TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of heat dissipation systems, in particular to a liquid cooling heat exchange module. BACKGROUND
[0002] The heat sink is an important component of electronic equipment, and the heat exchange device of the circulating cooling loop generally adopts liquid-liquid exchange or gas-liquid exchange principle in the electronic load equipment carried on the aerospace vehicle. In a large-scale integrated electronic system, multiple subsystems are usually connected in the same circulating cooling loop, and the flow channel process and material in multiple subsystems must meet the same standard, the heat dissipation working medium must be the same model and the same batch, and the flow regulation must be controlled by the circulating cooling loop controller, which will bring the following problems:
[0003] First, the flow regulation of the parallel liquid cooling loop is related to each other, and changing the liquid cooling flow of any subsystem will cause the liquid cooling loop flow of other subsystems connected in parallel to change. The more the number of parallel subsystems, the more difficult it is to control the flow of each branch of the system, and even the circulating cooling loop controller cannot control a set of flow parameters that meet the needs of all subsystems. The more obvious the difference between the subsystems, the more prominent the contradiction.
[0004] Second, the flow channel process and material must meet the same standard, which means that all the heat dissipation components of the subsystems must be completed by the same production unit. The production capacity of the heat dissipation component production unit is limited, and it may not be able to simultaneously meet the demand of the heat dissipation components of multiple subsystem units, resulting in that individual subsystems cannot be debugged and tested in time due to lack of heat dissipation components, and the development cycle is prolonged.
[0005] Third, the working medium must be strictly unified, which leads to multiple subsystems ordering from the same production unit at the same time, and the production capacity of the working medium production unit is limited, which may not be able to simultaneously meet the demand of the working medium of multiple subsystem units, resulting in that individual subsystems cannot carry out joint test in time due to lack of heat dissipation working medium, and the development cycle is prolonged.
[0006] Fourth, for some special electronic equipment, the design and production process of the heat dissipation cold plate may be inconsistent with other process flow of the equipment. In order to meet the process consistency of the subsystem heat dissipation component and the circulating cooling loop heat dissipation component, the original process flow of the subsystem may need to be changed, which may lead to the reduction of other excellent performance of the subsystem equipment itself.

[0035] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a liquid-cooled heat exchange module, comprising: an interlayer isolation plate assembly, a sinusoidal heat exchange assembly, a channel connecting pipe, a first liquid inlet and a first liquid outlet, a second liquid inlet and a second liquid outlet. The sinusoidal heat exchange assembly is disposed within the interlayer isolation plate assembly, forming a sinusoidal flow channel, including a first layer of sinusoidal flow channels and a second layer of sinusoidal flow channels. The channel connecting pipe connects the first layer of sinusoidal flow channels and the second layer of sinusoidal flow channels, allowing a first temperature working fluid or a second temperature working fluid to flow within the first layer of sinusoidal flow channels and the second layer of sinusoidal flow channels.
[0037] The first working fluid at a first temperature enters through the first inlet and flows out through the first outlet, forming a first channel, which includes a sinusoidal flow path through which the first working fluid flows. The second working fluid at a second temperature enters through the second inlet and flows out through the second outlet, forming a second channel, which also includes a sinusoidal flow path through which the second working fluid flows. The sinusoidal flow paths in the first and second channels are adjacent vertically and horizontally, enabling heat exchange between the first and second working fluids.
[0038] In practice, the first liquid inlet and the first liquid outlet of the liquid cooling heat exchange module are connected to the load liquid cooling circuit, and the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet of the liquid cooling heat exchange module are connected to the circulating cooling circuit; or the first liquid inlet and the first liquid outlet are connected to the circulating cooling circuit, and the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet are connected to the load liquid cooling circuit. The temperature of the working medium flowing in the load liquid cooling circuit is higher than the temperature of the working medium flowing in the circulating cooling circuit. When the working medium at two different temperatures flows in the first channel and the second channel of the liquid cooling heat exchange module respectively, because the first channel and the second channel are independent of each other, the types of the working medium at two different temperatures do not have to be the same, thereby avoiding the constraint of uniform working medium type on the development and production of the load. For example, the first temperature working medium and the second temperature working medium can both be a 35% volume ratio ethylene glycol water solution, or different working media can be selected according to actual needs.
[0039] Moreover, when multiple sub-systems composed of liquid cooling heat exchange modules and load liquid cooling circuits are connected in parallel in a unified circulating cooling circuit, because the high-temperature working medium and the low-temperature working medium are isolated from each other, the low-temperature working medium flow channel is connected to the circulating cooling circuit, and the low-temperature working medium flow channels of different liquid cooling heat exchange modules use a uniform type of working medium, but the high-temperature working medium flow channels of different liquid cooling heat exchange modules do not have to use a uniform type of working medium. During testing and debugging, alternative working media can be used and are not limited by the uniform type of working medium used in the circulating cooling circuit.
[0040] Generally, in parallel liquid cooling circuits, the flow regulation of the liquid cooling circuits is related to each other. Changing the liquid cooling flow of any sub-system causes the adjustment of the liquid cooling flow of other sub-systems connected in parallel to change accordingly. The more the number of sub-systems connected in parallel, the more difficult it is to regulate the flow of each branch of the system. Even the circulating cooling circuit controller cannot regulate a certain set of flow parameters to meet the needs of all sub-systems. The more obvious the difference between the sub-systems, the more prominent the contradiction. However, according to the liquid cooling heat exchange module of the present application, any number of liquid cooling heat exchange modules can be selected according to the heat dissipation power requirement of the load. The branches of the circulating cooling circuit adopt a specific flow mode or several flow modes, and the independent load liquid cooling circuit adopts a variable flow mode. When the heat dissipation power of the load increases, the flow of the load liquid cooling circuit increases accordingly. When the heat dissipation power of the load decreases, the flow of the load liquid cooling circuit decreases accordingly. The change of the heat dissipation power of the load liquid cooling circuit affects the flow of the load liquid cooling circuit but does not affect the flow of the circulating cooling branch, thereby solving the problem of difficult regulation of the flow of the circulating cooling circuit branch. The flow of the low-temperature working medium basically does not need to be regulated and remains constant, so the parallel sub-systems are not constrained by the uniform regulation of the flow.
[0041] The liquid cooling heat exchange module provided by the application can use the same liquid cooling heat exchange module for all loads, adopt unified standards and specifications for processes and materials, and can be produced in batches in advance without separate technical requirements for production sites, thereby forming a shelf product and solving the problem of long development cycle caused by order-driven production.
[0042] According to some embodiments of the application, the interlayer insulation plate assembly includes a first interlayer insulation plate, a second interlayer insulation plate, and a third interlayer insulation plate arranged in parallel, the first interlayer insulation plate and the second interlayer insulation plate define a first space, and the second interlayer insulation plate and the third interlayer insulation plate define a second space. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the interlayer spacing of the first interlayer insulation plate and the second interlayer insulation plate is the height of the first space, that is, the height of the first layer of sinusoidal heat exchange plates or the first layer of flow channel insulation plates, which is h1; the interlayer spacing of the second interlayer insulation plate and the third interlayer insulation plate is the height of the second space, that is, the height of the second layer of sinusoidal heat exchange plates or the second layer of flow channel insulation plates, which is h2. The value of h1 can be equal to the value of h2.
[0043] According to some embodiments of the application, the sinusoidal heat exchange assembly includes a first layer of sinusoidal heat exchange components and a second layer of sinusoidal heat exchange components, wherein the first layer of sinusoidal heat exchange components includes a plurality of first sinusoidal heat exchange plates connected to the first interlayer insulation plate and the second interlayer insulation plate to form a plurality of sinusoidal first layer flow channels in the first space; and the second layer of sinusoidal heat exchange components includes a plurality of second sinusoidal heat exchange plates connected to the second interlayer insulation plate and the third interlayer insulation plate to form a plurality of sinusoidal second layer flow channels in the second space.
[0044] In the above sinusoidal heat exchange assembly, each first sinusoidal heat exchange plate can be fixedly connected between the first interlayer insulation plate and the second interlayer insulation plate by welding, and a sinusoidal first layer flow channel is formed between adjacent two first sinusoidal heat exchange plates, and the spacing between adjacent first sinusoidal heat exchange plates is set to be equal. Similarly, each second sinusoidal heat exchange plate can be fixedly connected between the second interlayer insulation plate and the third interlayer insulation plate by welding, and a sinusoidal second layer flow channel is formed between adjacent two second sinusoidal heat exchange plates, and the spacing between adjacent second sinusoidal heat exchange plates is set to be equal. The first sinusoidal heat exchange plate and the second sinusoidal heat exchange plate are symmetrical about the second interlayer insulation plate.
[0045] The sinusoidal heat exchange plate has a sinusoidal curve along the flow channel direction, and the curve shape where the sinusoidal heat exchange plate intersects with the interlayer insulation plate follows the curve formula: wherein x represents an arbitrary position along the flow channel direction (unit: mm); y represents the amplitude of the sinusoidal heat exchange plate fluctuation corresponding to the x position perpendicular to the flow channel direction (unit: mm); a represents the maximum value of the sinusoidal heat exchange plate fluctuation; and k represents the ratio of the flow channel length corresponding to one fluctuation period of the sinusoidal heat exchange plate to a / 2.
[0046] This invention uses a sinusoidal heat exchange plate with a sinusoidal curve shape to exchange heat between working fluids at different temperatures. The flow velocity of the two working fluids at different temperatures changes periodically in their respective channels. Under the condition of equal flow rate, it has a higher heat exchange rate than the working fluid with equal velocity at all points in the prior art. The efficient heat exchange is more suitable for heat dissipation of loads with limited space volume, especially for heat dissipation circuits of aerospace vehicles.
[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the sinusoidal flow channel is provided with a plurality of flow channel isolation plates, including a plurality of first-layer flow channel isolation plates in a first-layer sinusoidal flow channel and a plurality of second-layer flow channel isolation plates in a second sinusoidal flow channel, wherein the plurality of first-layer flow channel isolation plates are placed between two adjacent first-layer sinusoidal heat exchange plates to separate the first-layer sinusoidal flow channel into a first-layer separated flow channel; and the plurality of second-layer flow channel isolation plates are placed between two adjacent second-layer sinusoidal heat exchange plates to separate the second-layer sinusoidal flow channel into a second-layer separated flow channel.
[0048] The aforementioned first-layer flow channel isolation plate can be welded to the first-layer inter-isolation plate and the second-layer inter-isolation plate, and is arranged between two adjacent first-layer sinusoidal heat exchange plates and parallel to the first-layer sinusoidal heat exchange plates. Similarly, the second-layer flow channel isolation plate can be welded to the second-layer inter-isolation plate and the third-layer inter-isolation plate, and is arranged between two adjacent second-layer sinusoidal heat exchange plates and parallel to the second-layer sinusoidal heat exchange plates.
[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the maximum value of the undulation of the sinusoidal heat exchanger plate is denoted as 'a', which can be between 10mm and 20mm. The distance between the sinusoidal heat exchanger plate and the flow channel isolation plate is denoted as 'b', and the minimum distance between the sinusoidal heat exchanger plate and the flow channel isolation plate is denoted as 'b0'. Then the value of 'b' is between 'b0' and 'b0+a', where 'b0' can be between 5mm and 10mm. The height of the first or second space should be 1 to 10 times the value of 'b0'. Assuming the maximum value of the undulation of the sinusoidal heat exchanger plate is 'a' = 10mm, the thickness of the flow channel isolation plate is 'c' = 1mm, the minimum distance between the sinusoidal heat exchanger plate and the flow channel isolation plate is 'b0' = 5mm, and the height of the first or second space is 6mm, then the height of the first or second space is 1.2 times the value of 'b0'. The distance between two adjacent sinusoidal heat exchanger plates is: a + 2b0 + c = (10 + 10 + 1)mm = 21mm.
[0050] The liquid cooling heat exchange module provided by the application realizes heat exchange through adjacent sinusoidal heat exchange plates, and the low-temperature working medium and the high-temperature working medium for exchanging heat are both divided into two parts by the flow channel isolation plate in the sinusoidal flow channel, and the flow speed alternately changes according to the sinusoidal shape, and according to the Bernoulli equation principle, the flow speed of the working medium is larger at the position close to the flow channel isolation plate of the sinusoidal heat exchange plate, and the flow speed of the working medium is smaller at the position far from the flow channel isolation plate of the sinusoidal heat exchange plate, local turbulent flow is generated at the position where the flow speed changes from large to small, the effect of efficient heat exchange is achieved, compared with the heat pipe heat exchange technology with fixed flow speed, the heat exchange module provided by the application has higher heat exchange efficiency, is easier to realize small-size heat exchange equipment, and is more suitable for a heat dissipation device of an aerospace vehicle.
[0051] According to some embodiments of the application, the channel connecting pipe comprises: a first side channel connecting pipe and a second side channel connecting pipe, wherein the first side channel connecting pipe is arranged at the first cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module, sequentially connects the first layer sinusoidal flow channel at the odd number position and the second layer sinusoidal flow channel at the adjacent even number position larger than the odd number position, and the second side channel connecting pipe is arranged at the second cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module, sequentially connects the second layer sinusoidal flow channel at the odd number position and the first layer sinusoidal flow channel at the adjacent even number position larger than the odd number position. The first cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module and the second cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module refer to two rectangular cross sections perpendicular to the sinusoidal flow channel formed after the layer isolation plate assembly is combined in the liquid cooling heat exchange module.
[0052] The port part of the first layer sinusoidal flow channel and the first layer isolation plate and the second layer isolation plate form a plurality of rectangular holes in the first cross section and the second cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module, and the port part of the second layer sinusoidal flow channel and the second layer isolation plate and the third layer isolation plate also form a plurality of rectangular holes in the first cross section and the second cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module. Two rectangular holes are arranged inside each channel connecting pipe, and the size of the rectangular holes on the first cross section or the second cross section is consistent, so that the working medium in the sinusoidal flow channel can pass through the channel connecting pipe better.
[0053] The first temperature working medium or the second temperature working medium flows to the channel connecting pipe in the two separated flow channels formed by the flow channel isolation plate and the two adjacent sinusoidal heat exchange plates, and then converges at the channel connecting pipe and flows to the next sinusoidal flow channel. The working medium in the first channel or the second channel is separated and mixed multiple times when flowing, so as to better uniform heat and further improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0054] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first liquid inlet and the first liquid outlet are respectively located at the second layer sinusoidal flow channel of the smallest odd number position and the first layer sinusoidal flow channel of the largest number position of the first cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module; the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet are respectively located at the first layer sinusoidal flow channel of the smallest odd number position and the second layer sinusoidal flow channel of the largest number position of the second cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module. As shown in Figure 1 or Figure 4 .
[0055] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first liquid inlet is arranged at the second layer sinusoidal flow channel of the smallest odd number position outside the first cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module, the second liquid inlet is arranged at the second layer sinusoidal flow channel of the largest number position outside the second cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module, or the first liquid inlet is arranged at the first layer sinusoidal flow channel of the largest number position outside the first cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module, and the second liquid inlet is arranged at the first layer sinusoidal flow channel of the smallest odd number position outside the second cross section of the liquid cooling heat exchange module. The first temperature working medium entering the first channel from the first liquid inlet and the second temperature working medium entering the second channel from the second liquid inlet flow in opposite directions in the adjacent first layer sinusoidal flow channel or the adjacent second layer sinusoidal flow channel. As shown in Figure 4 , the low temperature working medium and the high temperature working medium used for heat exchange can realize efficient heat exchange in the reverse injection mode
[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, the materials used for the interlayer isolation plate assembly, the sinusoidal heat exchange plate assembly, the flow channel isolation plate and the channel connecting pipe do not chemically react with the working medium. For example, the materials of the interlayer isolation plate, the flow channel isolation plate and the channel connecting pipe can be selected as aluminum alloy with a thermal conductivity coefficient less than or equal to 200 W / m.K, and the sinusoidal heat exchange plate is selected as a material with a thermal conductivity coefficient greater than or equal to 200 W / m.K, such as 1060 type aluminum alloy with a thermal conductivity coefficient of 237 W / m.K.
[0057] According to some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the first interlayer isolation plate is equal to the thickness of the third interlayer isolation plate, and is greater than or equal to the thickness of the second interlayer isolation plate; the thickness of the plurality of sinusoidal heat exchange plates is equal, and is greater than or equal to the thickness of the flow channel isolation plate. As shown in Figure 7 For example, the thickness of the first interlayer isolation plate or the third interlayer isolation plate is set as T f1 , and the value range of T f1 is 2mm-5mm; the thickness of the second interlayer isolation plate is T f2 , and the value range of T f2 is 2mm-4mm; the thickness of the sinusoidal heat exchange plate is T s , and the range of T s is 1mm-3mm; the thickness of the flow channel isolation plate is c, and the range of c is 1mm-2mm.
[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of liquid cooling heat exchange modules are connected in series to realize heat dissipation of the load. As shown in Figure 8As shown, 2 identical liquid cooling heat exchange modules are configured, the outlet of the first temperature working medium of the first liquid cooling heat exchange module is connected with the inlet of the first temperature working medium of the second liquid cooling heat exchange module, that is, A12-1 connects A1-2, and the outlet of the second temperature working medium of the second liquid cooling heat exchange module is connected with the inlet of the first temperature working medium of the first liquid cooling heat exchange module, that is, B12-2 connects B1-1. The complete flow path of the first temperature working medium in the first channel is A1-1→B6-1→B11-1→A8-1→A3-1→B4-1→B9-1→A10-1→A5-1→B2-1→B7-1→A12-1→A1-2→B6-2→B11-2→A8-2→A3-2→B4-2→B9-2→A10-2→A5-2→B2-2→B7-2→A12-2, and the complete flow path of the second temperature working medium in the second channel is B1-2→A6-2→A11-2→B8-2→B3-2→A4-2→A9-2→B10-2→B5-2→A2-2→A7-2→B12-2→B1-1→A6-1→A11-1→B8-1→B3-1→A4-1→A9-1→B10-1→B5-1→A2-1→A7-1→B12-1.
[0059] The liquid cooling heat exchange module provided by the application can be connected in series in any number, facilitating standardized and serialized production, being easier to form a universal product, facilitating integrated design, and being not constrained by order technical requirements.

[0062] The first temperature working medium is set as high temperature working medium, enters from the first liquid inlet, and flows out from the first liquid outlet. The flow direction of the high temperature working medium in the first channel is A1→B6→B11→A8→A3→B4→B9→A10→A5→B2→B7→A12.

The flow direction of the low temperature working medium in the second channel is B1→A6→A11→B8→B3→A4→A9→B10→B5→A2→A7→B12. The second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet are connected with the circulating cooling circuit. The water outlet of the circulating cooling circuit corresponds to the second liquid inlet, and the water inlet of the circulating cooling circuit corresponds to the second liquid outlet.
[0064] It can be seen that, in the liquid cooling heat exchange module provided by the application, the sinusoidal flow channels in the first channel and the sinusoidal flow channels in the second channel are adjacent to each other in the left and right directions and in the up and down directions, and the high temperature working medium flowing in the first channel and the low temperature working medium flowing in the second channel belong to reverse flow in the flow process, so that efficient heat exchange is obtained.
[0065] Further, since a flow channel isolation plate is arranged between any adjacent sinusoidal heat exchange plates, each sinusoidal flow channel is divided into two independent flow channels. Taking two adjacent sinusoidal flow channels A3→B4 and B5→A2 as examples, the sinusoidal flow channel in which A3→B4 is located is divided into two separated flow channels A3→B4left and A3→B4right by the flow channel isolation plate, and the high temperature working medium flows in the two flow channels; the sinusoidal flow channel in which B5→A2 is located is divided into two separated flow channels B5→A2left and B5→A2right by the flow channel isolation plate, and the low temperature working medium flows in the two flow channels. As shown in FIG. 4, the high temperature working medium in F3→B4left and the low temperature working medium in B5→F2left exchange heat through the sinusoidal heat exchange plate. The high temperature working medium or the low temperature working medium is in a straight line flow channel near the flow channel isolation plate and in a curved flow near the sinusoidal heat exchange plate. Figure 5
[0066] The initial velocity of the high-temperature working medium in the flow channel A3→B4 is va0, and the initial velocity of the low-temperature working medium in the flow channel B5→A2 is vb0. In the flow channel A3→B4left, the flow velocity of the high-temperature working medium close to the flow channel isolation plate is close to va0. According to Bernoulli's principle, the flow velocity of the high-temperature working medium close to the sinusoidal heat exchange plate periodically varies between va0 and va1, and va0>va1. Similarly, in the flow channel B5→A2left, the working medium close to the flow channel isolation plate is close to vb0. According to Bernoulli's principle, the flow velocity of the working medium close to the sinusoidal heat exchange plate periodically varies between vb0 and vb1, and vb0>vb1. In the process of changing the flow velocity of the high-temperature working medium from va0 to va1 and the flow velocity of the low-temperature working medium from vb0 to vb1, local turbulent flow is formed near the surface of the sinusoidal heat exchange plate, which stirs and mixes the internal high-temperature working medium or the internal low-temperature working medium, increases the internal heat conduction coefficient, and accelerates heat transfer. At the outlet of the flow channel A3→B4left, the flow velocity of the working medium returns to va0, and at the outlet of the flow channel B5→A2left, the flow velocity of the working medium returns to vb0. Therefore, under the condition of constant flow velocity, the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid cooling heat exchange module provided by the application is higher.
