Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to an immersion liquid-cooled tank container. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the modern logistics industry, tank containers are increasingly used as storage and transportation carriers for goods, and the demand for them is growing. However, some of the loaded goods, such as energy storage batteries and servers, have high temperature requirements during operation, and both high and low temperatures can easily affect their normal operation.
[0003] Currently, containers used to house energy storage batteries or servers often only consider cooling. Air cooling is the most common, widespread, and simplest heat dissipation method. However, air cooling has low heat exchange efficiency and long heat conduction time, insufficient to support the increasing demands of thermal management. Compared to other cooling strategies, liquid cooling has higher thermal conductivity, larger heat capacity, and better cooling performance. Liquid cooling mainly includes two forms: non-contact liquid cooling and immersion liquid cooling. In non-contact liquid cooling, a cold plate and an aluminum frame supporting the cold plate are added, and thermally conductive silicone grease or epoxy adhesive is applied to eliminate air gaps between the surface of the energy storage battery or server and the cold plate. This leads to higher costs, greater system weight, and higher system complexity. Immersion liquid cooling involves immersing the energy storage battery or server in a heat exchange medium and exchanging heat with the medium to achieve heat dissipation, with better cooling performance than the aforementioned two forms. However, current technologies using immersion liquid cooling often only consider internal coolers for cooling, resulting in a single cooling method and excessive energy consumption when operating in high-temperature environments.
[0004] In addition, traditional immersion systems cannot cope with the performance degradation caused by low-temperature environments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an immersion liquid-cooled tank container with cooling and heating functions, and to improve its cooling and heat dissipation efficiency while reducing its energy consumption during the cooling and heat dissipation process, while ensuring that the immersion liquid-cooled tank container has cooling and heating functions.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: According to this application, an immersion liquid-cooled tank container includes: a frame, a tank body, a partition, and a temperature control system; a receiving space is formed within the frame; the tank body is at least partially housed within the receiving space; a receiving space is formed inside the tank body; a partition is disposed inside the tank body, the partition being used to divide the receiving space into a liquid-cooling cavity and a control cavity, the liquid-cooling cavity being a sealed space for housing a working unit, the liquid-cooling cavity containing a heat exchange medium for cooling the working unit, the working unit being immersed in the heat exchange medium; the temperature control system includes a first heat exchange component disposed inside the tank body and a second heat exchange component disposed on the outer periphery of the tank body, and so on.

And / or, a pressure relief port is provided at the top of the tank body, which communicates with the liquid-cooling cavity. A pressure relief valve is provided at the pressure relief port, which is used to open and close the pressure relief port.
[0016] In some embodiments, the tank includes a cylindrical body and end caps located at opposite ends of the cylindrical body.

In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0033] This application provides an immersion liquid-cooled tank container for use as a storage and transportation work unit.
[0034] The working units can be energy storage batteries, servers, or other cargo. There can be multiple working units, which are arranged in an array and stacked inside the submersible liquid-cooled tank container.
[0035] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes different embodiments of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container of this application.
[0036] First embodiment of submersible liquid-cooled tank container Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a longitudinal sectional view of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in this embodiment.
[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides an immersion liquid-cooled tank container, which includes a frame 11, a tank 12, a partition 126, and a temperature control system. The frame 11 forms an accommodating space. The tank 12 is at least partially accommodated within the accommodating space. The interior of the tank 12 forms a receiving space. The partition 126 is disposed inside the tank 12, and the partition 126 is used to divide the receiving space to form a liquid-cooled cavity 121 and a control cavity 122. The liquid-cooled cavity 121 is a sealed space for accommodating a working unit. The liquid-cooled cavity 121 contains a heat exchange medium for cooling the working unit, and the working unit is immersed in the heat exchange medium. The temperature control system includes a first heat exchange component disposed inside the tank 12 and a second heat exchange component 14 disposed on the outer periphery of the tank 12. The first heat exchange component includes a cooler 131, at least a portion of which is located in the control cavity 122 and communicates with the liquid-cooled cavity 121. The cooler 131 is used to provide cooling to the heat exchange medium. The second heat exchange component 14 is located outside the liquid cooling cavity 121 and is used to supply heat exchange fluid. The heat exchange fluid can exchange heat with the heat exchange medium. Specifically, the first heat exchange component can cool the heat exchange medium inside the liquid cooling cavity 121 through the cooler 131; and / or, the second heat exchange component 14 can cool the working unit inside the liquid cooling cavity 121 through the heat exchange fluid, or the second heat exchange component 14 can heat the working unit inside the liquid cooling cavity 121 through the heat exchange fluid.
[0038] In the above-mentioned submersible liquid-cooled tank container, in actual application, the first heat exchange component and / or the second heat exchange component 14 can be selected to achieve cooling and heat dissipation of the working unit, or the second heat exchange component 14 can be selected to achieve heating of the working unit, so that the working unit is in an environment with normal operating temperature, thereby making it easier for the working unit to adapt to the situation of large temperature difference in the environment and ensuring the normal operation of the working unit.
[0039] The cooling method involves immersing the working unit in the heat exchange medium within the tank 12 and / or using a heat exchanger within the second heat exchange assembly 14 outside the tank 12. This combination of two cooling methods allows the submerged liquid-cooled tank container to select at least one cooling method for the working unit as needed, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the working unit and reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, immersing the working unit in the heat exchange medium simplifies the piping layout inside the tank 12, reducing the need for extensive internal piping.
[0040] Furthermore, leveraging the excellent safety of the tank 12 itself as a pressure vessel for transporting liquids, the tank 12 is used as a liquid-cooled shell, and a partition 126 is installed to divide the interior of the tank 12 into a control chamber 122 and a liquid-cooled chamber 121. The control chamber 122 is used to install electrical structures such as the refrigerator 131 of the first heat exchange component. The liquid-cooled chamber 121 is sealed. The liquid-cooled chamber 121 is used to house the working unit and the heat exchange medium. That is, the partition 126 achieves dry and wet separation of the containing space of the tank 12, ensuring the safety performance of electrical structures such as the refrigerator 131 of the first heat exchange component, and effectively preventing leakage of the heat exchange medium, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the external environment.
[0041] See Figure 1 For ease of description, the length direction of frame 11 will be referred to as the longitudinal direction in the following text, the width direction of frame 11 as the transverse direction, and the height direction of frame 11 as the vertical direction in the following text.
[0042] In this embodiment, the frame 11 includes two end frames 111 spaced apart, two top longitudinal beams 112, and two bottom longitudinal beams 113. The end frames 111 are spaced apart longitudinally. The two top longitudinal beams 112 are connected laterally to the upper ends of the end frames 111, and the two bottom longitudinal beams 113 are connected laterally to the lower ends of the end frames 111. The end frames 111, the two top longitudinal beams 112, and the two bottom longitudinal beams 113 enclose a receiving space.
[0043] In this embodiment, the frame 11 is rectangular and its cross-section is square.
[0044] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of an immersion liquid-cooled tank container in another embodiment.
[0045] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the tank 12 is at least partially housed within the accommodating space. In other embodiments, one longitudinal end of the tank 12 may extend outward from the frame 11.
[0046] In other embodiments, the tank 12 may be completely housed within the frame 11.
[0047] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an immersion liquid-cooled tank container in another embodiment.
[0048] refer to Figure 4 In another embodiment, both longitudinal ends of the tank 12 can extend outwards from the frame 11.
[0049] Figure 5 This is a side view of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in this embodiment. Figure 6 This is another side view of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in this embodiment.
[0050] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 In this embodiment, the cross-section of the tank 12 is square-round. This design can reduce the gap between the outer periphery of the tank 12 and the inner side of the frame 11, so as to better adapt to the structure of the frame 11 with a square cross-section. Furthermore, when the volume of the accommodating space for accommodating the tank 12 is the same, the volume of the tank 12 with a square-round cross-section is larger than that of the tank 12 with a round cross-section, resulting in a larger effective volume.
[0051] In other embodiments, the cross-section of the tank 12 may also be circular. The specific cross-section of the tank 12 is set according to actual needs.
[0052] The tank body 12 includes a cylindrical body 123 and end caps 124 arranged at both axial ends of the cylindrical body 123. The cylindrical body 123 has openings at opposite ends, and the end caps 124 cover the openings of the cylindrical body 123 and are detachably connected to the cylindrical body 123 for opening and closing the openings of the cylindrical body 123.
[0053] That is, the end cap 124 can be removed from the cylinder 123 to expose the opening of the cylinder 123; or, the end cap 124 can be connected and installed on the cylinder 123 to close the opening of the cylinder 123.
[0054] In some embodiments, the cylinder 123 is fixedly connected to one end cap 124 and rotatably connected to another end cap 124, so that one end of the tank 12 is closed and the other end can be opened and closed, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the tank 12.
[0055] In some embodiments, the end cap 124 can be a multi-layered composite structure. The end cap 124 may include an end cap shell, a high-performance phase change material layer, and a support frame. A sandwich space is formed within the end cap shell. The high-performance phase change material layer is housed within the sandwich space to absorb heat from the heat exchange medium in the liquid cooling cavity 121 through the end cap shell, maintaining the temperature stability of the liquid cooling cavity 121 and reducing the power consumption of the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 14. The support frame is disposed within the sandwich space to connect to the inner wall of the sandwich space, thereby supporting the end cap shell and ensuring the structural strength and reliability of the end cap shell.
[0056] In some embodiments, the high-performance phase change material layer is formed by high-performance phase change material (PCM), which can absorb a large amount of latent heat of phase change, thereby causing a phase change within a specific temperature range.
[0057] In some embodiments, the support frame can divide the interlayer space into multiple honeycomb-shaped phase change spaces. The phase change spaces are filled with modular, high-performance phase change material layers.
[0058] In other embodiments, 15% to 20% of the expansion volume is reserved in the phase change space to accommodate the volume change caused by the phase change of the high-performance phase change material, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the end cap 124.
[0059] In this embodiment, the tank is a pressure vessel. The interior of the tank 12 has a receiving space.
[0060] The tank 12 has an internal partition 126 that divides the containment space into a liquid-cooled cavity 121 and a control cavity 122. The liquid-cooled cavity 121 is a sealed space containing the working unit. It contains a heat exchange medium for cooling the working unit, which is immersed in the medium. In other words, this embodiment, while utilizing the tank 12 itself as a pressure vessel for transporting liquids with excellent safety, uses the tank 12 as a liquid-cooled shell and divides the containment space of the tank 12 by setting the partition 126, thus achieving dry and wet separation inside the tank 12.
[0061] Specifically, the outer periphery of the partition 126 is fixedly connected to the inner peripheral sidewall of the tank 12, thereby dividing the receiving space into a longitudinally distributed liquid cooling chamber 121 and a control chamber 122. At this time, the liquid cooling chamber 121 and / or the control chamber 122 can be opened and closed by the end caps 124 located at both ends of the cylinder 123.
[0062] In this embodiment, the heat exchange medium can be a high-boiling-point liquid, such as deionized water, mineral oil, silicone oil, and hydrocarbons. After using this type of heat exchange medium to exchange heat with the working unit located in the liquid cooling cavity 121, the heat exchange medium will not undergo a phase change. That is, the working unit is directly cooled by forced convection heat exchange using the above-mentioned heat exchange medium, which is a single-phase immersion liquid cooling.
[0063] The aforementioned heat exchange medium is non-flammable. Since the energy storage battery or server is immersed in the non-flammable heat exchange medium, the fire protection system can be eliminated, the safety of the entire submerged liquid-cooled tank container can be guaranteed, and the space utilization of the tank 12 can be improved.
[0064] In this embodiment, the partition 126 is arc-shaped with its convex surface facing the liquid cooling cavity 121, which can improve the pressure resistance of the partition 126 to adapt to the impact of the heat exchange medium in the liquid cooling cavity 121 during transportation.
[0065] In some embodiments, the partition 126 is welded to the tank body 12 to improve the structural strength of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container.
[0066] In this embodiment, the bottom of the tank 12 is provided with a drain port, which is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 and is used to discharge the heat exchange medium in the liquid cooling chamber 121 to the outside.
[0067] A drain valve is installed at the drain outlet to open and close the drain outlet.
[0068] Figure 7 This is a top view of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in this embodiment.
[0069] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The top of the tank 12 is provided with a pressure relief port, which is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 to allow the gas in the liquid cooling chamber 121 to escape, thereby reducing the pressure in the liquid cooling chamber 121.
[0070] A pressure relief valve 127 is provided at the pressure relief port, which is used to open and close the pressure relief port.
[0071] refer to Figure 2 The temperature control system includes a first heat exchange component and a second heat exchange component 14.
[0072] The first heat exchange assembly is located inside the tank 12. The first heat exchange assembly includes a cooler 131, which is located in the control chamber 122 and communicates with the liquid cooling chamber 121. The cooler 131 is used to provide cooling.
[0073] The cooler 131 has a liquid outlet and a liquid inlet. The liquid outlet is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 via an output pipe 134, and the liquid inlet is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 via an input pipe 133. That is, the cooler 131 forms a loop with the liquid cooling chamber 121 through the output pipe 134 and the input pipe 133, so that the heat exchange medium in the liquid cooling chamber 121, which has been heated after exchanging heat with the working unit, can enter the cooler 131 through the input pipe 133. The heat exchange medium, after being cooled by the cooler 131, is then transported back to the liquid cooling chamber 121 through the output pipe 134 to exchange heat with the working unit. This cycle is repeated to achieve the recycling of the heat exchange medium.
[0074] In this embodiment, there can be two or more liquid outlets, each of which is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 via an output pipe 134. There can also be two or more liquid inlets, each of which is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 via an input pipe 133. This increases the flow rate of the heat exchange medium returning to the cooler 13 via the input pipe 133 per unit time, and simultaneously increases the flow rate of the heat exchange medium cooled by the cooler 131 within the liquid cooling chamber 121 per unit time. This improves the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange medium itself, thereby increasing the efficiency of the heat exchange medium in cooling the working unit, reducing the temperature difference between the working unit and the liquid cooling chamber 121, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the working unit.
[0075] Each output pipe 134 can be connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121, or it can be connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 through a first pipe with a larger diameter. Each input pipe 133 can be connected between the liquid cooling chamber 121 and the liquid inlet, or it can be connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 through a second pipe with a larger diameter.
[0076] In other embodiments, the number of liquid outlets can be one, and the number of output pipes 134 can be one. In this case, the output pipe 134 is directly connected between the liquid cooling chamber 121 and the liquid outlet. Alternatively, the number of output pipes 134 can be two or more. In this case, one end of each output pipe 134 is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121, and the other end is connected to the liquid outlet through a first pipe with a larger diameter.
[0077] In other embodiments, the number of liquid inlets can be one, and the number of input pipes 133 can be one. In this case, the input pipe 133 is directly connected between the liquid cooling chamber 121 and the liquid inlet. Alternatively, the number of input pipes 133 can be two or more. In this case, one end of each input pipe 133 is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121, and the other end is connected to the liquid inlet through a second pipe with a larger diameter.
[0078] See Figure 2 In this embodiment, the refrigerator 131 may include a compression module, a condensation module, a throttling module, and an evaporation module connected in sequence. Refrigerant circulates within the compression module, condensation module, throttling module, and evaporation module. The compression module draws in low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant vapor and compresses it into high-pressure, high-temperature superheated vapor. The condensation module cools the superheated vapor output from the compression module by exchanging heat with air, thereby forming a high-pressure, room-temperature liquid refrigerant through condensation phase change. The throttling module receives the high-pressure, room-temperature liquid refrigerant output from the condensation module, thereby throttling and depressurizing the high-pressure, room-temperature liquid refrigerant to lower its temperature and form a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid mixture. The evaporation module receives the gas-liquid mixture from the throttling module, causing the gas-liquid mixture to undergo evaporation phase change to form low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant vapor. During the evaporation phase change, the evaporation module absorbs heat from the surrounding environment.
[0079] At this time, the evaporation module can be used to absorb heat from the heat exchange medium to cool it down.
[0080] It is understandable that the two ends of the transition pipe are the liquid outlet and liquid inlet of the aforementioned cooler 131.
[0081] See Figure 2In this embodiment, the cooler 131 also includes a transition pipe (not shown in the figure). One end of the transition pipe is connected to the input pipe 133, and the other end is connected to the output pipe 134. The transition pipe is located around the evaporation module so that it communicates with the liquid cooling chamber 121. The heat exchange medium in the liquid cooling chamber 121 can enter the transition pipe through the input pipe 133 and exchange heat with the refrigerant in the evaporation module within the transition pipe, thereby cooling the heat exchange medium. Afterwards, the cooled heat exchange medium in the transition pipe can be returned to the liquid cooling chamber 121 through the output pipe 134, thus achieving cyclic cooling of the heat exchange medium.
[0082] In some embodiments, the throttling module may be an expansion valve.
[0083] In some embodiments, the transition pipe can be sleeved on the outside of the evaporator module or run through the inside of the evaporator module so that the heat exchange medium in the transition pipe can exchange heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator module.
[0084] refer to Figure 5 The cooler 131 includes a cooling fan 1311. The cooling fan 1311 is used to dissipate the heat generated by the cooler 131. Specifically, an exhaust port is provided on the end cap 124 corresponding to one end of the control chamber 122 of the tank body 12, and the cooling fan 1311 is located at the exhaust port to dissipate the heat generated by the cooler 131 to the outside through the exhaust port.
[0085] refer to Figure 2 The first heat exchange assembly may further include a storage tank 132. The storage tank 132 is located within the control chamber 122 and is used to store the heat exchange medium. In this case, the liquid inlet of the cooler 131 is connected to the storage tank 132 via an input pipe 133. The storage tank 132 is connected to the bottom of the liquid-cooled chamber 121 via a return pipe 135, allowing the heat exchange medium after heat exchange with the working unit to flow back into the storage tank 132.
[0086] The number of return pipes 135 can be multiple. The arrangement of multiple return pipes 135 can increase the flow rate of the heat exchange medium returning to the storage tank 132 per unit time. In addition, the multiple return pipes 135, in conjunction with multiple output pipes 134, can make the heat exchange medium flow more evenly through the working unit.
[0087] In other embodiments, the number of return lines 135 may also be one.
[0088] The first heat exchange assembly may further include a first circulation pump 136. The first circulation pump 136 is located in the control chamber 122. The inlet of the first circulation pump 136 is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121, and the outlet of the first circulation pump 136 is connected to the storage tank 132. It is used to draw the heat exchange medium in the liquid cooling chamber 121 into the storage tank 132, thereby realizing the circulation of the heat exchange medium and allowing the cooler 131 to directly cool the heat exchange medium.
[0089] In other embodiments, the first circulation pump 136 may also be connected and fixed to the outside of the tank.
[0090] In this embodiment, there can be more than two first circulation pumps 136. Each first circulation pump 136 is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with a return pipe 135, and each first circulation pump 136 is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 121 through the corresponding return pipe 135.
[0091] In other embodiments, the number of first circulation pumps 136 may also be one.
[0092] The first heat exchange assembly may further include a temperature control valve 137. The temperature control valve 137 is located on the output pipe 134 and is connected to the input pipe 133 via the connecting pipe 138. The temperature control valve 137 is used to detect the temperature signal of the heat exchange medium output from the liquid outlet of the cooler 131, and to switch the flow direction of the heat exchange medium according to the temperature signal, so that the heat exchange medium output from the liquid outlet of the cooler 131 enters the liquid cooling chamber 121 or flows back to the cooler 131 through the input pipe 133.
[0093] That is, a switching temperature threshold can be preset in the temperature control valve 137. When the heat exchange medium, cooled by the refrigerator 131, flows to the temperature control valve 137 through the output pipe 134, if the temperature signal of the heat exchange medium detected by the temperature control valve 137 is higher than the switching temperature threshold, the temperature control valve 137 controls the output pipe 134 to connect with the input pipe 133 through the connecting pipe 138, so that the heat exchange medium flows back to the refrigerator 131 through the input pipe 133 and is cooled again by the refrigerator 131. If the temperature signal of the heat exchange medium detected by the temperature control valve 137 is equal to or lower than the switching temperature threshold, the temperature control valve 137 controls the output pipe 134 to connect with the liquid cooling chamber 121, so that the heat exchange medium is delivered into the refrigerator 131. The above design can better ensure the cooling effect of the heat exchange medium in single-phase immersion liquid cooling.
[0094] In this embodiment, the number of temperature control valves 137 can be more than two. Each temperature control valve 137 is correspondingly installed on an output pipe 134 to detect the temperature signal of the heat exchange medium in the corresponding output pipe 134 and switch the flow direction of the heat exchange medium according to the temperature signal.
[0095] In other embodiments, the number of temperature control valves 137 can be one. In this case, the temperature control valve 137 is located on the first pipeline for connecting multiple output pipelines 134 and liquid cooling chamber 121 or connecting multiple output pipelines 134 and liquid outlet.
[0096] refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the second heat exchange assembly 14 may include a first heat exchanger 141 and a first heat exchange pipeline 142. The first heat exchanger 141 is used to heat or cool the first heat exchanger.
[0097] The first heat exchange pipe 142 is attached to the outer peripheral side wall of the tank 12 and is located outside the liquid cooling cavity 121. The first heat exchange pipe 142 is connected to the first heat exchanger 141 and is used to supply the flow of the first heat exchanger so as to exchange heat with the liquid cooling cavity 121 of the tank 12. The first heat exchange pipe 142 and the first heat exchanger 141 form a loop, so that the first heat exchanger after heat exchange can continue to be heated or cooled through the first heat exchanger 141 to realize the recycling of the first heat exchanger.
[0098] For example, the first heat exchange pipeline 142 includes multiple heat exchange tube segments, which can be divided into a first heat exchange tube group and a second heat exchange tube group. The first heat exchange tube segments of the first heat exchange tube group are distributed circumferentially at intervals around the outer periphery of the tank 12, and all heat exchange tube segments extend longitudinally. The second heat exchange tube segments of the second heat exchange tube group extend circumferentially around the tank 12, with a portion of the second heat exchange tube segments distributed at one longitudinal end of the first heat exchange tube group and another portion distributed at the other longitudinal end of the first heat exchange tube group. The second heat exchange tube segments are distributed longitudinally at intervals, and each second heat exchange tube segment communicates with at least two first heat exchange tube segments. The second heat exchange tube segments located at both longitudinal ends of the first heat exchange tube group cooperate and communicate with the first tube segments to form at least one loop.
[0099] In other embodiments, the first heat exchange pipe 142 may also be arranged in a serpentine pattern on the outer periphery of the tank 12. The specific arrangement is not limited, as long as the first heat exchange pipe 142 can be arranged in both the longitudinal and axial directions on the outer peripheral wall of the tank 12 corresponding to the liquid cooling cavity 121.
[0100] At this time, the first heat exchanger 141 forms a loop with the first heat exchange pipeline 142 through a connecting pipe section, which facilitates the circulation of the first heat exchanger between the first heat exchange pipeline 142 and the first heat exchanger 141, that is, the recycling of the first heat exchanger.
[0101] A first valve for controlling the opening and closing of the connecting pipe section is provided at each of the opposite ends of the first heat exchanger 141.
[0102] refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, a pump is provided in the first heat exchanger 141 or the first heat exchange pipeline 142, which can pump the first heat exchanger in the first heat exchange pipeline 142 to realize the flow of the first heat exchanger.
[0103] refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first heat exchanger 141 is equipped with an electric heating module and / or a cooling module. The electric heating module is disposed on the first heat exchange pipeline 142 to heat the first heat exchanger inside the first heat exchange pipeline 142. The heated first heat exchanger can heat the tank 12, thereby heating the heat exchange medium and the working unit inside the tank 12. The cooling module is disposed on the first heat exchange pipeline 142 to cool the first heat exchanger inside the first heat exchange pipeline 142. The cooled first heat exchanger can cool the tank 12, thereby reducing the temperature of the heat exchange medium and the working unit inside the tank 12.
[0104] In some embodiments, the electric heating module may be an electric heating wire.
[0105] In some embodiments, the structure of the cooling module can refer to the structure of the refrigerator described above, and it may include a compression module, a condensation module, a throttling module, and an evaporation module. The evaporation module in the cooling module exchanges heat with the first heat exchange pipeline 142, thereby reducing the temperature of the first heat exchanger in the first heat exchange pipeline 142.
[0106] In some embodiments, the first heat exchanger may be ethylene glycol. In other embodiments, the first heat exchanger may be an ethylene glycol-water solvent.
[0107] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a heat exchange port may be provided on the first heat exchange pipe 142 for allowing an external second heat exchanger to flow into the first heat exchange pipe 142. The second heat exchanger here can be water or steam.
[0108] A second valve is provided at the heat exchange port to open and close the heat exchange port.
[0109] An outlet can also be provided on the first heat exchange pipeline 142. The outlet is connected to the heat exchange port and is used to discharge the second heat exchanger after heat exchange.
[0110] A third valve is installed at the outlet to open and close the outlet.
[0111] In other words, in this embodiment, the second heat exchange component 14 can either heat or cool the first heat exchanger through the first heat exchanger 141, or inject the second heat exchanger into the first heat exchange pipeline 142 through the heat exchange port, thereby exchanging heat with the liquid cooling chamber 121 of the tank 12. The method of directly injecting the second heat exchanger into the first heat exchange pipeline 142 reduces electricity consumption, making it energy-efficient and highly effective.
[0112] In some embodiments, a storage box (not shown in the figure) may be provided at the outlet of the first heat exchange pipeline 142.
[0113] When the second heat exchanger is injected into the first heat exchange pipeline 142, the first heat exchanger in the first heat exchange pipeline 142 can be discharged into the storage box through the outlet for storing the second heat exchanger.
[0114] In other embodiments, the second heat exchanger within the first heat exchange pipe 142 can also be discharged to the outside through a drain port. In this case, the third valve can be a three-way valve.
[0115] In some embodiments, a pump may be installed inside the storage box. After the second heat exchanger in the first heat exchange pipeline 142 is emptied, the first heat exchanger in the storage box can be pumped into the first heat exchange pipeline 142 through the outlet under the action of the pump.
[0116] In other embodiments, the storage box may be disposed outside the tank 12 and located within the accommodating space.
[0117] In other embodiments, the storage box may also be connected to the heat exchange port of the first heat exchange tube 142 for inputting the first heat exchange agent in the storage box into the first heat exchange tube 142 through the heat exchange port.
[0118] In some embodiments, the first heat exchange pipe 142 extends longitudinally to form a liquid cooling section, a control section, and a connecting section. The liquid cooling section is disposed corresponding to the liquid cooling cavity 121 to exchange heat with the heat exchange medium within the liquid cooling cavity 121. The control section is disposed corresponding to the control cavity 122 to exchange heat with the space within the control cavity 122. The two ends of the connecting section are respectively connected to the connection points of the liquid cooling section and the control section via three-way valves.
[0119] The first heat exchanger 141 is installed on the liquid cooling section to exchange heat with the first heat exchanger in the liquid cooling section. The operator can control the operating mode of the three-way valve. On one hand, it can connect the liquid cooling section and the control section to form a complete loop, allowing the first heat exchange pipe 142 to simultaneously cool both the liquid cooling chamber 121 and the control chamber 122. On the other hand, it can connect the liquid cooling section and the connecting section to form a complete loop, allowing the first heat exchange pipe 142 to only heat up and cool down the liquid cooling chamber 121.
[0120] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the immersion liquid-cooled tank container of the present invention, which is equipped with a water-cooling module. Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the immersion liquid-cooled tank container of the present invention, which is equipped with an air-cooling module.
[0121] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the second heat exchange assembly 14 may further include a second heat exchange pipe 143 and a second circulation pump (not shown in the figure). The second heat exchange pipe 143 meanders around the outside of the tank. The two ends of the second heat exchange pipe 143 are respectively connected to the two ends of the tank. The second circulation pump is disposed on the second heat exchange pipe to circulate the heat exchange medium within the second heat exchange pipe 143.
[0122] At this time, the heat exchange medium in the liquid cooling chamber 121 can circulate within the second heat exchange pipe 143 and the liquid cooling chamber 121. When the heat exchange medium flows through the second heat exchange pipe 143, it can exchange heat with the outside air through the second heat exchange pipe 143, thereby reducing the cooling energy consumption of the heat exchange medium and reducing the operating cost of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container.
[0123] In some embodiments, the inlet of the second heat exchange pipe 143 may be connected to the bottom of one longitudinal end of the liquid cooling cavity 121 for the flow of heat exchange medium into the second heat exchange pipe 143. The outlet of the second heat exchange pipe 143 may be located on the upper side of the working unit to input the cooled heat exchange medium to the upper side of the working unit, so that the heat exchange medium flows toward the inlet of the second heat exchange pipe 143 under the action of gravity, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchange medium and the working unit.
[0124] In other embodiments, there may be multiple output ends of the second heat exchange pipe 143, each located above a multiple working unit. There may also be multiple input ends of the second heat exchange pipe 143, spaced apart at the bottom of the liquid cooling chamber 121.
[0125] In other embodiments, the output end of the second heat exchange pipeline 143 may be provided with a spray head to further ensure that the output heat exchange medium is evenly sprayed into the liquid cooling cavity 121, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchange medium and the working unit.
[0126] See Figure 8In this embodiment, the second heat exchange assembly may further include a second heat exchanger 144 and a water-cooling module 145. The second heat exchanger 144 is disposed on the second heat exchange pipeline 143. The second heat exchanger 144 is connected to the water-cooling module 145. The water-cooling module 145 is used to connect to an external water source 40, so that the water in the external water source 40 can exchange heat with the heat exchange medium in the second heat exchange pipeline 143 through the second heat exchanger 144, thereby reducing the temperature of the heat exchange medium. Furthermore, by cooling the heat exchange medium with external water, environmental resources are fully utilized, and the energy consumption of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container is reduced.
[0127] In some embodiments, the water-cooled module 145 can be a water-cooled cooling tower.
[0128] In some embodiments, the water-cooling module 145 may include a filtration unit. The input end of the filtration unit is connected to an external water source, and the output end of the filtration unit is connected to the input end of the second heat exchanger 144. The filtration unit can perform multi-stage filtration of the water flow, thereby improving the cleanliness of the water entering the second heat exchanger 144 and preventing scale and other contaminants from forming inside the second heat exchanger 144, which would affect the cooling efficiency of the heat exchange medium.
[0129] In other embodiments, the filtration unit may consist of a cyclone separator, an automatic backwashing filter, a bag filter, and an ultraviolet sterilizer connected in series to perform filtration treatments such as impurity separation and sterilization on the water.
[0130] See Figure 8 In this embodiment, the water-cooling module 145 may further include a water intake pipe. The water intake pipe is connected to an external water source and a filtration unit. An anti-biofouling coating may be provided inside the water intake pipe.
[0131] See Figure 8 In this embodiment, flow valves may be installed on the water intake pipe and the second heat exchange pipe 143. The water cooling module 145 may also include a dynamic adjustment unit (not shown in the figure). The dynamic adjustment unit may be electrically connected to the flow valves on the water intake pipe and the second heat exchange pipe 143 to control the opening degree of the flow valves. The dynamic adjustment unit may be electrically connected to the controller 15 so that the dynamic adjustment unit can adjust the flow rate of water in the filtration unit and / or the flow rate of heat exchange medium in the second heat exchange pipe in real time based on the temperature of the external water source and the load of the working unit.
[0132] In some embodiments, the second heat exchange assembly 14 may further include a first auxiliary pipeline (not shown in the figure). The input end of the first auxiliary pipeline is connected to the output end of the second heat exchanger 144 to receive water after heat exchange with the heat exchange medium. The output end of the first auxiliary pipeline extends into the control cavity 122, and after being bent within the control cavity 122, extends to the outside so that the water can also exchange heat with the space within the control cavity 122. The second heat exchange assembly 14 can realize multi-stage utilization of water cooling capacity, and can avoid the temperature of the control cavity 122 from being too high and affecting the cooling effect of the liquid cooling cavity 121, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the working unit.
[0133] See Figure 9 In this embodiment, the second heat exchange assembly 14 may further include a third heat exchanger 146 and an air-cooled module 147. The third heat exchanger 146 is disposed on the second heat exchange pipeline 143. The third heat exchanger 146 is connected to the air-cooled module 147, and a third heat exchanger fluid circulates between the third heat exchanger 146 and the air-cooled module 147. The air-cooled module 147 is used to cool the third heat exchanger fluid at the interface with the outside air. The third heat exchanger fluid cools the heat exchange medium through the third heat exchanger 146, thereby achieving uniform cooling of the heat exchange medium through the third heat exchanger fluid and ensuring the temperature stability within the liquid cooling cavity 121.
[0134] In some embodiments, the air-cooled module 147 can be an air-cooled dry refrigeration unit, etc.
[0135] In some embodiments, the air-cooled module 147 is equipped with an air-cooled fan to enable sufficient heat exchange between the air and the third heat exchanger, thereby utilizing air energy to fully cool the third heat exchanger, and then using the cooled third heat exchanger to cool the heat exchange medium, so as to ensure that the temperature in the liquid-cooled cavity 121 is stably reduced.
[0136] In some embodiments, the second heat exchange component 14 may not require the third heat exchanger 146. The air-cooled module 147 is directly mounted on the second heat exchange pipeline 143, so that the air-cooled module 147 directly cools the heat exchange medium in the second heat exchange pipeline 143, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchange medium and the air.
[0137] In some embodiments, the second heat exchange assembly 14 may further include a second auxiliary pipeline (not shown in the figure). The input end of the second auxiliary pipeline is connected to the output end of the ventilation-cooling module. The output end of the second auxiliary pipeline is connected to the control cavity 122, so that the air-cooling module 147 can input air into the control cavity 122 to exchange heat with the various functional structures in the control cavity 122, thereby preventing the temperature of the control cavity 122 from becoming too high and affecting the cooling effect of the liquid cooling cavity 121, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the working unit.
[0138] See Figure 8 and Figure 9In this embodiment, the submersible liquid-cooled tank container can be equipped with a water-cooling module 145 or an air-cooling module 147 as needed, or both water-cooling module 145 and air-cooling module 147 can be installed simultaneously to cool the heat exchange medium in the liquid-cooled cavity 121. This allows the submersible liquid-cooled tank container to use multiple cooling systems to cool the working unit according to the application environment and usage requirements, effectively reducing cooling energy consumption and cooling costs.
[0139] In some embodiments, when the submersible liquid-cooled tank container is equipped with both a water-cooled module 145 and an air-cooled module 147, the second heat exchanger 144 can serve as a third heat exchanger 146, so that both the water-cooled module 145 and the air-cooled module 147 can exchange heat with the heat exchange medium through the second heat exchanger 144, thereby simplifying the structure of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container and improving the space utilization rate of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container.
[0140] In some embodiments, an auxiliary frame 114 may be provided on the frame 11 side. The auxiliary frame 114 is used to accommodate and protect the air-cooled module 147, the water-cooled module 145, the second heat exchanger 144 and / or the third heat exchanger 147.
[0141] In other embodiments, the air-cooled module 147, the water-cooled module 145, the second heat exchanger 144 and / or the third heat exchanger 146 may be disposed outside the tank 12 and located within the accommodating space.
[0142] See Figure 9 In this embodiment, the submersible liquid-cooled tank container may further include multiple baffles 124. The multiple baffles 124 are longitudinally spaced within the liquid-cooling cavity 121. A working unit can be accommodated between two adjacent baffles 124. On one hand, when the submersible liquid-cooled tank container is being transported, the baffles 124 can effectively reduce the inertial impact of the heat exchange medium within the liquid-cooling cavity 121, ensuring the transport stability, reliability, and safety of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container. On the other hand, when the submersible liquid-cooled tank container is in use, the baffles 124 guide the heat exchange medium to flow uniformly between two adjacent working units, allowing the working unit to fully contact the heat exchange medium, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the working unit.
[0143] In some embodiments, the top and bottom of the baffle plate 124 are provided with flow holes for the flow of gas and heat exchange medium. In other embodiments, the middle part of the baffle plate 124 is also provided with flow holes.
[0144] In some embodiments, the baffle plate 124 has multiple flow guide holes. These multiple flow guide holes are spaced apart. Longitudinally, the baffle plate 124 has multiple flow guide plates corresponding to the multiple flow guide holes, and the flow guide plates are spaced apart from the baffle plate 124 longitudinally. The flow guide plates can buffer and guide the heat exchange medium flowing through the flow guide holes, so that after passing through the flow guide holes, the heat exchange medium impacts the flow guide plates and diffuses evenly after impacting them, ensuring uniform temperature of the heat exchange medium at all points after flowing through the baffle plate 124, and guaranteeing the heat exchange effect between the heat exchange medium and the working unit.
[0145] In other embodiments, a baffle plate is disposed downstream of the baffle plate 124 to buffer the heat exchange medium flowing through the baffle plate 124 in real time.
[0146] In other embodiments, the deflector may be arranged parallel to the wave deflector 124.
[0147] In other embodiments, the deflector may be tilted relative to the baffle 124, and there may be an included angle between any two adjacent deflectors in the vertical or horizontal direction.
[0148] In other embodiments, the deflector may be cone-shaped, and the cross-sectional area of the deflector gradually decreases in the direction toward the adjacent wave deflector 124.
[0149] In some embodiments, the edges of the baffle plate 124 are smooth to avoid stress concentration in the baffle plate 124 and to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the baffle plate.
[0150] In some embodiments, the two outermost baffles 124 may be disposed inside the cylinder 123. Furthermore, in the longitudinal direction, the distance between the two outermost baffles 124 and the adjacent end cap 124 is less than the diameter of the tank 12.
[0151] In other embodiments, multiple working units can also be accommodated between two adjacent baffle plates 124. In this case, multiple working units can be stacked vertically to form a working unit group, so that the baffle plates 124 can guide the heat exchange medium to flow uniformly between two adjacent working unit groups, thereby enabling the working units of each working unit group to have full contact with the heat exchange medium and effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the working units.
[0152] The temperature control system may also include a controller 15. The controller 15 may be electrically connected to the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 14. Specifically, the controller 15 is electrically connected to the refrigerator 131, the first circulating pump 136, and the first heat exchanger 141, and is used to control the opening and closing of the first circulating pump 136, the refrigerator 131, and the first heat exchanger 141. The controller 15 is also electrically connected to the temperature control valve 137, and is used to control the temperature control valve 137 to switch the flow direction of the heat exchange medium.
[0153] The controller can also be electrically connected to the pump and the first heat exchanger 141 to control the first heat exchanger 141 to heat up or cool down the first heat exchanger.
[0154] The controller can also be electrically connected to the second and third valves to control the input and output of the first heat exchanger.
[0155] The controller can also be electrically connected to a second circulation pump to control the flow rate of the heat exchange medium.
[0156] The controller can also be electrically connected to water-cooled modules and air-cooled modules to control the start-up, shutdown, and operating efficiency of the water-cooled modules and air-cooled modules.
[0157] In this embodiment, the controller 15 can also be used to adjust the operating power of the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 14.
[0158] refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the temperature control system may further include a temperature detector 16, which is used to detect the temperature signal of the working unit. Specifically, the temperature detector 16 includes a display unit and a probe. The display unit is located in the control cavity 122, and the probe is electrically connected to the display unit. The probe passes through the partition 126 and extends into the working unit in the liquid cooling cavity 121 to detect the temperature signal of the working unit and display the temperature signal of the working unit on the display unit.
[0159] Temperature detector 16 is electrically connected to controller 15. Controller 15 can receive the temperature signal of the working unit detected by temperature detector 16. Controller 15 can control the opening and closing of the first heat exchange component and / or the second heat exchange component 14 according to the temperature signal of the working unit, and / or can adjust the operating power of the first heat exchange component and / or the second heat exchange component 14 according to the temperature signal of the working unit.
[0160] In some embodiments, the controller 15 has a first preset temperature value and a second preset temperature value preset therein, wherein the first preset temperature is less than the second preset temperature.
[0161] The controller 15 is configured to: activate the first heat exchange component and / or the second heat exchange component 14 to cool the working unit when the temperature signal acquired by the temperature detector 16 is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature value; activate the second heat exchange component 14 to heat the working unit when the temperature signal acquired by the temperature detector 16 is less than or equal to the first preset temperature value; and stop operating the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 14 when the temperature signal acquired by the temperature detector 16 is between the first preset temperature value and the second preset temperature value.
[0162] In some other embodiments, the controller 15 is provided with a first preset temperature value, a second preset temperature value and a third preset temperature value, wherein the first preset temperature value is less than the second preset temperature value and the second preset temperature value is less than the third preset temperature value.
[0163] When the temperature signal of the working unit is greater than the first preset temperature value and less than the second preset temperature value, the controller 15 controls the second heat exchange component 14 to start, and / or the controller 15 adjusts the operating power of the second heat exchange component 14 to heat up the working unit. When the temperature signal of the working unit is greater than the second preset temperature value and less than the third preset temperature value, the controller 15 controls the first heat exchange component to start and controls the second heat exchange component 14 to shut down, and / or the controller 15 adjusts the operating power of the first heat exchange component to cool down the working unit. When the temperature signal of the working unit is greater than the third preset temperature value, the controller 15 controls both the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 14 to start, and / or the controller 15 adjusts the operating power of both the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 14 to cool down the working unit.
[0164] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) may be installed inside the control cavity 122. The temperature sensor is used to acquire the temperature signal of the control cavity 122.

The controller 15 can be electrically connected to the three-way valve in the first heat exchange pipeline 142 to switch the operating mode of the three-way valve. The liquid cooling section can be connected to the control section or the communication section.
[0165] In some embodiments, the controller 15 is provided with a preset temperature value for the control cavity. When the temperature of the control cavity 122 obtained by the temperature sensor is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value, the controller 15 switches the operating mode of the three-way valve to connect the liquid cooling section and the control section, thereby simultaneously cooling the liquid cooling cavity 121 and the control cavity 122. When the temperature of the control cavity 122 obtained by the temperature sensor is less than the preset temperature value, the controller 15 switches the operating mode of the three-way valve to connect the liquid cooling section and the connecting section, thereby cooling only the liquid cooling cavity 121.

[0173] refer to Figure 6 The submersible liquid-cooled tank container may also include a display terminal 19, which is located on the tank body 12. The display terminal 19 is electrically connected to the pressure detector and the temperature detector 16, and is used to display pressure signals, temperature signals of the working unit, and voltage / current signals of the working unit for personnel to view. Specifically, the display panel is located on the end cap 124 at one end of the liquid-cooled cavity 121 of the cylinder 123.
[0174] The submersible liquid-cooled tank container may also include a solar cell box 20, which is electrically connected to the display terminal 19 to convert solar energy into electrical energy and to power the display terminal 19. Specifically, the solar cell box 20 is located on the end cap 124 at one end of the liquid-cooled cavity 121 of the tank body 12.
[0175] In this embodiment, the submersible liquid-cooled tank container may also include a thermoelectric generator (not shown in the figure). One end of the thermoelectric generator extends into the liquid-cooled cavity 121 and is located close to the working unit; the other end of the thermoelectric generator may be located in the liquid-cooled cavity 121 and close to the inner wall of the liquid-cooled cavity 121, so that the two ends of the thermoelectric generator can have a temperature difference to generate electrical energy using the Seebeck effect.
[0176] In some embodiments, the end of the thermoelectric generator away from the working unit can extend outside the tank 12.
[0177] In some embodiments, one end of the thermoelectric generator may be located in the liquid cooling cavity 121, and the other end may be located in the control cavity 122.
[0178] In some embodiments, there may be multiple thermoelectric generators. Multiple thermoelectric generators can be connected in series and / or in parallel as needed to increase the total output voltage and / or total current.
[0179] In other embodiments, the thermoelectric generator may be electrically connected to pressure detectors, temperature detectors 16, temperature sensors and / or voltage / current detectors 17, thereby providing auxiliary power to the various functional components and reducing the energy consumption of the immersion liquid-cooled tank container.
[0180] In some embodiments, the output terminal of the thermoelectric generator is also provided with a voltage regulator converter (not shown in the figure) to stabilize the output voltage, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the electrical structure.

[0182] refer to Figure 2 The submersible liquid-cooled tank container may also include a siphon 21, one end of which passes through the side wall of the tank 12 from top to bottom and extends into the liquid-cooled cavity 121. The inlet of the siphon 21 is located above the bottom wall of the tank 12. The siphon 21 is used to discharge the heat exchange medium in the liquid-cooled cavity 121 to the outside through the siphon effect.
[0183] refer to Figure 2The submersible liquid-cooled tank container also includes a mounting frame 22. The mounting frame 22 is located within the liquid-cooling cavity 121 and is used to mount the working unit. Specifically, the mounting frame 22 has multiple independent accommodating cavities, each accommodating one working unit.
[0184] When assembling the submersible liquid-cooled tank container, the end cap 124 at the corresponding end of the liquid-cooled cavity 121 can be separated from the cylinder 123 to open the liquid-cooled cavity 121, thus facilitating the placement of the working unit onto the mounting bracket 22 inside the liquid-cooled cavity 121. After placement, the end cap 124 is then connected and installed onto the cylinder 123. Alternatively, the mounting bracket 22 can be pulled out of the liquid-cooled cavity 121 using the casters at the bottom of the mounting bracket 22. After the working unit is fully placed on the mounting bracket 22, the mounting bracket 22 is pushed into the liquid-cooled cavity 121, and the end cap 124 is then connected and installed onto the cylinder 123.
[0185] The mounting bracket 22 is detachably connected to the tank 12 so that the mounting bracket 22 can be removed from the inside of the tank 12 for the installation of the working unit, and then the mounting bracket 22 can be placed inside the tank 12.
[0186] In other embodiments, movable wheels can be arranged at circumferential intervals at the bottom of the mounting frame 22 to facilitate the removal of the mounting frame 22 from the inside of the tank 12, or to move the mounting frame 22 into the inside of the tank 12, thus saving manpower.
[0187] In some embodiments, a guide rail may be provided on the top of the liquid cooling chamber 121. A crane is provided on the guide rail. The crane can lift part of the working unit to the opening of the cylinder 123, thereby facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the working unit and improving work efficiency.
[0188] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 In this embodiment, the submersible liquid-cooled tank container also includes a ladder 23, which is rotatably connected to the tank body 12 or the frame 11, so that the ladder 23 can be opened by rotating in the direction away from the tank body 12 for workers to walk on; or, the ladder 23 can be retracted by rotating in the direction of the tank body 12 to facilitate the transportation of the entire submersible liquid-cooled tank container.
[0189] Specifically, a hatch is provided on the tank body 12 at the corresponding control cavity 122. The ladder 23 covers the hatch and is rotatably connected to the tank body 12, thereby enabling the hatch to be opened and closed, so that personnel can enter the control cavity 122 to perform inspection, maintenance, replacement and other operations on the various circuit devices located in the control cavity 122.
[0190] refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, the submersible liquid-cooled tank container adopts a single-phase submersible liquid cooling method, that is, a heat exchange medium with high boiling point, low viscosity, high thermal conductivity, low volatility and good compatibility is used to cool the working unit.
[0191] An example is given of the working principle of the temperature control system of the above-mentioned submersible liquid-cooled tank container, including the following: S1. Detect the temperature signal of the working unit located inside the tank 12.
[0192] Specifically, the temperature signal of the working unit is detected by the temperature detector 16 and fed back to the controller 15.
[0193] S2. Control the opening and closing of the first heat exchange component and / or the second heat exchange component 14 according to the temperature signal of the working unit.
[0194] Specifically, when the temperature signal of the working unit is greater than a first preset temperature value and less than a second preset temperature value, the second heat exchange component 14 is activated. At this time, when the submersible liquid-cooled tank container is in an environment close to the second heat exchanger source, the second heat exchanger (e.g., tap water) can be preferentially injected into the heat exchange port of the first heat exchange pipeline 142 to exchange heat with the working unit and cool it down. Alternatively, when in an environment far from the second heat exchanger source, the controller 15 controls the first heat exchanger 141 of the second heat exchange component 14 to activate, so as to deliver the cooled and appropriately priced first heat exchanger into the first heat exchange pipeline 142 to cool the working unit.
[0195] When the temperature signal is greater than the second preset temperature value and less than the third preset temperature value, the first heat exchange component is started and the second heat exchange component 14 is turned off. Specifically, the controller 15 controls the refrigerator 131, the first circulation pump 136, and the temperature control valve 137 of the first heat exchange component to start, so as to deliver the cooled heat exchange medium with a temperature lower than or equal to the second preset temperature value into the liquid cooling chamber 121.
[0196] When the temperature signal exceeds the third preset temperature value, both the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 14 are activated. Specifically, the controller 15 controls both the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 14 to be activated.
[0197] When the temperature signal is lower than the first preset temperature value but higher than the low temperature preset value through the above-described method, the controller 15 controls the second heat exchange component 14 and the first heat exchange component to shut down. Alternatively, it stops injecting the second heat exchanger into the first heat exchange pipeline 142. The low temperature preset value is lower than the normal operating temperature of the working unit.
[0198] When the temperature signal is lower than the preset low temperature value, the second heat exchange component 14 is activated to raise the temperature. At this time, when the submersible liquid-cooled tank container is in an environment close to the second heat exchanger source, the second heat exchanger (e.g., steam) can be preferentially injected into the heat exchange port of the first heat exchange pipeline 142 to heat the working unit. Alternatively, in an environment far from the second heat exchanger source, the controller 15 controls the first heat exchanger 141 of the second heat exchange component 14 to start, and / or adjusts the operating power of the first heat exchanger 141 to deliver the heated and appropriately priced first heat exchanger into the first heat exchange pipeline 142 to raise the temperature of the working unit.
[0199] In this embodiment, the working principle of the temperature control system of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container may also include the following: S3. Between steps S1 and S2, detect the voltage / current signal of the working unit located inside the tank 12.
[0200] Specifically, the voltage / current signal of the working unit is detected by the voltage / current detector 17 and fed back to the controller 15.
[0201] S4. Following or replacing step S2, adjust the operating power of the first heat exchange component and / or the second heat exchange component 14 based on the temperature signal of the working unit. For specific details, refer to the method described in step S2 where the controller 15 controls the first heat exchange component and / or the second heat exchange component 14.
[0202] Second embodiment of submersible liquid-cooled tank container Figure 10 This is a longitudinal sectional view of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in this embodiment.
[0203] refer to Figure 10 The difference between the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the heat exchange medium is a low-boiling-point liquid. When the low-boiling-point liquid absorbs the heat generated by the working unit, it will evaporate to form a gaseous heat exchange medium.
[0204] Referring to the structure of the refrigerator 131 described above, the refrigerator 131 in this embodiment includes a compression module, a condensation module, a throttling module, and an evaporation module 3312 connected in sequence. In this case, there is no need to install a transition pipeline. The compression module, condensation module, and throttling module are disposed within the control chamber 322. The evaporation module 3312 is disposed within the liquid cooling chamber 121 and is located above the heat exchange medium. The evaporation module 3312 communicates with the liquid cooling chamber 121 so that the cooling capacity within the evaporation module 3312 can be input into the liquid cooling chamber 121. This allows the evaporation module 3312 to directly absorb heat from the gaseous heat exchange medium within the liquid cooling chamber 121 during refrigerant evaporation, causing the gaseous heat exchange medium to condense into a liquid heat exchange medium, thereby achieving a phase change cycle of the heat exchange medium and effectively reducing the temperature of the working unit.
[0205] At this time, the cooler 131 does not directly supply the cooled heat exchange medium to the liquid-cooled cavity 321. Instead, the evaporation module 3312 is directly placed inside the liquid-cooled cavity 121, thereby achieving full contact between the evaporation module 3312 and the gaseous heat exchange medium and improving the heat exchange efficiency between the evaporation module 3312 and the heat exchange medium. After absorbing heat from the working unit, the heat exchange medium in the liquid-cooled cavity 321 vaporizes. The vaporized heat exchange medium is in a gaseous state and moves upwards towards the liquid-cooled cavity 321. Upon encountering the evaporation module 3312, the gaseous heat exchange medium absorbs the cooling energy generated by the phase change of the refrigerant evaporation in the evaporation module 3312, cools down, and forms a liquid heat exchange medium. It then falls downwards to continue absorbing heat from the working unit, thus realizing the circulation of the heat exchange medium.
[0206] That is, the working unit is cooled by boiling phase change of the heat exchange medium. This method has a large heat transfer coefficient and is a two-phase immersion liquid cooling.
[0207] In some embodiments, the low-boiling-point heat exchange medium in this embodiment may be an electronic fluorinated liquid such as perfluorohexanone.
[0208] The heat exchange medium in this embodiment also has non-flammable properties.
[0209] In this embodiment, the first heat exchange component further includes a temperature sensor 336. The temperature sensor 336 is disposed within the cooler 131 to acquire the temperature of the refrigerant. The temperature sensor 336 is electrically connected to the controller 34. The controller 34 adjusts the operating power of the cooler 331 based on the refrigerant temperature signal detected by the temperature sensor 336 or the temperature signal of the working unit detected by the temperature detector 35.
[0210] The working principle of the temperature control system of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in this embodiment is roughly the same as that of the temperature control system of the submersible liquid-cooled tank container in the first embodiment. It should be noted that the difference between the two is: In this embodiment, in step S2, specifically when the temperature signal of the working unit is greater than the second preset temperature value and less than the third preset temperature value, the controller 34 controls the first heat exchange component to start. Specifically, the controller 34 controls the refrigerator 331 of the first heat exchange component to start, so as to deliver cooling capacity to the evaporation module 3312 located in the liquid cooling chamber 321, so that the vapor generated by the phase change of the electronic fluorinated liquid falls back to the working unit as liquid, and continues to exchange heat with the working unit.
[0211] The structure of the frame 31, tank 32, partition 325, cooling fan 3311 of the cooler 331, second heat exchange component, temperature detector 35, voltage / current detector 36, siphon 38, mounting bracket 39, step ladder, solar cell box, display terminal, pressure relief valve 326, and cooling fan 37, which are not specifically described in this embodiment, are the same as in the first embodiment and can be referred to the description of the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0212] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following advantages and positive effects: In the submersible liquid-cooled tank container of this application, in practical applications, the first heat exchange component and / or the second heat exchange component can be selected to achieve cooling and heat dissipation of the working unit, or the second heat exchange component can be selected to achieve heating of the working unit, so that the working unit is in an environment with normal operating temperature, thereby making it easier for the working unit to adapt to situations with large temperature differences in the environment and ensuring the normal operation of the working unit.
[0213] The combination of a first heat exchange component and a second heat exchange component allows the submerged liquid-cooled tank container to select at least one cooling method for the working unit as needed, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the working unit and reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the cooling method of immersing the working unit in the heat exchange medium simplifies the internal piping layout of the tank, eliminating the need for extensive internal piping.
[0214] Furthermore, taking advantage of the tank's excellent safety in transporting liquids, the tank is used as a liquid-cooled shell, and the interior of the tank is divided into a control chamber 322 and a sealed liquid-cooled chamber 321 by setting a partition. The control chamber 322 is used to install the electrical structure such as the refrigerator of the first heat exchange component, while the liquid-cooled chamber is used to house the working unit and the heat exchange medium. That is, the partition achieves dry and wet separation of the tank's containment space to ensure the safety performance of the electrical structure such as the refrigerator of the first heat exchange component.
[0215] Although the invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is illustrative and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
