Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of composite material tank bodies, and in particular relates to a high thermal conductivity composite material tank body and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the era of marine economy, steel storage tanks play an important role in marine infrastructure projects. All-steel storage tanks are highly favored by the oil and gas storage tank industry due to their high strength, good weldability and easy connection. They have made great contributions to the development of the world's storage tank industry in the past century. However, all-steel storage tanks have the following problems: (1) Poor corrosion resistance, requiring auxiliary anti-corrosion layer protection and cathodic protection and other technical measures; (2) Severe attachment of marine organisms; (3) Large-diameter steel storage tanks, thick pipe walls, difficult plate making and pipe rolling, and high quality defect rate; (4) The storage tank is heavy, the heavy equipment usage fee is high, the construction site is large, and the land compensation cost is high; (5) The long-term safe operation of the tank is difficult and the maintenance cost is high.

[0003] As a "new marine infrastructure" project, the data center can not only achieve the purpose of continuous and stable heat dissipation of the heat generated by the server by means of the velocity and volume of seawater, but also promote the green, energy-saving, low-carbon and sustainable development of the data center. As the protective structure of the server, the data center room needs to have excellent specific strength, thermal stability, corrosion resistance and good heat transfer. If the room is made of traditional steel materials, it will face problems such as poor corrosion resistance, short service life and high maintenance costs in the marine environment. Compared with steel materials, fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials have the unique advantages of high specific strength, high specific stiffness, strong designability, good fatigue fracture resistance, good corrosion resistance, no marine biological attachment, and stable structural dimensions. It has been gradually promoted and applied in many marine projects. The one-time investment and installation costs of FRP materials, as well as the ratio of service life to investment, are relatively cheap compared with steel.

[0004] The resin-based composite tank can meet the various functional requirements of the server room, but it has a certain degree of deficiency in heat dissipation. The thermal conductivity of FRP is low, only 0.3-0.4W / (mK), which is only 1 / 100-1 / 1000 of metal. Overcoming the heat dissipation problem can not only achieve spontaneous heat dissipation of the server in the marine environment, but also provide reference and expansion ideas for the subsequent design of improving the thermal conductivity of FRP materials. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a high thermal conductivity FRP underwater equipment protection structure and its manufacturing method to solve the problem of poor heat dissipation of FRP materials. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide a high thermal conductivity composite material tank body and a preparation method thereof. By arranging a heat pipe with an extremely high thermal conductivity coefficient in the tank wall of the tank body, the composite material tank body has better heat dissipation performance, and can provide a safe, closed, long-lasting and adaptable protection structure for data servers in complex marine environments.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the present invention provides a high thermal conductivity composite tank body, including a tank body; the tank wall of the tank body is made of a fiber-reinforced resin-based composite material; a plurality of heat pipes are buried in the tank wall, one end of the heat pipe is close to the inner side of the tank body, and the other end is close to the outer side of the tank body.

[0007] Among them, the heat pipe is a heat transfer element that relies on the phase change of the working liquid inside itself to achieve heat transfer, and belongs to the prior art. It is usually composed of a closed tube shell, a liquid wick arranged on the inner wall of the tube shell, and a working liquid arranged in the inner cavity of the tube shell. When one end of the heat pipe is heated, the liquid in the liquid wick evaporates rapidly, and the steam flows to the other end under a small pressure difference, releases heat, and re-condenses into liquid. The liquid then flows back to the evaporation section along the liquid wick by the action of capillary force. In this circular arrangement, heat is transferred from one end of the heat pipe to the other end. This cycle is carried out quickly, and heat can be conducted continuously, so it has a good thermal conductivity.

[0008] Existing resin-based composite products have low thermal conductivity and face the problem of extremely poor heat dissipation under certain working conditions. The high thermal conductivity composite tank of the present invention effectively solves this problem by arranging heat pipe materials with extremely high thermal conductivity in the tank wall of the tank, so that the heat generated by the server inside the tank can be transferred to the marine environment through the heat pipe, thereby realizing efficient heat exchange.

[0015] For the marine data center room, as a protective structure for the server, it not only needs to have good heat transfer performance, but also needs to have good strength, thermal stability and other properties. For the high thermal conductivity composite tank of the present invention, the arrangement density of the heat pipe, the distance between the two ends of the heat pipe and the surface of the tank wall, the location of the heat pipe, the diameter and length of the heat pipe, etc., will not only affect the thermal conductivity of the composite tank, but also change the strength and thermal stability of the tank.
