[0002] At present, cold plate liquid cooling servers are more popular than immersion servers due to their economical R&D costs and convenient maintenance, and have become the first choice for data center cooling structures. Because the server cost is high and the server cold plate flow channel is small, and in order to reduce the overall construction cost and facilitate water quality management, liquid cooling data centers use a dual-circulation water system of primary and secondary pipe networks; the primary pipe network includes a pipeline system from the cold distribution unit to the cooling tower or other external cooling equipment, which is mainly responsible for transferring heat from the secondary pipe network to the external environment to achieve heat discharge of the entire liquid cooling system; the secondary pipe network is mainly responsible for transporting cooling water from the cold distribution unit to the liquid cold plate or cold plate inside the server to achieve heat dissipation of high heat density components inside the server.
[0003] However, since pollutants often appear in the circulation pipeline of the secondary side pipeline network during the manufacturing or welding construction process, the water quality in the circulation pipeline will deteriorate and change color after circulating for a period of time, reducing the heat dissipation capacity, and even causing the server to shut down due to high temperature in severe cases. Summary of the invention

[0006] Beneficial effects: through the setting of the water quality monitoring system, real-time monitoring of the water quality in the circulation pipeline structure is realized, and the water quality monitoring system is connected to the control system to transmit the monitored water quality data to the control system in real time; because the water quality purification system is arranged in parallel with the circulation pipeline structure, and the purification system is connected to the control system, when the water quality monitoring system detects that the water quality is up to standard, the connection channel between the water quality purification system and the circulation pipeline structure is disconnected, and the cooling water flows normally in the circulation pipeline structure without any additional processing burden, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and waste of resources in the purification process; when the water quality monitoring system detects that the water quality is not up to standard, the connection channel between the water quality purification system and the circulation pipeline structure is connected, and the water quality purification system dilutes and purifies the water in the circulation pipeline structure; real-time monitoring and instant feedback of the water quality of the secondary side pure water cooling medium are guaranteed, and instant intervention and recovery of deteriorated water quality are realized without interrupting the operation of the cooling system and interfering with the system water temperature stability and pressure balance, thereby ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the cooling system.
[0007] In an optional embodiment, the circulation pipeline structure includes a secondary side return pipeline, the secondary side return pipeline includes a main return pipeline and multiple return branches; the main return pipeline is suitable for connection to a cooling distribution unit; one end of the return branch is connected to the main return pipeline, and the other end is suitable for connection to a liquid cooling cabinet; the water purification system is connected to the main return pipeline.
[0008] Beneficial effect: Since the system pressure will change during the purification process of cooling water, the water purification system is set on the main return water pipeline to purify the cooling water flowing out of the liquid cooling cabinet, thereby reducing the impact of excessive system pressure on the liquid cooling cabinet.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Through the setting of the first pipeline structure and the second pipeline structure, the parallel setting of the water purification system and the circulation pipeline structure is realized; and the control system realizes the control of the on-off of the first branch and the second branch through the first on-off valve, the second on-off valve and the third on-off valve; since pure water is stored in the water storage tank, when the second branch is connected to the circulation pipeline structure, the pure water stored in the water storage tank can enter the circulation pipeline structure, and circulate in the circulation pipeline structure to dilute the raw water in the circulation pipeline structure; since the control system controls the on-off between the pure water treatment system and the water storage tank, when the second branch is connected to the circulation pipeline structure, the control system can control the disconnection between the pure water treatment system and the water storage tank, thereby ensuring the circulation of the pure water stored in the water storage tank in the circulation pipeline structure and the dilution effect on the raw water in the circulation pipeline structure.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the pure water treatment system includes a secondary side raw water pipeline, a water purification device and a water outlet pipeline; one end of the secondary side raw water pipeline is connected to a water storage tank; the inlet of the water purification device is connected to the other end of the secondary side raw water pipeline; one end of the water outlet pipeline is connected to the outlet of the water purification device, and the other end is connected to the water storage tank; a first power pump is provided on the water outlet pipeline; a first pressure sensor is provided on the water storage tank, and the first pressure sensor and the first power pump are both connected to a control system, and the control system is used to receive pressure data transmitted by the first pressure sensor, and control the start and stop of the first power pump according to the pressure data.

[0014] Beneficial effects: Through the setting of the external water source pipeline, it is possible to directly introduce the external water source into the secondary side circulation network without stopping the machine, thereby realizing the water replenishment operation of the secondary side circulation network; and through the setting of the first liquid level sensor and the first on-off valve, it is possible to automatically adjust the water replenishment rate according to the actual needs of the secondary side circulation network, thereby realizing timely water replenishment of the secondary side circulation network, and preventing pressure surge or system overload caused by excessive water replenishment, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the water replenishment operation.
[0015] In an optional embodiment, a second liquid level sensor is provided on the water storage tank, and a second power pump is provided on the secondary side raw water pipeline; the second liquid level sensor and the second power pump are both connected to the control system, and the control system is used to receive the liquid level data transmitted by the second liquid level sensor, and control the start and stop of the second power pump according to the liquid level data.
[0016] Beneficial effect: Through the setting of the second liquid level sensor and the second power pump, the liquid level height in the water tank is monitored. When the second liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the water tank drops below the preset safety threshold, the control system controls the second power pump to shut down, preventing the second power pump from continuing to pump cooling water in the water tank into the water purification device, effectively avoiding the idling of the second power pump caused by insufficient cooling water in the water tank, not only protecting the second power pump from wear and damage, extending its service life, but also preventing energy waste and safety hazards that may be caused by idling.
[0017] In an optional embodiment, the water storage tank is also provided with a breathing valve, which is arranged above the water storage tank.
[0018] Beneficial effects: By setting a breathing valve above the water tank, it can automatically open or close according to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the water tank, so as to realize timely exchange of air in the water tank and the external environment; when the internal pressure of the water tank increases due to liquid level changes, temperature changes or external pressure fluctuations, the breathing valve will automatically open to release excess pressure to prevent the tank from being damaged due to overpressure; when the pressure in the water tank is lower than that in the outside world, the breathing valve allows outside air to enter to prevent the tank from being deformed due to negative pressure; the dynamic balance of the internal pressure environment of the water tank is optimized to ensure that the water tank can operate stably under various working conditions, while protecting the tank structure from unnecessary pressure shocks.
[0019] In an optional implementation, the first pressure sensor is connected to the water storage tank via a first connecting pipe, and a first switch valve is provided on the first connecting pipe.
[0020] Beneficial effect: Through the arrangement of the first connecting pipe and the first switch valve, when the first pressure sensor malfunctions and needs to be replaced, the first switch valve can be closed to disconnect the first pressure sensor from the water tank. During the replacement of the first pressure sensor, external contaminants can be prevented from entering the water tank, and liquid leakage that may occur when the liquid level in the water tank is too high can be avoided.
[0021] In an optional implementation, a one-way valve is provided on the water outlet pipeline.
[0022] Beneficial effect: By arranging a one-way valve on the water outlet pipe, the liquid in the water storage tank is prevented from flowing back into the water purification device, thereby polluting the purified water in the water purification device.

[0028] Beneficial effect: By installing the monitoring liquid storage tank on the third branch, the requirements of low flow and low pressure test environment can be met; and because the first manual valve, the monitoring liquid storage tank and the second manual valve are arranged in sequence on the third branch, when the monitoring component needs to be calibrated, replaced or maintained, the operator only needs to close the first manual valve and the second manual valve to cut off the fluid channel between the monitoring liquid storage tank and the main water supply pipeline to achieve local isolation; this process does not need to interrupt the normal operation of the entire secondary side circulation network, effectively ensuring the continuity of the operation of the secondary side circulation network.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, the monitoring liquid storage tank includes a baffle, which is located between the water inlet and the water outlet of the monitoring liquid storage tank and is spaced apart from the top of the monitoring liquid storage tank; the monitoring component is located on the side of the baffle close to the water inlet of the monitoring liquid storage tank, and the distance between the monitoring probe of the monitoring component and the bottom of the monitoring liquid storage tank is less than the height of the baffle.
[0030] Beneficial effect: Since the baffle is spaced apart from the top of the monitoring liquid storage tank, it is ensured that when the cooling water flows into the monitoring liquid storage tank and reaches or exceeds the height of the baffle, it can continue to flow through the water outlet, thereby maintaining the circulation of the cooling water; by arranging the monitoring component on the side of the baffle close to the water inlet, and the distance between the monitoring probe of the monitoring component and the bottom of the monitoring liquid storage tank is less than the height of the baffle, when the secondary side circulation network is drained, the side of the baffle close to the water inlet can continuously maintain a certain liquid level, which can cover and protect the monitoring probe of the monitoring component, thereby preventing the monitoring probe of the monitoring component from being exposed to the air for a long time and suffering the risk of oxidation.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, the monitoring liquid storage tank includes an exhaust valve, and the exhaust valve is arranged on the top of the monitoring liquid storage tank.
[0032] Beneficial effect: By setting an exhaust valve on the monitoring liquid storage tank, the problem of gas accumulation that may be generated in the monitoring liquid storage tank during the storage process can be avoided, ensuring the smooth flow of cooling water and the stable operation of the system; preventing the excessive gas content in the monitoring liquid storage tank from affecting the test data, and reducing the oxygen content in the cooling water in the monitoring liquid storage tank to protect the monitoring probe of the monitoring component.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the monitoring liquid storage tank includes a sampling valve, and the sampling valve is arranged below the monitoring liquid storage tank.
[0034] Beneficial effects: By installing a sampling valve on the monitoring liquid storage tank, it is possible to implement other data tests that cannot be completed by online monitoring, and to compare the sample analysis results obtained by the sampling valve with the monitoring data of the monitoring component, so as to promptly discover and correct deviations or errors in the online monitoring of the monitoring component, and promptly repair, adjust or replace the monitoring component to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the online test results.

[0036] Beneficial effects: By setting a coarse filter in the filter pipeline, suspended particles and various impurities in the cooling water are effectively removed; the setting of the filter status monitoring unit realizes real-time monitoring of the working status of the coarse filter. When the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet is monitored to exceed the preset threshold, the control system will automatically remind the relevant maintenance personnel to clean or replace the coarse filter element to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the filtration structure.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, at least two filter pipelines are provided, and the at least two filter pipelines are arranged in parallel; a third manual valve and a fourth manual valve are also provided on the filter pipeline, and the coarse filter is located between the third manual valve and the fourth manual valve.
[0038] Beneficial effect: The third manual valve and the fourth manual valve cooperate to realize the control of the on-off of the filter pipeline. By setting up at least two filter pipelines, a dual filter pipeline design of one for use and one for backup is realized. While the secondary side circulation pipeline network maintains continuous operation, the filter element can be cleaned and replaced and the filter pipeline can be maintained.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, a needle valve is further provided on the filter pipeline, and the needle valve is arranged adjacent to the coarse filter.
[0040] Beneficial effects: By setting a needle valve on the filter pipeline, the pressure accumulated in the coarse filter can be safely released to ensure pressure balance during system operation; and the cooling water retained inside the coarse filter can be removed to prevent performance degradation and potential corrosion risks caused by cooling water accumulation, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and long-term operating efficiency of the filtration system; and ensure that there will be no problems such as pure water outflow during filter element replacement.

[0055] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a secondary side circulation network is provided, including a circulation pipeline structure 1, a water quality monitoring system 2, a water quality purification system 3 and a control system; the circulation pipeline structure 1 is suitable for forming a circulation loop between a cooling capacity distribution unit 5 and a liquid cooling cabinet 6; the water quality monitoring system 2 is arranged on the circulation pipeline structure 1; the water quality purification system 3 is arranged in parallel with the circulation pipeline structure 1, and is used to dilute and purify the water in the circulation pipeline structure 1; the control system is connected to both the water quality monitoring system 2 and the water quality purification system 3, and is used to receive water quality data transmitted by the water quality monitoring system 2, and control the connection and disconnection between the water quality purification system 3 and the circulation pipeline structure 1 according to the water quality data.
[0057] By setting up the water quality monitoring system 2, real-time monitoring of the water quality in the circulation pipeline structure 1 is achieved, and the water quality monitoring system 2 is connected to the control system to transmit the monitored water quality data to the control system in real time; because the water quality purification system 3 is set in parallel with the circulation pipeline structure 1, and the purification system is connected to the control system, when the water quality monitoring system 2 detects that the water quality is up to standard, the connection channel between the water quality purification system 3 and the circulation pipeline structure 1 is disconnected, and the cooling water flows normally in the circulation pipeline structure 1 without any additional processing burden, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and waste of resources in the purification process; when the water quality monitoring system 2 detects that the water quality is not up to standard, the connection channel between the water quality purification system 3 and the circulation pipeline structure 1 is connected, and the water quality purification system 3 dilutes and purifies the water in the circulation pipeline structure 1; real-time monitoring and instant feedback of the water quality of the secondary side pure water cooling medium are guaranteed, and instant intervention and recovery of deteriorated water quality are achieved without interrupting the operation of the cooling system and interfering with the system water temperature stability and pressure balance, thereby ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the cooling system.

[0059] Since the system pressure will change during the process of purifying the cooling water by the water purification system 3, the water purification system 3 is set on the main return water pipeline 121 to purify the cooling water flowing out of the liquid cooling cabinet 6, thereby reducing the impact of excessive system pressure on the liquid cooling cabinet 6.

[0061] By setting the first pipeline structure and the second pipeline structure, the parallel setting of the water purification system 3 and the circulation pipeline structure 1 is realized; and the control system realizes the control of the on-off of the first branch 111 and the second branch 311 through the first on-off valve 112, the second on-off valve 312 and the third on-off valve 313; since pure water is stored in the water storage tank 32, when the second branch 311 is connected to the circulation pipeline structure 1, the pure water stored in the water storage tank 32 can enter the circulation pipeline structure 1 and circulate in the circulation pipeline structure 1 to dilute the raw water in the circulation pipeline structure 1; since the control system controls the on-off between the pure water treatment system 33 and the water storage tank 32, when the second branch 311 is connected to the circulation pipeline structure 1, the control system can control the disconnection between the pure water treatment system 33 and the water storage tank 32, thereby ensuring the circulation of the pure water stored in the water storage tank 32 in the circulation pipeline structure 1 and the dilution effect on the raw water in the circulation pipeline structure 1.
[0062] In a specific implementation, when the water quality data reaches the set standard, the control system controls the circulation of the first branch 111 by controlling the first on-off valve 112 to open; controls the disconnection of the second branch 311 by controlling the second on-off valve 312 to close and the third on-off valve 313 to close; and at this time, the control system controls the pure water treatment system 33 to disconnect from the water storage tank 32.
[0063] When the water quality data does not meet the set standard, the control system controls the first branch 111 to be disconnected by controlling the first on-off valve 112 to be closed, and controls the circulation of the second branch 311 by controlling the second on-off valve 312 to be opened and the third on-off valve 313 to be opened, and the pure water in the water storage tank 32 enters the circulation pipeline structure 1 for circulation, diluting the water in the circulation pipeline structure 1, and at this time, the control system controls the pure water treatment system 33 to be disconnected from the water storage tank 32; when the connection time between the second branch 311 and the circulation pipeline structure 1 reaches the preset time, the control system controls the first on-off valve 312 to be opened, and the second branch 311 is opened. 112 is opened to control the circulation of the first branch 111, and the second branch 311 is disconnected by controlling the second on-off valve 312 to be closed and the third on-off valve 313 to be closed. At this time, the control system controls the pure water treatment system 33 to be connected with the water storage tank 32 to purify the liquid in the water storage tank 32. After the treatment is completed, the control system controls the second branch 311 to be connected with the circulation pipeline structure 1 again, and the pure water in the water storage tank 32 enters the circulation pipeline structure 1 again, and the cooling water in the circulation pipeline structure 1 is diluted for a second time, and then the above steps are repeated until the water quality meets the standard.
[0064] In a specific implementation, since the water purification system 3 is arranged in parallel with the circulation pipeline structure 1, when water purification treatment is required, it is only necessary to control the water purification system 3 to be connected with the circulation pipeline structure 1 through the control system, without emptying and replacing the internal cooling water, so as to achieve dilution and purification of the cooling water in the circulation pipeline structure 1; compared with the traditional method of completely emptying and replacing the cooling water in the pipeline network to achieve the purpose of improving water quality, it effectively saves water resources and reduces the burden of wastewater treatment and discharge, while greatly reducing the direct material cost and operating cost caused by replacing cooling water, thereby achieving a double improvement in economic and environmental benefits.
[0065] In a specific implementation, the first on-off valve 112 , the second on-off valve 312 , and the third on-off valve 313 are all electric ball valves.
[0066] In one embodiment, the pure water treatment system 33 includes a secondary side raw water pipeline 331, a water purification device and a water outlet pipeline 333; one end of the secondary side raw water pipeline 331 is connected to the water storage tank 32; the inlet of the water purification device is connected to the other end of the secondary side raw water pipeline 331; one end of the water outlet pipeline 333 is connected to the outlet of the water purification device, and the other end is connected to the water storage tank 32; a first power pump 334 is provided on the water outlet pipeline 333; a first pressure sensor 321 is provided on the water storage tank 32, and the first pressure sensor 321 and the first power pump 334 are both connected to the control system, and the control system is used to receive the pressure data transmitted by the first pressure sensor 321, and control the start and stop of the first power pump 334 according to the pressure data.
[0067] With the coordinated action of the first pressure sensor 321 and the first power pump 334, the liquid level of the pure water in the water tank 32 is guaranteed; when it is monitored that the pressure in the water tank 32 is too low, the control system controls the start-up of the first power pump 334 or adjusts its operating state, and replenishes pure water to the water tank 32 in time by enhancing the suction or replenishing function, thereby effectively avoiding the problem that the pure water cannot circulate in the circulation pipeline structure 1 due to too little pure water, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the water circulation in the entire secondary side circulation pipeline network; at the same time, when it is monitored that the pressure in the water tank 32 is too high, the control system controls the first power pump 334 to automatically slow down or stop further water supply to the water tank 32, effectively preventing the overload of the water tank 32, the risk of leakage and the increase of subsequent processing costs caused by excess pure water, and ensuring the rational use of water resources and the long-term stable operation of the system.
[0068] Specifically, the first power pump 334 is a diaphragm pump.
[0069] In a specific embodiment, the water purification device includes a main line, a booster pump 33203, a sand filter structure 33204, a carbon filter structure 33205, a softener 33206, an antiscalant structure 33207, a precision filter 33208, a first high-pressure pump 33209, a primary RO permeation structure 33210, a pure water tank 33211, a second high-pressure pump 33212, a PH adjustment structure 33213, a secondary RO permeation structure 33214, a chemical cleaning structure 33215, and an ultrapure water tank 33216; the main line is connected to the outlet end of the raw water tank 33201, the booster pump 33203, the sand filter structure 33204, the carbon filter structure 33205, the softener 33206, the precision filter 33208, the first high-pressure pump 33209, the primary RO permeation structure 3321 0. The pure water tank 33211, the second high-pressure pump 33212, the secondary RO permeation structure 33214 and the ultrapure water tank 33216 are sequentially arranged in series on the main pipe; the scale inhibitor structure 33207 is located between the softener 33206 and the precision filter 33208, and is connected to the main pipe through the fourth connecting pipe; the chemical cleaning structure 33215 is arranged on the fifth connecting pipe, and one end of the fifth connecting pipe is located between the primary RO permeation structure 33210 and the pure water tank 33211, and is connected to the main pipe; the other end is located between the secondary RO permeation structure 33214 and the ultrapure water tank 33216, and is connected to the main pipe; the PH adjustment structure 33213 is located between the second high-pressure pump 33212 and the secondary RO permeation structure 33214, and is connected to the main pipe through the sixth connecting pipe.
[0070] In one embodiment, the pure water treatment system 33 also includes an external water source pipeline 335, one end of the external water source pipeline 335 is connected to the inlet of the water purification device, and the other end is suitable for connection to an external water source; a fourth on-off valve 336 is provided on the external water source pipeline 335; a raw water tank 33201 is provided at the inlet of the water purification device, and a first liquid level sensor 33202 is provided on the raw water tank 33201; the first liquid level sensor 33202 and the fourth on-off valve 336 are both connected to a control system, and the control system is used to receive the liquid level data transmitted by the first liquid level sensor 33202, and control the on-off of the external water source pipeline 335 by controlling the fourth on-off valve 336 according to the liquid level data.
[0071] By setting up the external water source pipeline 335, it is possible to directly introduce the external water source into the secondary side circulation network without stopping the machine, thereby realizing the water replenishment operation of the secondary side circulation network; and by setting up the first liquid level sensor 33202 and the first on-off valve 112, it is possible to automatically adjust the water replenishment rate according to the actual demand of the secondary side circulation network, thereby realizing timely water replenishment of the secondary side circulation network, and preventing pressure surge or system overload caused by excessive water replenishment, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the water replenishment operation.
[0072] Preferably, a plurality of leakage monitoring devices are respectively provided on different connecting pipe sections of the circulation pipeline structure 1 of the secondary side circulation network, which are used to monitor the leakage of different connecting pipe sections; and each leakage monitoring device is integrated with an independent alarm unit, realizing the integrated setting of monitoring and response; a plurality of leakage monitoring devices are connected to the control system. Once a leakage monitoring device detects a leakage event in its corresponding connecting pipe section, the leakage monitoring device transmits the leakage information to the control system. After receiving the leakage information, the control system controls the corresponding alarm unit to send an alarm signal, thereby ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of fault identification, so that the operator can intuitively and quickly locate the specific connecting pipe section where the leakage occurs, and repair or replace the damaged connecting pipe section, so as to prevent the secondary side circulation network from leaking again after the water replenishment operation is completed, thereby ensuring the stable operation and long-term reliability of the entire network.
[0073] In a specific implementation, when the secondary side circulation network needs to perform purification operation, in order to prevent the problem of excessively high liquid level in the raw water tank 33201, an overflow pipe 33217 is added to the bottom of the raw water tank 33201, and a fifth on-off valve 33218 is provided on the overflow pipe 33217. The control system controls the on-off of the overflow pipe 33217 by controlling the fifth on-off valve 33218 through the liquid level data received from the first liquid level sensor 33202.
[0074] Specifically, the fourth on-off valve 336 and the fifth on-off valve 33218 are both solenoid valves.
[0075] In one embodiment, a second liquid level sensor 322 is provided on the water storage tank 32, and a second power pump 337 is provided on the secondary side raw water pipeline 331; the second liquid level sensor 322 and the second power pump 337 are both connected to the control system, and the control system is used to receive the liquid level data transmitted by the second liquid level sensor 322, and control the start and stop of the second power pump 337 according to the liquid level data.
[0076] By setting up the second liquid level sensor 322 and the second power pump 337, the liquid level height in the water tank 32 is monitored. When the second liquid level sensor 322 detects that the liquid level in the water tank 32 drops below the preset safety threshold, the control system controls the second power pump 337 to shut down, preventing the second power pump 337 from continuing to pump cooling water in the water tank 32 into the water purification device, thereby effectively avoiding the idling of the second power pump 337 due to insufficient cooling water in the water tank 32. This not only protects the second power pump 337 from wear and damage and extends its service life, but also prevents energy waste and safety hazards that may be caused by idling.
[0077] Specifically, the second power pump 337 is a diaphragm pump.
[0078] In one embodiment, a breathing valve 323 is further provided on the water storage tank 32 , and the breathing valve 323 is arranged above the water storage tank 32 .
[0079] By setting a breathing valve 323 above the water tank 32, it can be automatically opened or closed according to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the water tank 32, so as to realize timely exchange of air in the water tank 32 and the external environment; when the internal pressure of the water tank 32 increases due to liquid level changes, temperature changes or external pressure fluctuations, the breathing valve 323 will automatically open to release excess pressure to prevent the tank body from being damaged due to overpressure; when the pressure in the water tank 32 is lower than that in the outside, the breathing valve 323 allows outside air to enter to prevent the tank body from being deformed due to negative pressure; the dynamic balance of the internal pressure environment of the water tank 32 is optimized to ensure that the water tank 32 can operate stably under various working conditions, while protecting the tank structure from unnecessary pressure shocks.
[0080] In one embodiment, the first pressure sensor 321 is connected to the water storage tank 32 via a first connecting pipe, and a first switch valve 4111 is provided on the first connecting pipe.
[0081] Through the arrangement of the first connecting pipe and the first switch valve 4111, when the first pressure sensor 321 malfunctions and needs to be replaced, the first switch valve 4111 can be closed to disconnect the first pressure sensor 321 from the water tank 32. During the replacement of the first pressure sensor 321, it can prevent external pollutants from entering the water tank 32 and avoid liquid leakage that may occur when the liquid level in the water tank 32 is too high.
[0082] Specifically, the first switch valve 4111 is a manual ball valve.
[0083] In one embodiment, a one-way valve 338 is provided on the water outlet pipe 333 .
[0084] By providing a one-way valve 338 on the water outlet pipe 333, the liquid in the water storage tank 32 is prevented from flowing back into the water purification device and polluting the purified water in the water purification device.
[0085] In one embodiment, the circulation pipeline structure 1 includes a secondary water supply pipeline 13, the secondary water supply pipeline 13 includes a main water supply pipeline 131 and multiple water supply branches 132; the main water supply pipeline 131 is suitable for connecting to the cooling distribution unit 5; one end of the water supply branch 132 is connected to the main water supply pipeline 131, and the other end is suitable for connecting to the liquid cooling cabinet 6; the water quality monitoring system 2 is connected to the main water supply pipeline 131.
[0086] By setting the water quality monitoring system 2 on the main water supply pipeline 131, the water quality of the cooling water is monitored before the cooling water enters the liquid cooling cabinet 6 for heat exchange, thereby avoiding temperature drift interference to the water quality monitoring system 2 caused by the increase in cooling water temperature, preventing deviations in the monitoring data, and ensuring the accuracy of the monitoring of the water quality monitoring system 2.
[0087] In one embodiment, the water quality monitoring system 2 includes a monitoring liquid storage tank 21 and a monitoring component; the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 is connected to the circulation pipeline structure 1; the monitoring component is fixed on the monitoring liquid storage tank 21, and the monitoring probe of the monitoring component is extended into the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 and contacts with the coolant in the monitoring liquid storage tank 21.
[0088] By setting up the monitoring liquid storage tank 21, when the water flows through the circulation pipeline structure 1, the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 can temporarily store a certain amount of water, thereby stabilizing the water flow, reducing the impact of water flow fluctuations or pressure changes on the monitoring components, and improving the stability and accuracy of water quality monitoring.
[0089] In a specific embodiment, the monitoring component includes a conductivity sensor 221, a pH sensor 222, a turbidity sensor 223 and a chemical oxygen demand (COD) online detection sensor, and the conductivity sensor 221, the pH sensor 222, the turbidity sensor 223 and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) online detection sensor 224 are sequentially arranged on the monitoring liquid storage tank 21.
[0090] In one embodiment, the water quality monitoring system 2 also includes a third pipeline structure, which includes a third branch 231, a first manual valve 232 and a second manual valve 233; the third branch 231 is arranged in parallel with the main water supply pipeline 131; the first manual valve 232, the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 and the second manual valve 233 are arranged on the third branch 231 in sequence.
[0091] By installing the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 on the third branch 231, the requirements of low flow and low pressure test environment can be met; and since the first manual valve 232, the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 and the second manual valve 233 are sequentially arranged on the third branch 231, when the monitoring component needs to be calibrated, replaced or maintained, the operator only needs to close the first manual valve 232 and the second manual valve 233 to cut off the fluid channel between the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 and the main water supply pipeline 131 to achieve local isolation; this process does not require interrupting the normal operation of the entire secondary side circulation network, effectively ensuring the continuity of the operation of the secondary side circulation network.
[0092] In one embodiment, the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 includes a baffle 211, which is located between the water inlet and the water outlet of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 and is spaced apart from the top of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21; the monitoring component is located on the side of the baffle 211 close to the water inlet of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21, and the distance between the monitoring probe of the monitoring component and the bottom of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 is less than the height of the baffle 211.
[0093] Since the baffle 211 is spaced apart from the top of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21, it is ensured that when the cooling water flows into the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 and reaches or exceeds the height of the baffle 211, it can continue to flow through the water outlet, thereby maintaining the circulation of the cooling water; by arranging the monitoring component on the side of the baffle 211 close to the water inlet, and the distance between the monitoring probe of the monitoring component and the bottom of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 is less than the height of the baffle 211, when the secondary side circulation network is drained, since the side of the baffle 211 close to the water inlet can continuously maintain a certain liquid level, the monitoring probe of the monitoring component can be covered and protected, thereby preventing the monitoring probe of the monitoring component from being exposed to the air for a long time and suffering the risk of oxidation.
[0094] In a specific implementation, the water outlet is disposed below the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 , and the distance between the water outlet and the bottom of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 is smaller than the height of the baffle 211 .
[0095] In one embodiment, the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 includes an exhaust valve 212 , which is disposed on the top of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 .
[0096] By setting an exhaust valve 212 on the monitoring liquid storage tank 21, the problem of gas accumulation that may be generated in the liquid storage process of the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 can be avoided, ensuring the smooth flow of cooling water and the stable operation of the system; preventing the excessive gas content in the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 from affecting the test data, and reducing the oxygen content in the cooling water in the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 to protect the monitoring probe of the monitoring component.
[0097] In one embodiment, the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 includes a sampling valve 213 , and the sampling valve 213 is disposed below the monitoring liquid storage tank 21 .
[0098] By installing a sampling valve 213 on the monitoring liquid storage tank 21, it is possible to implement other data tests that cannot be completed by online monitoring, and to compare the sample analysis results obtained by the sampling valve 213 with the monitoring data of the monitoring component, so as to promptly discover and correct deviations or errors in the online monitoring of the monitoring component, and promptly repair, adjust or replace the monitoring component to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the online test results.
[0099] In one embodiment, a filtering structure is also included, and the filtering structure includes a filtering state monitoring unit and a filtering pipeline 42; the filtering state monitoring unit includes a second pressure sensor 411 and a third pressure sensor 412, and the second pressure sensor 411 and the third pressure sensor 412 are arranged in sequence on the circulation pipeline structure 1 at intervals; the filtering pipeline 42 is located between the second pressure sensor 411 and the third pressure sensor 412, and is connected to the circulation pipeline structure 1; and a coarse filter 43 is provided on the filtering pipeline 42; the second pressure sensor 411 and the third pressure sensor 412 are both connected to the control system, and transmit the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure to the control system, and the control system determines the filter element state of the coarse filter 43 by the difference between the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure.
[0100] By setting a coarse filter 43 on the filter pipeline 42, suspended particles and various impurities in the cooling water are effectively removed; the setting of the filter status monitoring unit realizes real-time monitoring of the working status of the coarse filter 43. When the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet is detected to exceed the preset threshold, the control system will automatically remind the relevant maintenance personnel to clean or replace the filter element of the coarse filter 43 to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the filtering structure.
[0101] In a specific implementation, the filtering structure is arranged on the main water supply pipeline 131, and the filtering structure and the water quality monitoring system 2 are arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the cooling water, effectively intercepting the suspended particles and various impurities in the cooling water, ensuring the purity of the cooling water entering the water quality monitoring system 2 and the liquid cooling cabinet 6, reducing the adverse effects on the water quality monitoring system 2 and the liquid cooling cabinet 6, and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the overall system.
[0102] Specifically, the coarse filter 43 is a Y-type filter.

[0104] The third manual valve 44 and the fourth manual valve 45 cooperate to realize the control of the on-off of the filter pipeline 42. By setting up at least two filter pipelines 42, a dual filter pipeline 42 design of one for use and one for backup is realized. When the secondary side circulation pipeline network maintains continuous operation, the cleaning and replacement of the filter element and the maintenance of the filter pipeline 42 are realized.
[0105] In one embodiment, a needle valve 46 is further disposed on the filter pipeline 42 , and the needle valve 46 is disposed adjacent to the coarse filter 43 .
[0106] By setting a needle valve 46 on the filter pipeline 42, the pressure accumulated in the coarse filter 43 can be safely released to ensure pressure balance during system operation; and the cooling water retained in the coarse filter 43 can be removed to prevent performance degradation and potential corrosion risks caused by cooling water accumulation, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and long-term operating efficiency of the filtration system; and it is ensured that there will be no problems such as pure water outflow during the process of replacing the filter element.
[0107] In one embodiment, the second pressure sensor 411 is connected to the circulation pipeline structure 1 through a second connecting pipe, and a second switch valve is provided on the second connecting pipe.
[0108] Through the arrangement of the second connecting pipe and the second switch valve, when the second pressure sensor 411 malfunctions and needs to be replaced, the second switch valve can be closed to disconnect the second pressure sensor 411 from the circulation pipeline structure 1.
