
### Connector Type
|
|
|
|
The physical coolant connector type (e.g. UQD, UQDB, QDC, camlock, or threaded NPT/BSP).
|
|
|
|
### Diameter
|
|
|
|
The connector diameter, expressed as a numeric value with a selectable unit (millimeters, centimeters, or inches). Must be a positive, non-zero value in the selected unit, or left blank.
|
|
|
|
### Cooling Intake
|
|
|
|
The upstream [cooling intake](./coolingintake.md) on the same device which feeds this outlet (optional).
