DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Many specific details are described in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of this specification. However, this specification can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of this specification, so this specification is not limited to the specific implementation disclosed below.

The singular forms of "a", "said" and "the" used in one or more embodiments of this specification and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used in one or more embodiments of this specification refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0022] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc. may be used to describe various information in one or more embodiments of this specification, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of one or more embodiments of this specification, the first may also be referred to as the second, and similarly, the second may also be referred to as the first. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0023] First, the terms involved in one or more embodiments of this specification are explained.

[0024] PUE: (Power Usage Effectiveness) is an indicator for evaluating the energy efficiency of a data center. It is the ratio of all energy consumed by the data center to the energy consumed by the IT load. PUE = total energy consumption of the data center / energy consumption of IT equipment, where the total energy consumption of the data center includes the energy consumption of IT equipment and the energy consumption of systems such as cooling and power distribution. Its value is greater than 1. The closer it is to 1, the less energy is consumed by non-IT equipment, that is, the better the energy efficiency level.

[0025] In this specification, a heat treatment system based on a data center is provided. One or more embodiments of this specification simultaneously relate to a heat treatment system and a heat treatment method, which are described in detail one by one in the following embodiments.

[0026] Reducing the PUE of a data center not only means reducing energy consumption, but also has the significance of reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment. After a long period of development, infrastructure data centers have made great progress in capacity, PUE, security, etc. This has made the scale of data centers larger and larger. With this comes the problem of energy consumption. In the existing technology, the heat dissipation method of data centers is still mainly air cooling, which is reflected in the design and construction of a wide range of equipment and computer rooms such as servers, switches, and racks. Some data centers also use liquid cooling, although the heat dissipation effect of liquid cooling is much higher than that of air cooling. However, if a data center that has developed to a certain scale is changed from air cooling to liquid cooling, it will not only consume a lot of modification costs, but also take a long time. Therefore, a breakthrough in heat dissipation for air cooling is particularly important.

[0027] In the prior art, in order to reduce the PUE of air-cooled data centers, data centers around the world have adopted a variety of optimization solutions, such as using seawater or natural cold air to cool the hot air output from the hot channel of the data center. The low-temperature air entering the server and other equipment from the cold channel is heated and heated accordingly after flowing through the equipment in the computer room. After flowing out, the high-temperature air enters the hot channel and is output from the hot channel to the cooling or discharge link. Therefore, building a data center in a cold area can directly obtain natural wind with a lower temperature. After simple treatment (such as dehumidification, dust removal, etc.), it can be used as cold channel inlet air and flow through the data center equipment; during this period, heat exchange is generated to take away heat. The data center can also be built near the water or underwater, using local materials, using cheap water to cool the air coming out of the hot channel, and transmitting the cooled air back to the cold channel to form a cycle. Water with high specific heat capacity is used as a cheap coolant.

[0028] However, air, as a medium, exchanges heat with data center equipment because of its specific heat capacity of 1005 J / (kg*K), compared to the specific heat capacity of water of 4200 J / (kg*K). It can be seen that air is not an excellent heat dissipation medium. Therefore, the heat conduction effect of the airflow circulation formed by the blower and the like does not meet expectations. At the same time, a large amount of heat is generated during the operation of data center equipment. After this heat is taken away by the air, it is discharged as waste heat, and this part of energy cannot be utilized. In addition, the replenishment of fresh air requires filtering and other treatments, which increases additional energy consumption and consumables. Therefore, an effective solution is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

[0029] In view of this, the thermal energy processing system based on the data center provided in this specification includes a thermal energy conversion circuit, and the thermal energy conversion circuit is composed of a hydrogen pressurized warehouse, a data center, a thermal energy conversion device, a sealed layer, and an insulating layer, wherein a vacuum area is formed between the sealed layer and the insulating layer. By using pressurized hydrogen as a cooling medium and utilizing the high specific heat capacity of hydrogen to improve the refrigeration effect of the data center, and by forming a vacuum area through the sealed layer and the insulating layer, the heat dissipation speed can be effectively avoided, so that the thermal energy conversion device can fully complete the thermal energy exchange, so as to realize the secondary utilization of thermal energy and avoid waste of resources.

[0030] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a thermal energy processing system based on a data center provided in one embodiment of the present specification. The thermal energy processing system based on the data center includes a thermal energy conversion circuit, and the thermal energy conversion circuit includes: a hydrogen pressurized warehouse 10, a data center 20, a thermal energy conversion device 30, a sealed layer 40, and an insulating layer 50, wherein a vacuum area 45 is formed between the sealed layer 40 and the insulating layer 50.

[0031] Specifically, the heat conversion loop refers to the ability to circulate gas, so that the heat generated by the data center can be taken away by using the gas as a cooling medium, and the heat can be converted into other energy for use, so as to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation and energy utilization. Among them, the gas used in the heat conversion loop can be pressurized hydrogen, that is, low-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen, and it should be noted that the density of the pressurized hydrogen needs to be controlled to be the same as the density of the air, so as to achieve air-cooled cooling without too much modification of the existing data center. Under the condition of the same density, under the physical heat dissipation advantage of hydrogen's specific heat capacity of about 14000J / (kg*K) (the specific heat capacity of air is about 1005 / (kg*K)), the same volume of gas can take away nearly 14 times the heat. Therefore, compared with air cooling, the effect is better and more environmentally friendly.

[0032] Furthermore, the hydrogen pressurization chamber 10 specifically refers to a device for compressing hydrogen, which is used to compress hydrogen under normal conditions into pressurized hydrogen with the same density as air; accordingly, the data center 20 can be a device that can generate thermal energy through the operation of the equipment, including but not limited to computer rooms, servers, IT equipment, etc.; accordingly, the thermal energy conversion device 30 specifically refers to a device that converts the thermal energy absorbed by hydrogen into other energy, such as converting thermal energy into mechanical energy, or electrical energy, etc., to achieve secondary utilization of thermal energy, that is, the converted mechanical energy or electrical energy will also be used for heat dissipation in the data center. For example, mechanical energy can be used to lift the height of an object through a piston, turbine, etc., and converted into gravitational potential energy storage; for example, electrical energy can be used to power lighting equipment in the data center, etc., and the hydrogen after the thermal energy is released will enter the hydrogen pressurization chamber 10 again to achieve the purpose of reciprocating utilization.

[0033] Accordingly, the sealed layer 40 specifically refers to a protective layer that encapsulates the data center 20, so that the data center 20 can form a closed space through the sealed layer 40 to prevent gas leakage. Correspondingly, the insulating layer 50 specifically refers to a protective layer arranged outside the sealed layer, which is used to prevent heat energy from dissipating, so that the pressurized hydrogen can fully absorb heat energy and then circulate, thereby improving the utilization rate of heat energy. Among them, a vacuum area 45 is formed between the sealed layer 40 and the insulating layer 50, so that there will be no other gases except hydrogen in the pressurized hydrogen circulation area, so that hydrogen leakage can be strictly prevented, while also reducing undesired heat exchange and ensuring safety.

[0034] Based on this, in the thermal energy processing system based on the data center, the hydrogen pressurization chamber 10 is connected to the gas inlet of the data center 20, the thermal energy conversion inlet of the thermal energy conversion device 30 is connected to the gas outlet of the data center 20, and the thermal energy conversion outlet of the thermal energy conversion device 30 is connected to the hydrogen pressurization chamber 10; wherein, the insulating layer 50 is located outside the sealed layer 40, the hydrogen pressurization chamber 10, the data center 20, and the thermal energy conversion device 30 are all located in the sealed layer 40, and a vacuum area 45 is formed between the sealed layer 40 and the insulating layer 50, so that the thermal energy generated by the data center 20 is converted inside the sealed layer 40 to avoid gas leakage, while also ensuring that the thermal energy has a higher conversion rate.

[0035] In addition, on the basis of forming a vacuum area 45 between the sealed layer 40 and the insulating layer 50, in order to prevent hydrogen leakage, dense collection devices can also be set for inspection to prevent hydrogen from leaking to the outside of the insulating layer. In addition, a gas extraction device can be set between the insulating layer and the sealed layer to continuously extract the air between the two layers to ensure the vacuum. At the same time, in the event of hydrogen leakage, the hydrogen can be pumped back into the hydrogen pressurized warehouse 10 through the gas extraction device to reduce the undesired heat exchange. On this basis, a coating can also be applied to the sealed layer 40 to reduce the heat dissipation intensity caused by thermal radiation, such as coating the inside of the sealed layer 40 with silver to prevent convection and conduction in heat exchange.

[0036] It should be noted that the data center-based thermal energy processing system provided in this embodiment can be applied to air-cooled data centers that already have a certain scale. Since hydrogen is compressed to form pressurized hydrogen with the same density as air, there is no need to carry out large-scale transformation of the data center that already has an air-cooled structure to achieve the absorption and conversion of thermal energy. At the same time, the specific heat capacity of compressed hydrogen is 14 times that of air, so it can take away 14 times the heat compared to air, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. That is, there is no need to transform the existing facilities of the data center, such as fans, heat sinks, mechanical structures, racks, etc., and the same flow rate can be achieved under the same configuration. At the same time, the compression of hydrogen can be beneficial to the pressure balance between the air layer and the insulation layer between the compressed hydrogen, offsetting the internal and external forces, and avoiding damage caused by long-term continuous pressure.

[0037] Taking the data center as an example of a computer room where servers are placed, heat is generated during the operation of the computer room. At this time, the hydrogen pressurization chamber will pressurize the hydrogen to form pressurized hydrogen with the same density as air, and enter the computer room through the gas inlet of the computer room. The heat generated in the computer room arranged in the sealed layer and the insulating layer will be absorbed by the pressurized hydrogen, and the pressurized hydrogen that absorbs the heat will be discharged through the gas inlet of the computer room and input into the heat energy conversion equipment. The heat energy absorbed by the pressurized hydrogen is converted into other energy through the heat energy conversion equipment, and the hydrogen after the heat energy is released is discharged. After that, the hydrogen after the heat release will be re-input into the hydrogen pressurization chamber and pressurized again to achieve reciprocating utilization, while also avoiding hydrogen leakage.

[0038] In summary, by using a thermal energy processing system based on a data center, pressurized hydrogen can be used as a cooling medium, and the high specific heat capacity of hydrogen can be used to improve the cooling effect of the data center. At the same time, a vacuum area is formed by a sealed layer and an insulating layer to effectively avoid the heat dissipation rate, so that the thermal energy conversion equipment can fully complete the thermal energy exchange to achieve the secondary utilization of thermal energy and avoid waste of resources.

[0039] Corresponding to the above embodiment, this specification also provides a thermal energy treatment system, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a thermal energy treatment system provided in one embodiment of the present specification, wherein the thermal energy treatment system includes a thermal energy conversion circuit, wherein the thermal energy conversion circuit includes: a gas pressurization chamber 11, a thermal energy generating device 21, a thermal energy conversion device 30, a sealed layer 40, and an insulating layer 50, wherein a vacuum area 45 is formed between the sealed layer 40 and the insulating layer 50.

[0040] This embodiment corresponds to the above embodiment, and the same or corresponding description contents can refer to the above embodiment, and this embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Specifically, the gas pressurization chamber specifically refers to a device for compressing gas, which is used to compress normal gas into pressurized gas with the same density as air, and the pressurized gas needs to satisfy a specific heat capacity greater than that of air, such as hydrogen; accordingly, the heat energy generating device 21 can be a device that can generate heat energy through the operation of the device, including but not limited to computer rooms, servers, IT equipment, etc.; accordingly, the heat energy conversion device 30 specifically refers to a device that converts the heat energy absorbed by hydrogen into other energy, such as converting heat energy into mechanical energy, or electrical energy, etc., to achieve secondary utilization of heat energy, that is, the converted mechanical energy or electrical energy will also be used for heat dissipation in data centers. For example, mechanical energy can be used to lift the height of an object through pistons, turbines, etc., and the work is converted into gravitational potential energy storage; for example, electrical energy can be used to power lighting equipment in a data center, etc., and the gas after the heat energy is released will enter the gas pressurization chamber 11 again to achieve the purpose of reciprocating utilization.

[0042] Correspondingly, the sealing layer 40 specifically refers to a protective layer that encapsulates the heat generating device 21, so that the heat generating device 21 can form a closed space through the sealing layer 40 to prevent gas leakage. Correspondingly, the insulating layer 50 specifically refers to a protective layer arranged outside the sealing layer, which is used to prevent heat energy from dissipating, so that the pressurized hydrogen can fully absorb heat energy and then circulate, thereby improving the utilization rate of heat energy. Among them, a vacuum area 45 is formed between the sealing layer 40 and the insulating layer 50, so that there will be no other gases except hydrogen in the pressurized hydrogen circulation area, so that hydrogen leakage can be strictly prevented, while also reducing undesired heat exchange and ensuring safety.

[0043] Based on this, in the thermal energy processing system, the gas pressurization chamber 11 is connected to the gas inlet of the thermal energy generating device 21, the thermal energy conversion inlet of the thermal energy conversion device 30 is connected to the gas outlet of the thermal energy generating device 21, and the thermal energy conversion outlet of the thermal energy conversion device 30 is connected to the gas pressurization chamber 11; wherein, the sealed layer 40 is located in the insulating layer 50, the gas pressurization chamber 11, the thermal energy generating device 21 and the thermal energy conversion device 30 are located in the sealed layer 40, so that the thermal energy generated by the thermal energy generating device 21 is converted inside the sealed layer 40, avoiding gas leakage, and at the same time ensuring that the thermal energy has a higher conversion rate.

[0044] In summary, the pressurized gas can be used as a cooling medium through the thermal energy treatment system, and the high specific heat capacity of the gas can be used to improve the refrigeration effect of the thermal energy generating equipment. At the same time, a vacuum area is formed by the sealed layer and the insulating layer, which can effectively avoid the heat dissipation rate of the thermal energy, so that the thermal energy conversion equipment can fully complete the thermal energy exchange to realize the secondary utilization of thermal energy and avoid waste of resources.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to enable effective circulation of gas in the thermal energy generating device 21, so that after absorbing the heat generated by the thermal energy generating device 21, the heat can be output from the thermal energy generating device 21, and then subsequent energy release and conversion can be carried out, the thermal energy generating device can be provided with a pipeline for circulating pressurized gas. In this embodiment, the thermal energy generating device 21 includes an equipment cooling pipeline, an equipment cooling device and a thermal energy release pipeline.

[0046] Specifically, the equipment cooling pipeline specifically refers to the pipeline for circulating pressurized gas, and the equipment cooling pipeline is mainly distributed in the concentrated location where heat is generated by the thermal energy generating equipment 21, so as to realize that heat can be taken away by circulating gas; accordingly, the equipment cooling device specifically refers to a device that can promote gas circulation, including but not limited to fans, blowers, etc.; accordingly, the heat energy release pipeline specifically refers to the pipeline for circulating gas that absorbs heat energy, and is used to discharge the gas that absorbs heat energy from the thermal energy generating equipment 21 to enter the thermal energy conversion equipment 30.

[0047] Based on this, the equipment cooling pipeline is connected to the gas pressurization chamber 11, and the equipment cooling device is located at a fixed position of the equipment cooling pipeline, which can blow the pressurized gas entering the equipment cooling pipeline to the location where heat energy is generated to promote gas circulation. The equipment cooling pipeline is connected to the heat energy release pipeline. After the pressurized gas absorbs heat energy, it will enter the heat energy release pipeline to enter the heat energy conversion device 30 later for subsequent heat energy conversion and circulating gas. It should be noted that after absorbing heat energy, the pressurized gas will become high-pressure and high-temperature gas.

[0048] For example, heat is generated during the operation of the computer room. At this time, the hydrogen pressurization chamber will pressurize the hydrogen to form pressurized hydrogen with the same density as air, and enter the equipment cooling pipeline inside the computer room through the gas inlet of the computer room. The heat generated in the computer room arranged in the closed layer and the insulation layer will be absorbed by the pressurized hydrogen in the equipment cooling pipeline, and the pressurized hydrogen that absorbs the heat will be sent to the heat energy release pipeline along the wind direction of the fan, and then discharged from the gas outlet of the computer room connected to the heat energy release pipeline, and input into the heat energy conversion equipment. The heat energy absorbed by the pressurized hydrogen is converted into other energy through the heat energy conversion equipment, and the hydrogen after the heat energy is released is discharged. After that, the hydrogen after the heat release will be re-input into the hydrogen pressurization chamber and pressurized again to achieve reciprocating utilization, while also avoiding hydrogen leakage.

[0049] In summary, by setting up equipment cooling pipelines and heat energy release pipelines in the thermal energy generating equipment, it is possible to plan other flow directions. At the same time, by using the equipment cooling device to guide the circulation of pressurized gas, the heat energy generated in the thermal energy generating equipment can be fully absorbed. This can achieve the purpose of cooling while ensuring more sufficient heat energy conversion.

[0050] Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of heat energy conversion, the turbine linkage device 31 can be used to convert heat energy into mechanical energy, so as to complete energy conversion by using mechanical energy to do work and avoid consumption caused by energy loss. Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a turbine linkage device provided in an embodiment of the specification is shown; in the heat energy treatment system provided in this embodiment, the heat energy conversion device 30 includes a turbine linkage device 31, and the turbine linkage device 31 includes a driving wheel 311 and a driven wheel 312, and the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 and the turbine blades of the driven wheel 312 are connected by a linkage shaft 313.

[0051] Specifically, the turbine linkage device 31 specifically refers to a device that can convert the heat energy absorbed by the pressurized gas into mechanical energy. The pressurized gas that absorbs the heat energy drives the turbine linkage device 31 to move, thereby generating mechanical energy, and the mechanical energy is applied to the gas pressurization process, which can realize the secondary utilization of heat energy to achieve the purpose of saving energy consumption. Correspondingly, the driving wheel 311 specifically refers to a turbine device driven by the pressurized gas that absorbs the heat energy, which is used to drive the driven wheel 312 to move, and realize the release of the pressurized gas that absorbs the heat energy and convert it into mechanical energy; correspondingly, the driven wheel 312 is a turbine device driven by the driving wheel 311, which is used to pressurize the low-temperature and low-pressure gas. Correspondingly, the linkage shaft is the shaft body connected between the driving wheel 311 and the driven wheel 312, which is used to realize that after the driving wheel 311 moves, it can drive the driven wheel 312 to move.

[0052] Based on this, the turbine linkage device 31 includes a driving wheel 311, which is connected to the gas outlet of the thermal energy generating device 21 through the driving wheel gas inlet, the driving wheel gas outlet of the driving wheel 311 is connected to the driven wheel gas inlet of the driven wheel 312, and the driven wheel gas outlet of the driven wheel 312 is connected to the gas pressurization chamber 11; it is used to realize that after the gas releases energy, it can enter the pressurization chamber again for pressurization treatment, forming an air-cooled circulation system.

[0053] That is to say, based on the above-mentioned connection relationship, after the pressurized gas absorbs heat energy in the heat energy generating device 21, the pressurized gas that absorbs heat energy will enter the turbine linkage device 31 and enter the driving wheel 311 through the gas inlet of the driving wheel. Thereafter, the pressurized gas that absorbs heat energy will drive the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 to rotate. As the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 rotate, the linkage shaft 313 will be driven to move, and the linkage shaft 313 is connected to the driven wheel 312. Therefore, after the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 rotate, the linkage shaft 313 will drive the turbine blades of the driven wheel 312 to rotate. At this time, the driven wheel 312 will pressurize the gas that has done work and input it into the gas pressurization chamber 11 after the pressurization is completed. If the pressurized gas has not yet reached the same density as the air, it can be pressurized for the second time through the gas pressurization chamber 11 to save the energy consumed when the gas pressurization chamber 11 compresses the gas and achieves the purpose of using heat energy to assist pressurization.

[0054] Among them, the pressurized gas of the driven wheel 312 is the gas discharged from the driving wheel 311 after the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 are driven to rotate. Its thermal energy has been released by pushing the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311, forming a low-temperature and low-pressure gas that enters the driven wheel 312 for pressurization treatment.

[0055] Continuing with the above example, when the high-pressure and high-temperature hydrogen that absorbs heat energy enters the heat energy conversion device, it will be input into the turbine linkage device in the heat energy conversion device. The high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen that absorbs heat energy will drive the turbine blades of the active turbine to rotate, and through the linkage shaft, it will drive the turbine blades of the driven turbine to rotate and do work, so as to pressurize the low-temperature and low-pressure hydrogen in the driven turbine, so as to obtain low-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen that is input into the hydrogen pressurization chamber of the machine room for air cooling circulation. In this process, the low-temperature and low-pressure hydrogen in the driven turbine is the hydrogen discharged after the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen in the active turbine does work, so as to release heat energy by doing work, that is, after the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen input into the active turbine does work, its temperature and pressure will be reduced, and then it will be sent to the driven turbine through the outlet for pressurization.

[0056] In summary, by adopting a turbine linkage device, not only can the conversion of thermal energy be achieved through a simple structure, but the conversion efficiency can also be improved. At the same time, the thermal energy is used to directly pressurize the gas in the driven wheel, which can avoid the efficiency overhead when the thermal energy is converted into other energy. The thermal energy generated by the thermal energy generating equipment can be used in its own thermal energy release process to achieve the purpose of saving energy.

[0057] On this basis, considering that the gas output from the driving wheel 311 has done work, but may not have completely released its heat energy, the gas that has released some of its heat energy will form a medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas, still carrying some heat energy, and with a density lower than that of air. If this part of the gas is directly input into the driven wheel 312 for pressurization, and then enters the heat energy generating device for heat dissipation, the heat dissipation effect will be greatly reduced, and as time goes by, the temperature in the closed layer will become higher and higher. Therefore, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect, a thermoelectric conversion device 32 can also be set in the heat energy conversion device 30 to perform secondary conversion using the gas that still carries some heat energy, so as to fully release the heat energy in the gas and achieve that the gas input into the gas pressurization chamber again is a low-temperature and low-pressure gas. See Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a thermoelectric conversion device provided in one embodiment of the present specification is shown; in the thermal energy treatment system provided in this embodiment, the thermal energy conversion equipment 30 also includes a thermoelectric conversion device 32, and the thermoelectric conversion device 32 includes at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321, a thermoelectric conversion component 322, a control valve 323, and a gas circulation pipe 324.

[0058] Specifically, the thermoelectric conversion device 32 specifically refers to a device capable of converting thermal energy into electrical energy, that is, a device that converts part of the thermal energy output from the driving wheel and carried by the gas into electrical energy, and is used to realize the conversion of part of the thermal energy carried by the gas into electrical energy, and while releasing the thermal energy, the electrical energy can also be used for power supply. Correspondingly, at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321 specifically refers to a pipe for circulating the gas that absorbs thermal energy, and a thermoelectric conversion component 322 is arranged outside the comb-shaped pipe, and the thermoelectric conversion component 322 can realize the conversion of the thermal energy absorbed by the gas into electrical energy; it should be noted that in the case where the thermoelectric conversion device 32 has multiple layers of comb-shaped pipes 321, the multiple layers of comb-shaped pipes 321 will be arranged in parallel, and is used to realize the simultaneous diversion of the gas that absorbs thermal energy to each comb-shaped pipe 321, and realize the simultaneous processing of thermal energy conversion into electrical energy through the multiple layers of comb-shaped pipes 321, thereby improving the efficiency of thermal energy conversion into electrical energy, and at the same time, it can also improve the heat dissipation effect. Correspondingly, the control valve 323 specifically refers to the valves arranged at the air inlet and outlet of the thermoelectric conversion device 32. Together with the gas circulation pipeline 324, a short-term gas circulation system can be formed in the thermoelectric conversion device 32, which is used to realize that the heat energy in the gas can be circulated and converted into electrical energy until the heat energy is completely released and then the valve is opened to output the thermoelectric conversion device 32.

[0059] Based on this, the driving wheel gas outlet of the driving wheel 311 is connected to the exhaust gas inlet of the thermoelectric conversion device 32, the exhaust gas inlet is connected to at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321, at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321 is connected to the cold air outlet of the thermoelectric conversion device 32, the cold air outlet is connected to the driven wheel gas inlet of the driven wheel 312, and the driven wheel gas outlet of the driven wheel 312 is connected to the gas pressurization chamber 11; and, the thermoelectric conversion component 322 is arranged on the outside of at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321; the exhaust gas inlet and the cold air outlet are connected by a gas circulation pipe 324, and the exhaust gas inlet and the cold air outlet are both provided with control valves 323, which are used to realize the formation of a small gas circulation system in the thermoelectric conversion device 32 to improve the efficiency and sufficiency of converting thermal energy into electrical energy.

[0060] On the basis of the above connection relationship, when the gas after working through the driving wheel 311 has not released all the heat energy, it will form medium-temperature medium-pressure gas. In order to improve the heat dissipation effect and avoid resource waste, the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas can be input into the thermoelectric conversion device 32, and a gas circulation system is formed in the thermoelectric conversion device 32. After the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas enters the thermoelectric conversion device 32, it will enter the comb-shaped pipe 321. After the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas flows through the comb-shaped pipe 321, the thermoelectric conversion assembly 322 arranged on the outside of each comb-shaped pipe 321 will absorb the residual heat energy in the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas and convert it into electrical energy. Thereafter, if the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas that has absorbed heat energy still carries heat energy, the control valve can be left open, and the gas will flow back to the comb-shaped pipe 321 through the gas circulation pipe 324. After multiple reciprocations, until the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas releases all the heat energy, when its temperature meets the refrigeration conditions, the control valve 323 will be opened to input the low-temperature and low-pressure gas into the driven wheel 312 for pressurization.

[0061] That is to say, the gas output by the driving wheel will also carry some heat energy, so inputting it into the thermoelectric conversion device can achieve the purpose of fully absorbing heat energy and dissipating heat at the same time. After the gas temperature is circulated and reduced to the expected temperature by the thermoelectric conversion device, it is used again as a heat dissipation medium for the heat energy generating equipment to achieve gas recycling and save energy consumption. Among them, the thermoelectric conversion device can be prevented from being in an air environment, that is, it can be arranged outside the insulation layer to achieve a temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the gas temperature to support thermoelectric conversion. However, it should be noted that the environment does not need to be too low in temperature, and it is only necessary to keep the temperature difference between the gas temperature and the ambient temperature between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius. From a cost perspective, the thermoelectric conversion device can be directly arranged in the external natural environment, so that the requirements for site selection will not be too harsh, and the thermoelectric conversion device can be arranged and maintained more conveniently.

[0062] like Figure 4As shown, in order to improve the conversion rate of heat energy to electrical energy, each pipeline of the thermoelectric conversion device can be made of strictly closed and heat-dissipating materials, such as copper, aluminum and other materials. After the medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas is diverted to the multi-layer comb-shaped pipeline, the thermoelectric conversion components are densely arranged on the outside of the pipeline, and an electric potential will be generated through the thermoelectric conversion components; at the same time, control valves are provided at the inlet and outlet of the thermoelectric conversion device, and the inlet and outlet are connected by a gas circulation pipeline, and a circular feedback design is adopted to fully convert heat energy into electrical energy. After a batch of medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas enters the thermoelectric conversion area, it repeatedly flows through the comb-shaped pipeline, and the heat energy circulates to generate electricity. After the temperature is continuously reduced until the conditions are met, the valve can be opened to input the low-temperature gas into the pressurized chamber or the driven wheel for pressurization. Among them, the valve can be controlled to open and close according to the temperature of the gas.

[0063] In summary, by using a thermoelectric conversion device to convert thermal energy into electrical energy, the conversion of thermal energy can be further improved, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation. At the same time, the electrical energy can be stored or used to avoid waste caused by excessive energy consumption.

[0064] After the thermoelectric conversion component absorbs heat energy and converts it into electrical energy, it can be combined with an inverter and electrical equipment to use or store the electrical energy. Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a thermoelectric conversion component provided in an embodiment of the present specification is shown. In this embodiment, the thermoelectric conversion component 322 includes an inverter 325 and an electrical device 326 .

[0065] Specifically, the inverter 325 specifically refers to a converter used to convert DC power into constant frequency and constant voltage or frequency and voltage regulated AC power. Correspondingly, the electrical equipment specifically refers to equipment that can use electrical energy, including but not limited to batteries, lighting equipment, electric fans, etc., and it should be noted that the electrical equipment are all heat energy generating equipment, that is, batteries, lighting equipment, electric fans, etc. installed in the heat energy generating equipment.

[0066] Based on this, since the electric energy is generated by the thermoelectric conversion components arranged on the outer layer of the comb-shaped pipes, and the multiple layers of comb-shaped pipes are arranged in parallel, in order to improve the utilization rate of electric energy, the electric energy generated by the thermoelectric conversion components outside each layer of the comb-shaped pipes can be connected in series, and then input into the inverter to form alternating current, and finally the electrical equipment can be powered by the alternating current.

[0067] That is to say, the electric energy generated by the thermoelectric conversion components arranged outside each comb-shaped pipe will be superimposed in series, and then the total potential will be input into the inverter, and the DC voltage will be converted into AC voltage through the inverter, and it will be used as the power supply for UPE (Uninterruptible Power Supply), batteries, photo equipment or electric fans and other equipment. The inverter can convert DC into AC to adapt to electrical equipment on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also achieve voltage stabilization and shaping, improve the quality of power, and thus provide more stable power supply to electrical equipment.

[0068] In summary, by using a thermoelectric conversion component to convert the remaining heat energy in the pressurized gas into electrical energy, and then converting it into alternating current through an inverter for use by electrical equipment, the electrical energy consumed by the heat generating equipment can be effectively saved, and resource recycling can be achieved, thereby forming a cooling system with lower energy consumption.

[0069] In addition, considering the large gas flowability, although a closed space is formed by the sealed layer, there is still a possibility of hydrogen leakage in the scenario of a large-scale thermal energy generation device. Therefore, in order to ensure safety and avoid gas leakage, a gas extraction device can be configured in the vacuum area to continuously extract the gas in the vacuum area and feed the leaked gas back to the gas pressurization bin after extraction. In this embodiment, in the thermal energy treatment system, the vacuum area 45 has a built-in gas extraction device, and the gas extraction device is connected to the gas pressurization bin 11.

[0070] Specifically, the gas extraction equipment specifically refers to equipment used to extract the gas in the vacuum area 45. On the one hand, the gas used as a cooling medium can be returned to the gas pressurization chamber, and on the other hand, the non-cooling medium gas can be output to the outside of the isolation layer to ensure that the gas in the sealed layer is purer.

[0071] That is to say, after the low-temperature gas that releases heat energy enters the pressurized chamber, vacuum extraction will also feed back a very small amount of gas to the pressurized chamber. After pressurization, the compressed gas reaches the same density as the air, and then enters the heat energy generating equipment again, heat exchange is carried out again, and the heat energy generated by the electricity in the equipment is taken away.

[0072] In practical applications, when the heat treatment system includes a turbine linkage device and a thermoelectric conversion device, the connection relationship is as follows: the gas pressurization chamber 11 is connected to the gas inlet of the heat energy generating device 21, the gas inlet is connected to the device cooling pipeline, the device cooling pipeline is connected to the heat energy release pipeline, the heat energy release pipeline is connected to the gas outlet of the heat energy generating device 21, the driving wheel gas inlet of the driving wheel 311 is connected to the gas outlet, the driving wheel gas outlet of the driving wheel 311 is connected to the exhaust gas inlet of the thermoelectric conversion device 32, the exhaust gas inlet is connected to the at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321, the at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321 is connected to the cold air outlet of the thermoelectric conversion device 32, the cold air outlet is connected to the driven wheel gas inlet of the driven wheel 312, and the driven wheel gas outlet of the driven wheel 312 is connected to the gas pressurization chamber 11;

[0073] Among them, the sealed layer 40 is located in the insulating layer 50, the gas pressurization chamber 11, the heat energy generating equipment 21 and the turbine linkage device 31 are located in the sealed layer 40, the thermoelectric conversion device 32 is located outside the insulating layer 50, or the thermoelectric conversion device 32 is located in the sealed layer 40; the thermoelectric conversion component 322 is arranged on the outside of the at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321; the exhaust gas inlet and the cold air outlet are connected by the gas circulation pipe 324, and the exhaust gas inlet and the cold air outlet are both provided with the control valve 323.

[0074] In the process of processing the heat energy generated by the heat energy generating equipment, the gas pressurization chamber inputs the low-temperature and high-pressure gas into the heat energy generating equipment through the gas inlet of the heat energy generating equipment, and the low-temperature and high-pressure gas flows through the cooling pipeline of the equipment to absorb the heat energy generated by the heat energy generating equipment, and after absorbing the heat energy, forms high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then flows through the heat energy release pipeline, and is discharged through the gas outlet of the heat energy generating equipment. The discharged high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the driving wheel from the gas inlet of the driving wheel, drives the driving wheel to move, and then drives the linkage shaft to move, prompting the driven wheel to move, so as to pressurize the low-temperature and low-pressure gas in the driven wheel.

[0075] Furthermore, considering that the high-temperature and high-pressure gas after work also carries some heat energy, it forms medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas after work. At this time, it can be input into the thermoelectric conversion device, enter through the waste inlet, and flow through at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes. Since the comb-shaped pipes are provided with hot spot conversion components outside, the residual heat energy of the medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas will be converted into electrical energy, and converted into alternating current through the inverter for use by electrical equipment. In this process, the medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas will flow back and forth through the comb-shaped pipes through the gas circulation pipe in the thermoelectric conversion device until the temperature of the medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas reaches the low-temperature condition, and the control valve will be opened to input the low-temperature and low-pressure gas into the driven wheel for pressurization. If the pressurized gas has not reached the air density, the driven wheel will input the low-temperature and medium-pressure gas into the gas pressurization chamber, which will pressurize it again to generate low-temperature and high-pressure gas for the next air-cooled heat dissipation treatment.

[0076] During this process, in order to avoid environmental pollution caused by heat dissipation, a sealed layer can be set inside the insulating layer. Then, the gas pressurization chamber, heat generating equipment and turbine linkage device are all located in the sealed layer, and the thermoelectric conversion device can be set outside the insulating layer, or inside the sealed layer to form a vacuum area to realize gas circulation. While achieving the purpose of heat dissipation, it can avoid the ineffective removal of heat energy, realize the secondary utilization of the heat energy generated by the thermoelectric generating equipment, and achieve the purpose of environmental protection.

[0077] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 The power consumption sector diagram in a heat treatment method provided by an embodiment of the present specification is shown. In the prior art, a data center has equipment power consumption b, other power consumption a, and a+b is the total power consumption of the data center. The existing definition of PUE is used. Figure 6 a, b, w, x, y, and z all take the same power unit and are normalized and aligned. According to the law of conservation of energy, all consumed electrical energy is converted into heat energy (light energy such as LEDs is also eventually converted into heat energy), and gradually dissipated into the environment (low-temperature pressurized hydrogen) and finally all enters the cooling gas.

[0078] As can be seen from the above, its energy consumption is greater. In order to reduce energy consumption, the heat energy treatment method provided in this specification forms a vacuum area through a closed layer and an insulating layer, eliminating conduction and convection, and only a small amount of heat energy loss caused by thermal radiation exists. In addition, it should be noted that there is also a very small amount of heat energy loss at the pipeline interface, which is marked as w. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas compresses the low-temperature gas through the turbine linkage equipment, and this part of the work is x, that is, the heat engine recovers energy. After the medium-temperature gas discharged from the heat engine is cooled by the thermoelectric conversion cycle, part of the heat energy is converted into final usable electrical energy based on the specific conversion efficiency of the system (thermoelectric element efficiency, inverter efficiency, energy storage efficiency, transmission efficiency, etc.), marked as y. The remaining heat dissipation and loss energy are marked as z. The conservation of energy shows that a+b=w+x+y+z. Because the energy recovery of x+y is realized, under the premise that the total power of the data center remains unchanged, the external input power is reduced to (a+b)-(x+y), so the overall PUE of the data center is reduced to b / [(a+b)-(x+y)]. When x+y>a, that is, the recovery ratio reaches a calculable value, PUE < 1 can be achieved. If hydrogen is selected as the gas, the specific heat capacity of hydrogen is about 14 times that of air and more than 6 times that of insulating liquid cooling coolant. Its high heat exchange capacity significantly improves the efficiency of the overall thermal cycle system and also reduces other energy consumption in the data center.

[0079] In addition, data centers that use hydrogen as a cooling medium have a large amount of hydrogen, which can be used as a backup energy source for power supply. In the event of a disaster or failure, such as a power outage, the hydrogen used for heat dissipation can be passed into hydrogen batteries in the air environment. Hydrogen batteries use oxygen elements in the air to produce an orderly and controllable electrochemical reaction without the need for combustion, ensuring safety, and the discharge is water, reducing carbon emissions. Hydrogen batteries with sufficient power can replace the original diesel generators and diesel underground storage tanks, reducing costs.

[0080] At the same time, the pressurized hydrogen area only contains hydrogen, and any other substances that react with hydrogen are strictly eliminated. Therefore, the operation and maintenance in the data center are no longer completed manually, but instead are completed by mobile devices ("robots") with robotic arms that can be remotely controlled. The equipment is basically not relocated. Individual equipment and components that need to be relocated or taken out of the computer room can first be placed in the vacuum area from the pressurized hydrogen area. After the hydrogen leaked during the transfer is vacuum-extracted and the boundary between the vacuum area and the hydrogen area is strictly sealed, the relocated objects can be transferred from the vacuum area to the outside air area. In this process, the gas entering the vacuum area from the air area must also be strictly discharged and eliminated after the boundary is closed. Hydrogen leaked from the hydrogen area to the vacuum isolation area can be directly burned (refer to the refinery), and the lost hydrogen can be obtained by electrolyzing water using the recovered electrical energy (e.g., through thermoelectric conversion).

[0081] In summary, by using pressurized gas as a cooling medium and taking advantage of the high specific heat capacity of hydrogen to improve the cooling effect of the data center, and at the same time forming a vacuum area through a sealed layer and an insulating layer, the heat dissipation rate can be effectively reduced, so that the thermal energy conversion equipment can fully complete the thermal energy exchange, so as to realize the secondary utilization of thermal energy and avoid waste of resources.

[0082] Corresponding to the above embodiment, this embodiment also provides a thermal energy treatment method, which is specifically described as follows:

[0083] The heat energy processing method includes a heat energy conversion process: during the heat energy conversion process, the gas pressurization chamber 11 inputs the pressurized gas cooling medium into the heat energy generating device 21 located in the closed layer 40, the gas cooling medium absorbs the heat energy generated by the heat energy generating device 21 and enters the heat energy conversion device 30, the heat energy conversion device 30 converts and outputs the heat energy absorbed by the gas cooling medium, and inputs the gas cooling medium after energy release into the gas pressurization chamber 11.

[0084] Among them, the thermal energy conversion process is applicable to a thermal energy treatment system, and the thermal energy treatment system includes a thermal energy conversion circuit, and the thermal energy conversion circuit includes: a hydrogen pressurized warehouse 10, a data center 20, a thermal energy conversion device 30, a sealed layer 40, and an insulating layer 50, wherein a vacuum area 45 is formed between the sealed layer 40 and the insulating layer 50.

[0085] That is to say, the gas pressurization chamber 11 is connected to the gas inlet of the heat energy generating device 21, the heat energy conversion inlet of the heat energy conversion device 30 is connected to the gas outlet of the heat energy generating device 21, and the heat energy conversion outlet of the heat energy conversion device 30 is connected to the gas pressurization chamber 11; wherein, the sealed layer 40 is located in the insulating layer 50, the gas pressurization chamber 11, the heat energy generating device 21 and the heat energy conversion device 30 are located in the sealed layer 40, so that the heat energy generated by the heat energy generating device 21 is converted inside the sealed layer 40, avoiding gas leakage, and at the same time ensuring that the heat energy has a higher conversion rate.

[0086] Based on this, during the heat treatment process, the gas pressurization chamber 11 inputs the pressurized gas cooling medium into the heat generating device 21 located in the sealed layer 40, and after entering the heat generating device 21 through the gas inlet, absorbs the heat energy generated by the heat generating device 21, and then inputs it from the gas outlet of the heat generating device 21 to the heat conversion inlet of the heat conversion device 30, flows through the heat conversion inlet into the heat conversion device 30, and realizes the conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy or electrical energy, and then inputs it from the heat conversion outlet of the heat conversion device 30 to the gas pressurization chamber 11, and realizes the reciprocating use of pressurized gas for air cooling and heat dissipation. At the same time, in order to avoid gas leakage and convection, the sealed layer 40 is located in the insulating layer 50, and the gas pressurization chamber 11, the heat generating device 21 and the heat conversion device 30 are all located in the sealed layer 40.

[0087] Among them, the pressurized gas cooling medium can use pressurized hydrogen, and the density of the pressurized hydrogen is controlled to be close to that of air, so as to achieve air cooling and heat dissipation using hydrogen without large-scale modification of the original structure of the thermal energy generating equipment, thereby achieving the purpose of environmental protection.

[0088] In summary, the pressurized gas can be used as a cooling medium through the thermal energy treatment method, and the high specific heat capacity of the gas can be used to improve the refrigeration effect of the thermal energy generating equipment. At the same time, a vacuum area is formed by a sealed layer and an insulating layer to effectively avoid the heat dissipation rate, so that the thermal energy conversion equipment can fully complete the thermal energy exchange to realize the secondary utilization of thermal energy and avoid waste of resources.

[0089] Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of heat energy conversion, a turbine linkage device can be used to convert heat energy into mechanical energy, so as to complete energy conversion by using mechanical energy to do work and avoid consumption caused by energy loss. In this embodiment, the heat energy conversion process also includes: the gas cooling medium absorbs the heat energy generated by the heat energy generating device 21 and enters the turbine linkage device 31 in the heat energy conversion device 30, the gas cooling medium that absorbs heat energy drives the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 in the turbine linkage device 31 to rotate, and drives the turbine blades of the driven wheel 312 in the turbine linkage device 31 to rotate through the linkage shaft 313, so as to pressurize the unpressurized gas cooling medium in the gas pressurization chamber 11; wherein, the gas cooling medium that absorbs heat energy releases heat energy after driving the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 to rotate, and is input into the gas pressurization chamber 11.

[0090] The heat energy conversion device 30 includes a turbine linkage device 31, which includes a driving wheel 311 and a driven wheel 312, and the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 and the turbine blades of the driven wheel 312 are connected through a linkage shaft 313. Based on this, the driving wheel 311 included in the turbine linkage device 31 is connected to the gas outlet of the heat energy generating device 21 through the driving wheel gas inlet, the driving wheel gas outlet of the driving wheel 311 is connected to the driven wheel gas inlet of the driven wheel 312, and the driven wheel gas outlet of the driven wheel 312 is connected to the gas pressurization chamber 11; it is used to realize that after the gas releases energy, it can enter the pressurization chamber again for pressurization treatment to form an air-cooled circulation system.

[0091] Based on this, after the gas cooling medium absorbs the heat energy generated by the heat energy generating device 21, it will enter the turbine linkage device 31 in the heat energy conversion device 30, and the gas cooling medium that absorbs the heat energy will drive the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 in the turbine linkage device 31 to rotate, and drive the turbine blades of the driven wheel 312 in the turbine linkage device 31 to rotate through the linkage shaft 313, so as to pressurize the unpressurized gas cooling medium in the gas pressurization chamber 11; wherein, the gas cooling medium that absorbs the heat energy releases the heat energy after driving the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 to rotate, and is input into the gas pressurization chamber 11.

[0092] That is to say, based on the above-mentioned connection relationship, after the pressurized gas absorbs heat energy in the heat energy generating device 21, the pressurized gas that absorbs heat energy will enter the turbine linkage device 31 and enter the driving wheel 311 through the gas inlet of the driving wheel. Thereafter, the pressurized gas that absorbs heat energy will drive the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 to rotate. As the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 rotate, the linkage shaft 313 will be driven to move, and the linkage shaft 313 is connected to the driven wheel 312. Therefore, after the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 rotate, the linkage shaft 313 will drive the turbine blades of the driven wheel 312 to rotate. At this time, the driven wheel 312 will pressurize the gas that has done work and input it into the gas pressurization chamber 11 after the pressurization is completed. If the pressurized gas has not yet reached the same density as the air, it can be pressurized for the second time through the gas pressurization chamber 11 to save the energy consumed when the gas pressurization chamber 11 compresses the gas and achieves the purpose of using heat energy to assist pressurization.

[0093] Among them, the pressurized gas of the driven wheel 312 is the gas discharged from the driving wheel 311 after the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 are driven to rotate. Its thermal energy has been released by pushing the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311, forming a low-temperature and low-pressure gas that enters the driven wheel 312 for pressurization treatment.

[0094] In summary, by adopting a turbine linkage device, not only can the conversion of thermal energy be achieved through a simple structure, but the conversion efficiency can also be improved. At the same time, the thermal energy is used to directly pressurize the gas in the driven wheel, which can avoid the efficiency overhead when the thermal energy is converted into other energy. The thermal energy generated by the thermal energy generating equipment can be used in its own thermal energy release process to achieve the purpose of saving energy.

[0095] On this basis, considering that the gas output from the driving wheel 311 has done work, but may not have completely released the heat energy, the gas that releases part of the heat energy will form a medium-temperature medium-pressure gas, still carrying some heat energy, and the density is lower than that of air. If this part of the gas is directly input into the driven wheel 312 for pressurization, and then enters the heat energy generating device for heat dissipation, the heat dissipation effect will be greatly reduced, and as time goes by, the temperature in the closed layer will become higher and higher. Therefore, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect, a thermoelectric conversion device 32 can also be set in the heat energy conversion device 30, which is used to use the gas that still carries some heat energy for secondary conversion to fully release the heat energy in the gas, so that the gas input into the gas pressurization chamber again is low-temperature and low-pressure gas. In this embodiment, the heat energy conversion process further includes: the gas cooling medium that absorbs heat energy releases heat energy after driving the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 to rotate, and is input into the thermoelectric conversion device 32 in the heat energy conversion device 30; the gas cooling medium after releasing energy enters at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321 in the thermoelectric conversion device 32, and generates electric potential through the thermoelectric conversion component 322 arranged on the outer layer of the at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321 and outputs it;

[0096] After the energy release, the gas cooling medium is output from the at least one layer of comb-shaped pipe 321, and then circulated back to the at least one layer of comb-shaped pipe 321 through the gas circulation pipe 324 in the thermoelectric conversion device 32 until the control valve 323 in the thermoelectric conversion device 32 is opened, and the gas cooling medium after energy release is input into the gas pressurization chamber 11.

[0097] The heat energy conversion device 30 includes a thermoelectric conversion device 32, which includes at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321, a thermoelectric conversion assembly 322, a control valve 323, and a gas circulation pipe 324. Based on this, the driving wheel gas outlet of the driving wheel 311 is connected to the exhaust gas inlet of the thermoelectric conversion device 32, the exhaust gas inlet is connected to at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321, at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321 is connected to the cold air outlet of the thermoelectric conversion device 32, the cold air outlet is connected to the driven wheel gas inlet of the driven wheel 312, and the driven wheel gas outlet of the driven wheel 312 is connected to the gas pressurization chamber 11; and the thermoelectric conversion assembly 322 is arranged outside at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321; the exhaust gas inlet and the cold air outlet are connected through the gas circulation pipe 324, and the exhaust gas inlet and the cold air outlet are both provided with a control valve 323, which is used to realize the formation of a small gas circulation system in the thermoelectric conversion device 32 to improve the efficiency and sufficiency of converting thermal energy into electrical energy.

[0098] Based on this, the gas cooling medium that absorbs heat energy releases heat energy after driving the turbine blades of the driving wheel 311 to rotate, and is input into the thermoelectric conversion device 32 in the heat energy conversion equipment 30. The gas cooling medium after releasing the energy enters at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321 in the thermoelectric conversion device 32, and generates and outputs an electric potential through the thermoelectric conversion component 322 arranged on the outer layer of at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321; after outputting at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321, the gas cooling medium after releasing the energy is circulated and fed back to at least one layer of comb-shaped pipes 321 through the gas circulation pipe 324 in the thermoelectric conversion device 32 until the control valve 323 in the thermoelectric conversion device 32 is opened, and the gas cooling medium after releasing the energy is input into the gas pressurization chamber 11.

[0099] That is to say, when the gas after working through the driving wheel 311 has not released all the heat energy, it will form medium-temperature medium-pressure gas. In order to improve the heat dissipation effect and avoid resource waste, the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas can be input into the thermoelectric conversion device 32, and a gas circulation system is formed in the thermoelectric conversion device 32. After the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas enters the thermoelectric conversion device 32, it will enter the comb-shaped pipe 321. After the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas flows through the comb-shaped pipe 321, the thermoelectric conversion assembly 322 arranged on the outside of each comb-shaped pipe 321 will absorb the residual heat energy in the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas and convert it into electrical energy. Thereafter, if the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas that has absorbed heat energy still carries heat energy, the control valve can be left open, and the gas will flow back to the comb-shaped pipe 321 through the gas circulation pipe 324. After multiple reciprocations, until the medium-temperature medium-pressure gas releases all the heat energy, when its temperature meets the refrigeration conditions, the control valve 323 will be opened to input the low-temperature and low-pressure gas into the driven wheel 312 for pressurization.

[0100] That is, the gas output by the driving wheel will also carry some heat energy, so inputting it into the thermoelectric conversion device can achieve the purpose of fully absorbing heat energy and dissipating heat at the same time. After the gas temperature is circulated and reduced to the expected temperature by the thermoelectric conversion device, it is used again as a heat dissipation medium for the heat energy generating equipment to achieve gas recycling and save energy consumption. Among them, the thermoelectric conversion device can be prevented from being in an air environment, that is, it can be arranged outside the insulation layer to achieve a temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the gas temperature to support thermoelectric conversion. However, it should be noted that the environment does not need to be too low in temperature, and it is only necessary to keep the temperature difference between the gas temperature and the ambient temperature between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius. From a cost perspective, the thermoelectric conversion device can be directly arranged in the external natural environment, so that the requirements for site selection will not be too harsh, and the thermoelectric conversion device can be arranged and maintained more conveniently.

[0101] In order to improve the conversion rate of heat energy to electrical energy, each pipeline of the thermoelectric conversion device can be made of strictly closed materials with good heat dissipation, such as copper, aluminum and other materials. After the medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas is diverted to the multi-layer comb-shaped pipe, the thermoelectric conversion components are densely arranged on the outside of the pipe, and electric potential will be generated through the thermoelectric conversion components; at the same time, control valves are provided at the inlet and outlet of the thermoelectric conversion device, and the inlet and outlet are connected by a gas circulation pipe. The design of circular feedback is adopted to fully convert heat energy into electrical energy. After a batch of medium-temperature and medium-pressure gas enters the thermoelectric conversion area, it repeatedly flows through the comb-shaped pipe, and the heat energy circulates to generate electricity. After the temperature is continuously lowered until the conditions are met, the valve can be opened to input the low-temperature gas into the pressurized chamber or the driven wheel for pressurization. Among them, the valve can be controlled to open and close according to the temperature of the gas.

[0102] In summary, by using a thermoelectric conversion device to convert thermal energy into electrical energy, the conversion of thermal energy can be further improved, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation. At the same time, the electrical energy can be stored or used to avoid waste caused by excessive energy consumption.

[0103] In addition, after the thermoelectric conversion component absorbs heat energy and converts it into electrical energy, the electrical energy can be used or stored in combination with an inverter and electrical equipment. In this embodiment, the thermal energy conversion process also includes: inputting an electric potential into the inverter 325 in the thermoelectric conversion component 322, converting the DC voltage into an AC voltage, and supplying power to the electrical equipment 326 in the thermoelectric conversion component 322.

[0104] The thermoelectric conversion assembly 322 includes an inverter 325 and an electrical device 326. Based on this, since the electric energy is generated by the thermoelectric conversion assembly arranged on the outer layer of the comb-shaped pipe, and the multiple layers of the comb-shaped pipe are arranged in parallel, in order to improve the utilization rate of electric energy, the electric energy generated by the thermoelectric conversion assembly outside each layer of the comb-shaped pipe can be connected in series, and then input into the inverter to form alternating current, and finally the alternating current can be used to power the electrical device.

[0105] That is to say, the electric energy generated by the thermoelectric conversion components arranged outside each comb-shaped pipe will be superimposed in series, and then the total potential will be input into the inverter, and the DC voltage will be converted into AC voltage through the inverter, and it will be used as the power supply for UPE (Uninterruptible Power Supply), batteries, photo equipment or electric fans and other equipment. The inverter can convert DC into AC to adapt to electrical equipment on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also achieve voltage stabilization and shaping, improve the quality of power, and thus provide more stable power supply to electrical equipment.

[0106] In summary, by using a thermoelectric conversion component to convert the remaining heat energy in the pressurized gas into electrical energy, and then converting it into alternating current through an inverter for use by electrical equipment, the electrical energy consumed by the heat generating equipment can be effectively saved, and resource recycling can be achieved, thereby forming a cooling system with lower energy consumption.

[0107] See also Figure 7 , the above method is explained by taking the machine room as a heat energy generating device as an example. Pressurized hydrogen will be used as a cooling medium. The hydrogen input into the pressurized chamber is the pre-pressurized hydrogen after cooling and heat dissipation, and the hydrogen that potentially leaks into the vacuum area. The pressurized chamber uses air pressure to transfer, recover the heat energy of high-temperature and high-pressure gas to do work, and pressurize the low-temperature hydrogen to make its density equal to the density of air. It is input into the machine room through the gas inlet, and the pressurized hydrogen enters the cold channel of each area along the existing pipeline of the air-cooled machine room. The low-temperature pressurized hydrogen flows through the inside of each device and takes away the heat energy converted from electrical energy during the operation of the equipment. Here, because the specific heat capacity of pressurized hydrogen is 14 times that of air, the heat dissipation efficiency is higher under the existing wind speed per unit flow. After the heat exchange is completed in the equipment, the pressurized hydrogen after heating enters the hot channel and enters the gas outlet along the existing line. Based on the gas characteristics, PV / T=nR, where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, n is the number of moles (i.e., mass divided by molar mass), and R is a constant. After absorbing heat energy, the gas outlet space V remains unchanged, the temperature T rises, and therefore the pressure P increases. At this time, based on the working principle of the heat engine, the input high temperature is T H The gas has an output temperature of T after work is done. L Gas, input gas Q H , remove exhaust gas heat energy Q L , work done W = Q H -QL , then the heat engine efficiency e=(Q H -Q L ) / Q H , the efficiency upper limit is e ideal =(T H -T L ) / T H , used to realize the conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy, and finally return the low-temperature and low-pressure gas to the pressurized chamber after circulation, forming a cycle. Among them, the thermal engine energy storage can be selected to drive the engine rotor to generate current and charge the battery, or to lift the height of the object in a piston / turbine manner, and the work is converted into gravitational potential energy storage. The process of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy and electrical energy can be referred to the description in the above embodiment, and this embodiment will not be repeated here.
