Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a cooling device for a data center, specifically a modular dual-cooling-source data center cooling system combined with fresh air. Background Art
[0002] The atmosphere contains a large amount of corrosive gases (such as H2S, HCL, SOx, NOx, etc.) and dust particles. In a data center, there are a large number of data processing devices. If the outdoor air directly enters the indoor air without treatment, these precision instruments will suffer serious corrosion, affecting their normal use. In addition, the data center has higher requirements for dust than other ordinary environments.
[0003] Since a data center is for data exchange and storage, it will emit a large amount of heat energy, and air flow is required to take away this heat energy to prevent server downtime. Due to the particularity of the data center, the air flow temperature cannot be too low or too high. If it is too low, condensation will occur, easily causing short circuits in each data module; if the heat cannot be taken away when it is too high, it will also affect the operation of the data module.
[0004] A data center generally operates throughout the year, and the equipment generates heat throughout the year, and its heat needs to be taken away. Since the natural temperature difference is large throughout the four seasons of the year, it is completely possible to directly exchange heat with nature by utilizing the large temperature difference between the four seasons and day and night in nature; at the same time, the evaporation refrigeration can be utilized due to the relatively low water content in the air in the north to achieve the goal of high efficiency and energy saving.
[0005] Currently, the cooling equipment for data centers is basically separated from fresh air. The fresh air is responsible for the positive pressure environment of the data center, and the cooling equipment is solved by full return air through water evaporation or mechanical refrigeration (direct expansion and water cooling). This situation is not conducive to achieving maximum energy saving according to the temperature difference between seasons and day and night, nor is it conducive to adjusting the temperature difference according to the dryness and wetness of the four seasons to achieve the purpose of energy saving. On the one hand, for mechanical refrigeration, when the environmental temperature is low, refrigeration is not good for the compression refrigeration system, and the compressor cannot work in harsh conditions, while at this time, the natural low-temperature environment can actually be used for cooling; on the other hand, in autumn, the climate is dry, and water is easy to evaporate and absorb heat to cool down, so the natural dryness and wetness can be used to adjust the temperature difference.
[0006] Patent 2019101562507, "Data Center Air Conditioning System Combining Mechanical Refrigeration System and Natural Cooling Method", describes that after heat exchange with the outside world using water or ethylene glycol as the primary or secondary medium, it then flows through pipelines to the data center and exchanges heat with the indoor air of the data center. There are problems such as a complex pipeline system, no direct utilization of the temperature difference between the four seasons and day and night in nature, the need to exchange heat with water or ethylene glycol, reducing the heat exchange efficiency. And there is also the problem of pipeline leakage, bringing irreparable losses to the data center. In addition, the slightly positive pressure environment required by the data center still needs to be maintained by an additional fresh air fan, increasing equipment and maintenance costs.
[0007] Therefore, developing a modular dual-cooling-source data center cooling system combined with fresh air can solve such problems. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a modular dual-cooling-source data center cooling system combined with fresh air to solve the above problems, providing a fresh air treatment section module, a mixed air section module, a water evaporation refrigeration section module, and a mechanical refrigeration section module. The present invention has the characteristics of combining fresh air and air conditioning, reducing the one-time investment and maintenance costs; making full use of the day-night temperature difference and the dry-wet conditions in all seasons of the fresh air in the slightly positive pressure environment required by the data center for adjustment, with high energy efficiency; modular combination, simple and convenient installation, avoiding low-temperature compressor refrigeration, and high reliability; adopting a self-cleaning filter, reducing the labor and the cost of filter replacement and maintenance; directly sending air with appropriate temperature and humidity into the data center through the air duct system, avoiding the installation and maintenance of complex pipeline systems and excessive equipment, realizing a slightly positive pressure in the protection space on the basis of ensuring the cleanliness of the data center environment, and the system can automatically adjust the configuration of the cooling source according to the actual situation of the natural environment to maximize energy conservation.

[0028] The usage state of the present invention is: Example
[0029] As Figure 1 shown, a modular dual-cooling-source data center cooling system combined with fresh air mainly consists of a fresh air treatment section, a mixing section, a water evaporation refrigeration section, and a mechanical refrigeration section. Each section module can be separately fabricated and then combined, or can be fabricated integrally.
[0030] As Figure 1 , 2, 3 shown, when the system starts to work, the first fan 10 in the mixing section module is turned on to draw air from the external environment. The external air flow (fresh air) a1 first slowly passes through the first air valve 4 and enters the self-cleaning filter device. After most of the dust is separated here, it then passes through the chemical filter 5 and the medium-efficiency physical filter 6. The fresh air flow is purified and becomes a clean air flow a2 that comes out from the first air outlet 3 of the fresh air treatment section and then enters the mixing section.
[0031] In the self-cleaning filter device, the dust separated from the air flow a1 is discharged outward through the third fan 28.
[0032] In the chemical filter 5, the harmful gases in the air flow react with the impregnating material in the chemical filter 5 to generate non-toxic and harmless gases, and then enter the medium-efficiency physical filter 6. Here, the small particulate dust in the air flow is blocked by the filter again and is retained on the medium-efficiency physical filter 6. When the air resistance reaches the set value, the medium-efficiency physical filter 6 needs to be replaced.
[0033] As Figure 1, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the clean air stream a2 exits from the first air outlet 3 of the fresh air treatment section module and enters the air mixing section module. After mixing with the indoor return air stream b2 from the second air valve 13 of the return air outlet 12, it is drawn by the first fan 10. Sent out by the first fan 10, it passes through the high-efficiency physical filter 11 and becomes a clean positive pressure air stream c1, and then enters the water evaporation refrigeration section.
[0034] As Figure 3 shown, the air b1 that comes out of the room and enters the return air duct 14, a part b3 passes through the third air valve 16 and is extracted by the second fan 15 and discharged to the outside. Another part b2 passes through the second air valve 13 and enters the air mixing section, mixes with the air stream a2 from the first air outlet 3 of the fresh air treatment section module, and is inhaled by the first fan 10.
[0035] As Figure 1 , as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the air stream c1 exits from the second air outlet 9 of the air mixing and treatment section module, passes through the third air inlet 18 of the water evaporation refrigeration section module, and then enters the inner side of the aluminum tube 31 of the heat exchanger 30 in the water evaporation refrigeration section module, and exchanges heat with the secondary air d2 cooled by evaporation. After the temperature is reduced, it enters the humidifier 37, making the relatively dry air stream humidified to an appropriate humidity (if wet film (38) humidification is used, the temperature can also be reduced), and becomes the C2 air stream flowing out from the third air outlet (19) of the water evaporation refrigeration section module, and then enters the evaporation section of the mechanical refrigeration section module.
[0036] As Figure 4 shown, after the machine starts, the fourth fan 35 and the circulating water pump 32 start simultaneously. The secondary air (outdoor environment air) d1 is inhaled from the first grille 44, contacts the water sprayed down from the first spray head outside the aluminum tube 31. Due to the dry outdoor environment air, a large amount of water evaporates and absorbs heat, and the sensible heat of the d1 air is converted into latent heat, becoming the lower temperature secondary air d2. The secondary air d2 exchanges heat with the C1 air stream coming from the mixing section through the aluminum tube 31. After the heat exchange, it becomes the secondary air d3 and is discharged to the outside from the discharge port of the fourth fan 35.
[0037] As Figure 4 shown, after the machine starts, the fourth fan 35 and the circulating water pump 32 start simultaneously. The circulating water pump 32 pumps water from the heat preservation water tank 29 and transports it to the sprayer 34 through the first water delivery pipe 33. After the water is sprayed out by the sprayer 34, a part of the secondary dry air d1 contacts and evaporates into water vapor, becoming the lower temperature wet air d2, exchanges heat with the air stream C1 in the aluminum tube 31 and becomes d3, and is discharged to the outside by the fourth fan 35. Another part of the unevaporated water returns to the heat preservation water tank 29 by gravity, and so on in a cycle.
[0038] As Figure 4As shown, when the water in the heat preservation water tank 29 is less than the set value due to evaporation, the first electromagnetic valve 42 opens to replenish water to the heat preservation water tank 29. It closes when the water level reaches the highest level of the water tank to stop water replenishment. After a period of time, when the water tank needs to be cleaned, the waste water is discharged from the first sewage outlet 45.
[0039] As Figure 4 shown, the humidification part (humidifier 37) of the water evaporation and refrigeration section is used in dry winter, which is an optional function and is generally not used in summer.
[0040] As Figure 4 shown, when the humidifier 37 needs to work, (only the humidification process of the wet film 38 is described below, and the processes of other humidification methods will not be elaborated) the second circulating water pump 61 in the humidifier 37 starts. The water is sent to the second sprayer 40 through the second water delivery pipe 39. The water flows downward by gravity. Part of the water is quickly and evenly distributed on the entire wet film 38 due to the water absorption of the wet film 38, and then contacts the dry air flow coming out of the aluminum pipe 31 of the heat exchanger 30. The water evaporates when it meets the dry air, and the dry air flow turns into the qualified wet air C2, which enters the evaporation section of the mechanical refrigeration section from the third air outlet 19. Another part of the water returns to the second heat preservation water tank 60 by gravity and circulates like this.
[0041] As Figure 4 shown, when the water in the second heat preservation water tank 60 is less than the set value due to evaporation, the second electromagnetic valve 43 opens to replenish water into the second heat preservation water tank 60. It closes when the water level reaches the highest level of the second heat preservation water tank 60 to stop water replenishment. After a period of time, when the second heat preservation water tank 60 needs to be cleaned, the waste water is discharged from the second sewage outlet 46.
[0042] As Figure 1 , as shown in Figures 4 and 5, after the air flow C2 comes out of the third air outlet 19 of the water evaporation and refrigeration section module, it passes through the fourth air inlet 21 of the evaporation section of the mechanical refrigeration section module, and then enters the evaporator 49 of the mechanical refrigeration section module. It exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator 49 to become the low-temperature air flow C3, which is sent to the cabinet room of the data center through the air supply pipe 51.
[0043] As Figure 1 , as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the condensed water generated during the heat exchange process in the evaporator 49 is collected in the water collecting tray 47 by its own weight, and then flows into the heat preservation water tank 29 in the water evaporation and refrigeration section through the second diversion pipe 48 due to the water level difference.
[0044] As Figure 5As shown in the figure, when the unit needs the mechanical refrigeration section to work, the compressor 52 and the condensing fan 55 are started simultaneously. The gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 52 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and is sent to the condenser 54 through the second refrigerant connecting pipe 56. Here, it exchanges heat with the external ambient air e1 and becomes a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid. Then, it flows through the partition between the condensing section and the evaporating section and reaches the expansion throttling device 57 in the evaporating section. After passing through the expansion throttling device 57, the refrigerant becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid, and then flows into the evaporator 49 to evaporate and absorb heat, becoming a low-temperature and low-pressure gas, and returns to the compressor 52, thus cycling.
[0045] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, when the unit needs the mechanical refrigeration section module to work, the compressor 52 and the condensing fan 55 are started simultaneously. The external ambient air e1 enters through the second grille 58 of the mechanical refrigeration section module, reaches the condenser 54, and exchanges heat with the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing through the condenser 54. After heat exchange, it becomes high-temperature air and is discharged to the outside by the fifth fan 55.
[0046] Each module can be separately manufactured and then combined, or can be integrally manufactured; the fan can be a volute centrifugal fan or a non-volute centrifugal fan; the chemical filter can be made of impregnated activated carbon particles, or can be composed of honeycomb carbon or ceramic filter materials. The medium-efficiency filter can be a plate filter or a bag filter; the high-efficiency filter can be a plate filter or a bag filter, and the filtration grade is selected according to the needs of the data center; the air intake before the fresh air and return air section is under negative pressure, and the air supply is under positive pressure after air mixing to ensure that the treated air is not affected by the outside; the condensed water generated in the evaporating section is sent to the indirect evaporation water tank by gravity through the pipeline, reducing the temperature of the water in the tank, achieving energy conservation and reducing water discharge; the condensing section can be integrally connected to the unit according to needs or can be separately connected to achieve free connection.
