coolant temperature rise across the cold-plate (TCS) loop, OCP design guideline

~7.5–12 °C (typical 10 °C)recommendation

Value kindrecommendation — Recommendations are design guidance, not measured facts; validate them against the project boundary conditions.
ScopeOCP's OAI System Liquid Cooling Guidelines (3 March 2023 update, §1.3) recommend a 7.5–12 °C coolant-temperature rise for PG25 in OAI/OAM cold-plate systems, about 1.25–2.0 L/min per kW, with 10 °C and 1.5 L/min per kW as the typical design target. It is neither a facility-water delta-T nor a rack OEM's acceptance range; select the installed flow from the equipment schedule and approved fluid.
