Data center water-cooling heat pipe cooling system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a data center water-cooling heat pipe cooling system and method. The system and the method aim to overcome the defects that the cooling efficiency is low and the air-conditioning power consumption is large in the using process of a data center in the prior art. The cooling system partitions a data center into an upper equipment cabinet space and a lower refrigerating space through an elevated floor. Equipment cabinets are arranged in columns. Closed cold channels and closed hot channels are sequentially formed among the equipment cabinets in a repeated mode. A hot pipe heat exchange unit is arranged in the corresponding equipment cabinet lower refrigerating space and exchanges heat with a chilled water unit through a cold liquid distributor. As the hot pipe heat exchange unit does not occupy the equipment cabinet space, the equipment cabinet density can be improved; meanwhile, by closing the cold channels and the hot channels, the equipment cabinets are directly cooled, the air inlet temperature of a hot pipe is improved, the refrigerating efficiency is improved, the energy-saving effect is achieved, and the system is suitable for the environment like a data center machine room where heat needs to be dissipated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a data center water-cooled heat pipe cooling system and method. Background technique [0002] With the upgrading and development of modern information technology, the demand for data centers is growing rapidly. At the same time, the limitation of urban construction land is forcing data centers to improve space utilization. Data centers are developing in the direction of high density and high cooling load. [0003] The equipment inside the data center generates a lot of heat and needs to be cooled throughout the year. In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment in the computer room, the cooling system needs to run continuously throughout the year. The cooling system has become the main power consumption equipment of the data center, and its energy consumption accounts for nearly 40% of the total energy consumption of the data center. Reducing the energy consumption of the cooling system not only meets the...
