Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an immersion cooling technology for immersing and cooling a heating element using a dielectric fluid, wherein

[0002] In particular, simultaneously achieving prevention of contamination during fluid replenishment, volume compensation due to thermal expansion / contraction, prevention of leakage when inserting or removing modules (cartridges), and airtightness of electronic node inlet / outlet openings and suppression of fluid / component degradation.

[0003] The invention relates to a reservoir assembly, an immersion cartridge, and an immersion cooling system including the same. Background Technology

[0004] Immersion cooling systems have the advantage of efficiently removing heat generated from servers, workstations, high-performance computing devices, etc., but

[0005] There was a problem where the fluid oxidized or foreign substances entered due to contact with the outside air when the reservoir lid or inlet was opened to replenish fluid.

[0006] In addition, the fluid volume changes due to thermal expansion or contraction caused by temperature variations during operation, and consequently, hydraulic fluctuations or the movement of compensating fluid are required.

[0007] Meanwhile, when operating with a modular structure, a small amount of fluid (drip) dripping from the connector when separating / replacing the cartridge may contaminate the floor, or

[0008] Depending on the characteristics of the dielectric fluid, there is a concern that it may cause device corrosion.

[0009] In particular, certain dielectric fluids, such as fluorine-based ones, can generate acidic byproducts due to moisture or oxidation reactions, which can affect component reliability during long-term operation.

[0010] In addition, when an opening and an interface are formed in the immersion portion (first chamber) of the immersion cartridge for the input / output and I / O connection of the electronic node,

[0011] If external moisture or oxygen penetrates through the opening, or if airtightness deteriorates over the long term, the insulating properties (non-conductivity) of the dielectric fluid may decrease, potentially leading to reduced system reliability. The problem to be solved

[0012] The present invention aims to solve the following problems.

[0013] First, it provides a double-sealed structure for the storage tank to prevent the fluid inside the main tank from being directly exposed to the outside air during the fluid replenishment process.

[0014] Second, it provides a flow path that simultaneously achieves the removal of fluid contaminants and the reduction of pump load during the volume compensation process due to the thermal expansion / contraction of the fluid.

[0015] Third, it prevents leakage accidents by capturing and isolating residual fluid drip that may occur during cartridge insertion and removal within the cartridge itself.

[0016] Fourth, double sealing and physicochemical protection are applied to the electronic node inlet / outlet openings and I / O interface parts to suppress moisture penetration / oxidation and degradation of dielectric fluid insulation. means of solving the problem

[0017] The configurations relating to the immersion cooling system, the configurations relating to the reservoir assembly, and the configurations relating to the immersion cartridge described in this specification are,

[0018] They share interconnected technical features based on a common inventive concept of preventing contamination during the fluid replenishment process, compensating for volume changes during operation, and preventing leakage during the maintenance process.

[0019] To solve the above problem, the present invention places a pretreatment chamber (121) on the upper part of a reservoir assembly (120), and

[0020] A filter cartridge (150) is placed between the pretreatment chamber (121) and the main tank (122) to shield and seal the opening of the main tank (122).

[0021] Accordingly, even if the cap of the manual injection port (123) is opened, the fluid inside the main tank (122) is prevented from coming into direct contact with the outside air (secondary sealing).

[0022] The filter cartridge (150) may include a physical filtration layer (particle removal) and a chemical filtration layer (adsorption / neutralization of acidic byproducts), and

[0023] This can improve the long-term stability of the dielectric fluid (including the management of the Total Anomaly (TAN)).

[0024] In addition, the circulation path of the liquid immersion cooling system includes a radiator (160) to release heat of the fluid to the outside, and

[0025] The return fluid from the radiator (160) flows into the pretreatment chamber (121) and, if necessary, passes through the filter cartridge (150) and is stored in the main tank (122).

[0026] In addition, the liquid immersion cartridge (200) divides the first chamber (210) into which fluid is filled and the second chamber (220) into which fluid is substantially absent by a partition wall, and

[0027] A fluid connector (230) is placed in the second chamber (220), and a collection unit (224) is placed below the fluid connector (230) to collect residual fluid.

[0028] If necessary, the fluid connector (230) can be placed in a recessed position, and

[0029] The collection unit (224) may include a polymer absorbent, or the second chamber (220) may include a gasket door to block the entry of external foreign matter.

[0030] In addition, an internal sealing device (211) and an external sealing device (212) are applied to the electronic node inlet / outlet opening of the first chamber (210) to form a double seal, and

[0031] A physicochemical contamination prevention cartridge (213) and / or an electronic node I / O connector module (214) are installed in the intermediate drying space between them to improve airtightness performance and long-term reliability.

[0032] Furthermore, in addition to the physicochemical contamination prevention cartridge (213) being placed in the intermediate drying space,

[0033] It may also be placed in the lower space within the second chamber (220), particularly near the fluid connector (230) and / or the collection unit (224), and

[0034] In this case, one or more (multiple) cartridges (213) may be provided. Effects of the invention

[0036] According to the present invention, even when replenishing fluid, exposure of the fluid in the main tank to the outside air is prevented, thereby suppressing oxidation and contamination, and

[0037] The accumulation of acidic byproducts is reduced through the chemical filtration layer, thereby decreasing the risk of corrosion.

[0038] In addition, filtering can be selectively applied during the volume compensation process to reduce pump load and maintenance burden.

[0039] In addition, drip leakage is suppressed by the dry buffer (second chamber) and collection unit within the cartridge itself,

[0040] Clean and safe maintenance is possible even in office or general indoor environments.

[0041] In addition, moisture penetration / oxidation and degradation of insulation are suppressed through double sealing of the electronic node opening and physicochemical protection at multiple locations (intermediate dry space and / or lower part of the second chamber),

[0042] The long-term reliability of electronic nodes and connectors is improved. Brief explanation of the drawing

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0044] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and is defined by the claims.

[0046] (1) Overall system configuration (Fig. 1a, Fig. 1b)

[0047] Referring to FIGS. 1a and 1b, the immersion cooling system comprises a circulation device (e.g., a circulation pump 140) that circulates a fluid,

[0048] Radiator (160) (example of a heat exchanger),

[0049] A circulation path including a reservoir assembly (120) can be formed.

[0050] The immersion chamber in which the dielectric fluid is received can be implemented as one or more immersion cartridges (200) or fluid receiving spaces (e.g., tank, housing, etc.), and

[0051] The above liquid immersion cartridge (200) can be detachably coupled through the manifold unit (130).

[0052] FIG. 1a illustrates an exemplary embodiment in which a plurality of liquid immersion cartridges (200) are arranged in a bookshelf-like / vertical direction, and

[0053] FIG. 1b illustrates a modified embodiment (e.g., horizontal arrangement) with a different cartridge placement direction while maintaining the same fluid circuit concept.

[0054] The present invention is not limited to the number of cartridges, manifold structure, type of radiator (including air-cooled / water-cooled / chiller), type of circulation device, etc.

[0056] As an example of fluid flow,

[0057] Fluid is supplied to the circulation pump (140) through the suction port (filter bypass) at the bottom of the main tank (122), and

[0058] The fluid discharged from the pump (140) is distributed to each liquid immersion cartridge (200) through the manifold unit (130) and circulated, and then

[0059] It flows into the radiator (160) through the return line and is cooled, and

[0060] The return fluid discharged from the radiator (160) can be introduced into the pretreatment chamber (121) of the reservoir assembly (120).

[0061] A compensation operation is also possible in which fluid expanded by thermal expansion during operation flows back into the pretreatment chamber (121), passes through the filter cartridge (150), and is stored in the main tank (122).

[0063] (2) Reservoir assembly (Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b)

[0064] Referring to FIGS. 2a and 2b, the reservoir assembly (120) includes a main tank (122) and a pretreatment chamber (121).

[0065] The pretreatment chamber (121) may be formed to be in communication with a manual inlet (123) and a return water inlet port (e.g., a return line from a radiator (160)).

[0066] A filter cartridge (150) is placed between the pretreatment chamber (121) and the main tank (122), and

[0067] The filter cartridge (150) shields and seals the opening of the main tank (122) (secondary sealing) through a sealing part such as an O-ring.

[0068] Therefore, even when the cap of the manual inlet (123) is opened, the fluid in the main tank (122) is prevented from being directly exposed to the outside air.

[0069] Additionally, the above-mentioned return water inlet port may include a nozzle portion configured to spray return water into the pretreatment chamber (121).

[0071] The filter cartridge (150) may include a physical filtration layer and a chemical filtration layer, and

[0072] The chemical filtration layer can reduce the increase in the total acid number (TAN) of the fluid by including means for removing acidic byproducts, such as acid scavengers or ion exchange resins.

[0073] The filter cartridge (150) can be implemented as a replaceable type that can be inserted / removed from the pretreatment chamber (121).

[0075] FIG. 2a illustrates a state in which the cap can be opened using dotted lines, etc., while

[0076] This is an example emphasizing a structure (double seal) in which the main tank (122) is shielded by a filter cartridge (150), and

[0077] Figure 2b illustrates the basic operating structure with the cap closed.

[0079] (3) Immersion cartridge (Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b)

[0080] Referring to FIGS. 3a and 3b, the liquid immersion cartridge (200) comprises a first chamber (210) (Wet Zone) in which dielectric fluid is filled, and

[0081] It includes a dry second chamber (220) (Dry Zone or Safety Buffer Zone) separated by a partition.

[0082] A fluid connector (230) connected to an external fluid circuit is disposed in the second chamber (220), and

[0083] A collection unit (224) (e.g., drip tray) for collecting residual fluid generated during the connector coupling / separation process is disposed below the fluid connector (230).

[0084] The fluid connector (230) can be positioned in a location recessed inward from the outer wall surface, and

[0085] The collection unit (224) can gel the residual fluid by including a polymer absorbent.

[0086] In addition, the second chamber (220) may be equipped with a gasket door that blocks the entry of external foreign matter when combined.

[0087] Additionally, the fluid connector (230) may include an internal valve (e.g., an automatic shut-off valve) that blocks the flow path when separated from the external fluid circuit.

[0088] Thus, double leakage prevention is achieved by blocking the flow path by the internal valve of the connector and isolating the residual fluid by the second chamber (220) / collection unit (224).

[0090] Additionally, an internal sealing device (211) and an external sealing device (212) may be disposed in the opening for the electronic node insertion / extraction of the first chamber (210) to form a double sealing structure.

[0091] An intermediate drying space in which dielectric fluid is substantially absent can be formed between the inner sealing device (211) and the outer sealing device (212), and

[0092] One or more physicochemical anti-contamination cartridges (213) may be installed in the above intermediate drying space to suppress moisture penetration / oxidation and degradation of insulation.

[0093] In addition, an electronic node I / O connector module (214) for electrically connecting various I / O terminals of the electronic node to the outside can be installed in the above intermediate drying space, and

[0094] At this time, the connector module (214) can be configured to enable electrical connection while maintaining airtightness through a feed-through and / or porting structure, etc.

[0096] As illustrated in FIGS. 3a and 3b, in addition to the physicochemical contamination prevention cartridge (213) being placed in the intermediate drying space,

[0097] It may also be additionally placed in the lower space within the second chamber (220), particularly near the fluid connector (230) and / or the collection unit (224), and

[0098] In this case, the cartridge (213) is provided in multiple units to perform dehumidification / oxidation inhibition / acid byproduct reduction functions at multiple locations.

[0099] The contamination prevention cartridge (213) placed in the lower space above is configured separately from the absorbent (e.g., polymer absorbent) that may be included in the collection unit (224), and can be configured to be replaceable in the form of a cartridge.

[0101] FIG. 3a illustrates an exemplary embodiment in which a fluid connector (230) is positioned laterally, and

[0102] FIG. 3b illustrates a modified embodiment (e.g., downward connector) in which the arrangement direction of the fluid connector (230) is different while maintaining the same inventive concept.

[0103] The external shape, opening position, connector orientation, and internal seal / door shape of the cartridge can be varied depending on the application environment.

[0104] (4) Volume compensation and Euro logic (example)

[0105] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the fluid undergoes thermal expansion, the expanded fluid flows back into the pretreatment chamber (121) through the return inlet port.

[0106] After passing through the filter cartridge (150) in the forward direction, it can be stored in the main tank (122).

[0107] Conversely, when the fluid contracts, the stored fluid does not pass through the filter cartridge (150) through the lower suction port of the main tank (122).

[0108] It can be supplied to the suction side of the circulation device.

[0109] This unidirectional filtration-bidirectional compensation path can simultaneously achieve filtering efficiency and pump load reduction.

[0110] However, the present invention is not limited thereto and can be implemented through various valves / orifices / flow control means. Explanation of the symbols
