Technical Field
[0001] This invention discloses a method and system for implementing a prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center, which relates to the field of data center building deployment technology. Background Technology
[0002] Existing multi-story data centers suffer from problems such as chaotic pipe layout, difficult maintenance, cramped space, large investment, and high manpower costs. Furthermore, existing data center pipes need to be installed through walls, the construction sequence is heavily dependent on the completion of the enclosures, and the stacking of multiple layers of cable trays results in insufficient maintenance space, with spacing of less than 0.5m. In addition, the pipe density in the ceiling reaches 80%, and disassembly requires structural damage, which is not conducive to maintenance. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the problems of existing technologies by providing a method and system for implementing a prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center, thereby achieving a prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center structure that integrates pipeline management, ecological landscape, and architectural aesthetics.
[0004] The specific solution proposed in this invention is as follows:
[0005] This invention provides a method for implementing a prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center, comprising:
[0006] Step 1: Deployment diagram of the prefabricated liquid-cooled data center. The deployment diagram includes a steel frame diagram of the three-story liquid-cooled data center. Based on the steel frame diagram, the layout of the liquid-cooled data center is obtained. The data center is located in the middle, with power distribution rooms on both sides. A battery room is located on one side of the data center, adjacent to the power distribution room on the same side. A fire control room is located on the other side of the data center, adjacent to the power distribution room on the same side. A pipe gallery connects the data center with the power distribution room and the battery room, and a corridor connects the data center with the power distribution room and the fire control room. One end of the pipe gallery is a maintenance entrance. The pipe galleries on the second and third floors are hollow, and the bottom of the first-floor pipe gallery corresponds to the ground planting area.
[0007] Step 2: Based on the steel frame drawings, hoist the steel structure of the liquid-cooled data center on-site, then simultaneously install the corridor enclosures, deploy liquid cooling pipes, and lay underground nutrient soil in the ground planting area to plant shade-tolerant economic species, creating a low-maintenance landscape and generating additional income.
[0008] Step 3: An internal drainage system is adopted on the roof of the liquid-cooled data center. The roof drainage structure is set up, which converges from both sides to the middle to form a drainage channel. The ground planting area is equipped with a pebble layer to dissipate rainwater impact, which also has aesthetic function and reduces noise. Enclosures are installed on both sides of the ground planting area to prevent rainwater splashing.
[0009] Furthermore, in step 1 of the method for implementing a prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center, according to the steel frame diagram, the layout of the liquid-cooled data center includes a freight elevator and a fan deployed in front of the battery room, a duty room and a restroom deployed in front of the fire control room, a lobby in front of the data center room on the first floor of the liquid-cooled data center and a corridor behind it, and corridors on both the front and back sides of the data center rooms on the second and third floors of the liquid-cooled data center.
[0010] Furthermore, in step 2 of the method for implementing a prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center, when deploying liquid-cooled pipes, epoxy resin-based reflective coating is applied to the liquid-cooled pipes, and the liquid-cooled supply / return water pipes are marked with dark blue and light blue layers. At the same time, LED light strips are installed, and the colors are marked according to the flow rate. The operating status is dynamically displayed in combination with programmable LED lights.
[0011] Furthermore, in step 2 of the method for implementing a prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center, the underground nutrient soil in the ground planting area is laid to a depth of no less than 0.8m, a water-saving spraying mode is adopted, the monthly water consumption is ≤0.3 tons, and Dendrobium orchids and ferns are planted.
[0012] This invention also provides a system for implementing a prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center, including a mapping and layout module and a deployment management module.
[0013] The layout module pre-creates the deployment diagram of the liquid-cooled data center. The diagram includes a steel frame drawing of the three-story liquid-cooled data center. Based on this steel frame drawing, the layout of the liquid-cooled data center is obtained. The data center is located in the center, with power distribution rooms on either side. A battery room is located on one side of the data center, adjacent to the power distribution room on the same side. A fire control room is located on the other side of the data center, also adjacent to the power distribution room on the same side. A utility tunnel connects the data center to the power distribution room and the battery room, and a corridor also connects them. One end of the utility tunnel serves as a maintenance entrance. The second and third-floor utility tunnels are hollow, and the bottom of the first-floor utility tunnel corresponds to the ground planting area.
[0014] The deployment management module hoisted the steel structure of the liquid-cooled data center on-site according to the steel frame drawings, then simultaneously installed the corridor enclosures, deployed liquid-cooled pipes, and laid underground nutrient soil in the ground planting area to plant shade-tolerant economic species, creating a low-maintenance landscape and generating additional revenue.
[0015] The deployment management module adopts an internal drainage method on the roof of the liquid-cooled data center, setting up a roof drainage structure. The roof drainage structure converges from both sides to the middle to form a drainage trough. The ground planting area is equipped with a pebble layer to dissipate rainwater impact, which also has aesthetic functions and reduces noise. Enclosures are installed on both sides of the ground planting area to prevent rainwater splashing.
[0016] Furthermore, based on the steel frame diagram, the drawing and layout module of the prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center implementation system also obtains the following layout: in the liquid-cooled data center, a freight elevator and a fan are deployed in front of the battery room; a duty room and a restroom are deployed in front of the fire control room; the data center of the first-floor liquid-cooled data center has a lobby in front and a corridor in the back; and the data centers of the second and third-floor liquid-cooled data centers have corridors in both the front and back.
[0017] Furthermore, when deploying the liquid cooling pipes in the deployment management module of the prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center implementation system, the liquid cooling pipes are coated with epoxy resin-based reflective paint, and the liquid cooling supply / return water pipes are marked with dark blue and light blue layers. At the same time, LED light strips are installed, and the colors are marked according to the flow rate. Combined with programmable LED lights, the operating status is dynamically displayed.
[0018] Furthermore, the deployment and management module of the prefabricated modular liquid-cooled data center implementation system has a pre-set ground planting area with underground nutrient soil at a depth of no less than 0.8m, adopts a water-saving spraying mode, with a monthly water consumption of ≤0.3 tons, and plants Dendrobium orchids and ferns.
[0019] The advantages of this invention are: reasonable layout, convenient use, and technical benefits: maintenance path is shortened by more than 40%, and pipeline fault location speed is increased by more than 50%; economic benefits: landscape crops can increase annual income; and humanistic benefits: reduce the mechanical feel of data centers and enhance the group visit experience.
