Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of high-power heat dissipation technology, in particular to a high-performance gas-liquid two-phase heat exchange radiator and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing market demand for high-power semiconductor devices such as communication, new energy, rail transit, smart grid, medical equipment, etc., GTO, MCT, IGBT and other high-power semiconductor devices have developed rapidly, so today we are facing the more difficult heat dissipation demand situation: first, the packaging density of high-power semiconductor devices is constantly increasing, and the heat flux is constantly increasing; second, due to the continuous improvement of the performance of high-power semiconductor devices, the heat loss is getting higher and higher; in addition, high-power semiconductor devices have penetrated into various fields, and their application environment is constantly expanding, with great differences in the thermal environment used. These trends of high-power semiconductor devices make the overheating problem of electronic equipment more and more prominent.
[0003] The current conventional heat dissipation methods include air cooling and water cooling. Air cooling has been the main application technology for high-power heat dissipation due to its simple structure, high reliability, safety, high IP level, and low cost. However, the conventional air-cooled radiator has the following limitations when operating in a steady state:
[0004] (1) When high-power semiconductor devices operate at high power or high heat flux, the thermal conductivity of conventional forced air-cooled radiators is generally only 130-220 W / m.K. The area around the contact between the radiator substrate and the high-power semiconductor device heat source forms a high-temperature area, and heat is transferred from the heat source to the surrounding area through conduction, forming a high temperature gradient. The closer to the heat source, the higher the temperature, and the farther away from the heat source, the lower the temperature, and the temperature distribution is very uneven.
[0005] (2) The uneven temperature distribution of the substrate causes the temperature of the fins in the high-temperature area of the substrate to be high, and when air flows through, a large temperature difference is formed. The temperature of the fins far from the high-temperature area is low, and the temperature difference between the fins and the air is low, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency.
[0006] (3) In the radial direction of the heat exchanger fins, due to the low thermal conductivity of the fin material, 130-220 W / m.K, a large temperature difference is formed in the radial direction of the fins, generally up to 5-25 K. The distribution is extremely uneven, which seriously affects the heat exchange efficiency of the fins.
[0007] (4) Because the heat exchange performance of the conventional forced air cooling radiator is poor, the conventional forced air cooling heat exchange coefficient is 10-25 W / m2.K, and for high-power heat dissipation requirements, a large enough heat dissipation area is required, and because the fins form a large temperature difference in the radial direction, the temperature difference is generally 5-25 K, the higher the fin, the lower the heat exchange efficiency of the fin, and the volume and weight are greatly increased, so the height of the fin is generally ≤100 mm. In order to meet the heat dissipation requirements, the fin spacing is reduced to increase the heat dissipation area of the radiator, which greatly increases the flow resistance of the radiator.
[0008] In summary, there is an urgent need for a high-performance radiator that can effectively solve the problems of uneven heat distribution, high-temperature area mainly concentrated in the substrate heat source area, low fin heat exchange efficiency, and large temperature difference in the prior art.

[0050] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.
[0051] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not imply the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a high-performance gas-liquid two-phase heat exchange radiator, including a sealed and connected phase change substrate 1 and a heat exchange zone. The phase change substrate 1 is a hollow cavity with one end open, and its phase change shell surface is sintered with a multi-element sintered powder capillary structure. The heat exchange zone includes a heat exchanger 2 and a sealed cavity composed of a manifold 3, a steam chamber 4, and a connecting chamber 5. A certain amount of phase change working fluid is injected into the sealed cavity. Specifically, the manifold 3 is placed in the middle of the phase change substrate 1 and the heat exchanger 2 as the receiving part. The steam chamber 4 and the connecting chamber 5 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the heat exchanger 2. The steam chamber 4 is connected to the manifold 3 through a steam delivery pipe 6, and the connecting chamber 5 is connected to the manifold 3 through a connecting pipe 7. The connecting chamber 5 is also connected to the phase change substrate 1 through a condensation return pipe 8. The steam delivery pipe 6 and the condensate return pipe 8 are made of aluminum or aluminum alloy round pipes. The phase change working medium is required to have a phase change temperature suitable for the application environment (the commonly used phase change temperature is generally between -50℃ and 100℃), a high latent heat of vaporization (80J / g to 2260J / g), chemical stability and compatibility with the shell material, and to meet the environmental requirements of ODP and GWP, including water, ammonia, fluorinated alkanes, fluorinated ethers, cycloalkanes and Freon substitutes, etc.
[0053] like Figures 2-5As shown, the manifold 3 includes a manifold shell 19, a manifold chamber, a vapor-liquid two-phase inlet 20, a vapor-liquid two-phase outlet 21, and a flow-guiding reinforcing plate 22. The vapor-liquid two-phase outlet 21 is generally set to 1 to 5, with an outlet diameter of φ10.0mm to φ50.0mm. The processing material of the manifold is generally 1-series aluminum alloy, 3-series aluminum alloy, 5-series aluminum alloy, 6-series aluminum alloy, etc. When the phase change substrate 1 absorbs heat, causing the phase change working medium to boil and the vapor-liquid two-phase working medium fluid generated by the phase change will enter the manifold 3 through the vapor-liquid two-phase inlet 20 and flow out through the vapor-liquid two-phase outlet 21.
[0054] There are two connection methods between the manifold 3 and the heat exchanger 2, both of which are beneficial for the reflux of condensate. The first connection method is that the bottom end face of the heat exchanger 2 is parallel to the manifold 3 or at an angle of 0°-45°. That is, the steam chamber 4 and the connecting chamber 5 set on both sides of the heat exchanger 2 are perpendicular to the manifold 3. In this case, the flow guiding plate 22 is strip-shaped, 5mm to 10mm away from the upper and lower shell surfaces of the manifold 3, and forms a certain angle with the vapor-liquid two-phase inlet 20, generally 35° to 75°. The second connection method is that the steam chamber 4 and the connecting chamber 5 are parallel to the manifold 3, and the connecting chamber 5 needs to be lower than the steam chamber 4. In this case, the flow guiding plate 22 is perpendicular to the vapor-liquid two-phase inlet 20.
[0055] The core module of the high-performance gas-liquid two-phase heat exchange radiator of the present invention is a phase change substrate 1, such as... Figures 6-9 As shown, the condensate return inlet 26 of the phase change substrate 1 is used to communicate with the heat exchange zone communication chamber 5 through the condensate return pipe 8. The phase change substrate 1 also includes a phase change shell 10, a structural reinforcing column 11, a structural support step 12, a welding part 13, a capillary structure 14, a structural locking hole column 15, and a structural cover plate 16. The two short sides and one long side of the phase change shell 10 are provided with a structural support step 12 perpendicularly. The structural reinforcing column 11 is arranged on the inner surface of the phase change shell 10. The capillary structure 14 is a sintered aluminum or aluminum alloy powder capillary structure with a thickness of 0.5mm to 5mm. The structural cover plate 16 is welded to the top of the welding part 13. The cavity with one open end is the phase change substrate vapor-liquid two-phase outlet 17.
[0056] like Figures 7-9 As shown, the welding portion 13 and capillary structure 14 of the phase change substrate 1 in this invention have two implementations: the welding portion 13 can be formed by the step surface of the structural support step 12 and the upper bottom surface of the structural reinforcing column 11, or it can be formed by the step surface and the welding column 18 extending from the structural reinforcing column 11. The capillary structure 14 can be layered or three-dimensional. When it is layered, the capillary structure 14 can be sintered on the inner surface of the phase change shell 10 and the upper bottom surface of the structural reinforcing column 11, or sintered separately on the inner surface of the phase change shell 10; when the capillary structure 14 is three-dimensional, it is sintered on the inner surface of the phase change shell 10 and the outer surface of the structural reinforcing column 11.
[0057] The capillary structure 14 is a connected small capillary hole, which greatly improves the vapor bubble generation vaporization core, reduces the boiling vaporization superheat, greatly improves the boiling heat transfer coefficient, and the heat transfer coefficient is 2x105 W / m2.K-3.5x106 W / m2.K, which is much larger than the heat transfer coefficient of the convection heat transfer, and better meets the high-power heat exchange and high heat flux density heat exchange demand, and because the inner surface of the phase change substrate 1 is sintered with the capillary structure 14, the superheat of the phase change working medium boiling vaporization is effectively reduced, the surface temperature of the phase change substrate 1 can be better reduced, and the working temperature of the high-power semiconductor device can be better controlled.
[0058] As shown in Figure 10 The heat exchanger 2 includes heat exchange fins 23, phase change flat tubes 24, and condensation inner fins 25. According to different condensation requirements, the condensation inner fins 25 can be selected to have a straight tooth structure or a staggered tooth structure. When the condensation inner fins 25 have an inner tooth structure, the condensation can be dispersed, the liquid film thickness can be reduced, the heat transfer coefficient of the vapor-liquid two-phase working medium and the phase change flat tube heat exchange can be increased, and the condensation heat transfer effect can be strengthened. The vapor-liquid two-phase fluid latent heat and sensible heat condensation has a good improvement effect.
[0059] The operation principle of the high-performance gas-liquid two-phase heat exchange radiator of the present application is that the high-power semiconductor device is locked on the phase change substrate 1, and the heat loss generated during the operation of the device is transmitted to the surface of the phase change substrate 1, and then transmitted to the inner surface of the phase change substrate 1 through the phase change shell 10 of the phase change substrate. The heat is transmitted to the capillary structure 14 and the inner surface of the phase change shell 10 through heat conduction, so that heat exchange occurs between the heat and the phase change working medium. The phase change working medium absorbs heat to generate vapor bubbles, and changes from a liquid state to a vapor state through boiling heat exchange and phase change. The vapor-liquid two-phase phase change working medium is transmitted upward along the sealed cavity, and then flows into the steam chamber 4 along the steam delivery pipe 6 after being converged in the converging chamber 3, and then is transmitted into each phase change flat tube 24. The phase change steam flows to the distal end along the phase change flat tube 24, and in this process, heat is transmitted to the outer wall of the phase change flat tube 24 and then to the heat exchange fins 23. The latent heat and sensible heat of the air flowing through the heat exchange fins 23 and the outer wall of the phase change flat tube 24 are exchanged. The phase change working medium in the cavity of the heat exchanger 2 is condensed into a liquid state, and then flows back to the phase change substrate 1 through the communication pipe 7 and the condensation return pipe 8. The air flowing outside the heat exchanger forms a temperature rise, and the heat is taken out of the system.

[0063] The outer shape of the phase change shell 10 is processed by NC processing of die casting or cold forging, hot forging, and the structural cover plate 16 is welded on the phase change shell 10 by the welding sealing process through the welding part 13, forming a phase change substrate 1 with one end opening as a cavity;
