Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of energy-saving control technology for communication equipment rooms, and more specifically, to a system and method for reducing energy consumption in equipment rooms, and a non-volatile storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] As a new type of mobile communication network, 5G has advantages over 4G, such as higher speed, lower latency, and larger capacity, and is gradually changing society to realize the Internet of Things. Because of its huge demand in IoT applications such as mobile healthcare, connected vehicles, smart homes, and industrial control, 5G has been included in the national new infrastructure initiative.

[0003] While 5G brings enormous economic and social benefits, it also has its shortcomings. High speed means high power consumption, requiring higher frequencies to carry more data per unit time and more powerful hardware to process massive amounts of data, thus supporting more powerful equipment. Compared to 4G data centers, it generates significantly more heat, necessitating additional cooling equipment to ensure normal operation. Currently, 5G consumes 4 to 5 times more energy than 4G. Manufacturers are optimizing hardware design to reduce 5G base station energy consumption, but the energy consumption issue remains prominent, accounting for 70% of operators' electricity costs.

[0004] To reduce energy consumption in 5G data centers and thus lower operating costs, solutions have been proposed in related technologies:

[0005] 5G equipment manufacturers optimize hardware design by selecting low-power components, thereby reducing energy consumption at its source and achieving a low-carbon economy. Secondly, to ensure the normal operation of the equipment, 5G data centers need to use temperature and humidity control systems to ensure that the equipment operates within a suitable temperature and humidity range.

[0006] Figure 1a This diagram illustrates an existing data center temperature and humidity system. The system utilizes an air conditioning system to cool the entire indoor space. Cooling within the server racks occurs in two ways: First, the air conditioning system uses a strong airflow to blow air through the ventilation holes in the server casing, cooling the equipment. The drawback of this method is that areas without ventilation holes within the rack become hot zones, shortening equipment lifespan and reducing safety. Second, heat generated by the equipment radiates outwards to the outside of the rack, where it is then cooled by the air conditioning system. The disadvantage of this method is that air has poor thermal conductivity, leaving a large amount of heat trapped inside the rack. Both cooling methods rely on the air conditioning system to lower the overall ambient temperature, which in turn indirectly lowers the equipment temperature. Furthermore, the temperature control system built into the air conditioning system cannot accurately reflect the temperature of the hardware. Additionally, the airflow from the air conditioning system creates circulation between the indoor air and the air inside the equipment. This approach consumes a large amount of electricity, resulting in wasted energy and low cooling efficiency.

[0007] Figure 1bThis is a schematic diagram of another existing data center temperature and humidity system. This system, equipped with fans and ventilation ducts, removes heat generated by the equipment inside the server racks to the external space, thus controlling the temperature of the equipment inside the racks and eliminating high-temperature zones. However, this method also has some drawbacks. The fans dissipate the heat generated by the equipment inside the racks into the indoor space through ventilation holes, and then the air conditioning system lowers the indoor temperature, ultimately cooling in a similar way to the first solution. First, the cost of building the fans and ventilation ducts is too high. Second, this method relies on the air conditioning system for cooling. Finally, this method can easily cause air circulation between the indoor air and the air inside the equipment. Therefore, this solution consumes a large amount of electricity and increases construction costs, leading to higher overall operating costs.

[0008] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0032] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a system for reducing data center energy consumption according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the system includes: a liquid cooling system 200, an air conditioning system 201, a first fan 202, an air duct 203, a side honeycomb panel 204, a bottom honeycomb panel 205, a one-way panel 206, a wind deflector 207, and a cabinet 208.

[0033] The liquid cooling system 200 is connected to the air duct channel 203 and is configured to cool the hot air at the air outlet of the air duct channel 203 and send the cooled air into the air inlet of the air duct channel 203.

[0034] The liquid cooling system 200 is used to increase the contact area between air and water by passing hot air from the air outlet of the air duct channel 203 through the branch pipe, thereby reducing the temperature of the air.

[0035] Air conditioning system 201 is set to regulate the environment where the equipment is located within a preset temperature and humidity range.

[0036] The air conditioning system 201 is used to control the equipment in the computer room to be within a suitable temperature and humidity range. It is used in conjunction with the liquid cooling system 200, which converts hot air into cold air and then supplies it to the air conditioning system 201.

[0037] The first fan 202 is located below the air conditioning system 201 and at the air inlet of the air duct 203. It is configured to send the cold air generated by the air conditioning system 201 and the cold air cooled by the liquid cooling system 200 into the interior of the equipment.

[0038] The first fan 202 is located below the air conditioning system 201 and at one end of the air duct 203, and is used to blow cold air into the equipment.

[0039] Rack 208 is designed to house the equipment;

[0040] Duct 203 is connected to cabinet 208 and is configured to allow air to enter and exit cabinet 208.

[0041] Side honeycomb panel 204, bottom honeycomb panel 205, one-way panel 206 and wind baffle 207 are respectively installed inside the cabinet 208. The side honeycomb panel 204 and bottom honeycomb panel 205 are respectively configured to control the air intake of the side and bottom of the cabinet 208; the one-way panel 206 is configured to guide the one-way air intake of the cabinet 208; the wind baffle 207 is configured to isolate the air intake channel and exhaust channel of the air duct channel 203.

[0042] The cabinet 208 includes a side honeycomb panel 204, a bottom honeycomb panel 205, a one-way panel 206, and a baffle plate 207. The side honeycomb panels 204 inside the cabinet 208 provide ventilation from low to high, while the air velocity decreases from high to low. The bottom honeycomb panel 205 controls the bottom air intake. The one-way panel 206 inside the cabinet 208 ensures unidirectional airflow without backflow. The baffle plate 207 inside the cabinet 208 isolates the air intake duct from the exhaust duct.

[0043] By adding liquid cooling systems, optimizing ventilation duct structure design and temperature and humidity control systems, the technical effects of reducing energy consumption and improving resource utilization efficiency in 5G data centers have been achieved.

[0044] In some optional embodiments of this application, the air duct 203 includes an air inlet duct and an air outlet duct, wherein the air inlet duct is located in a shaded area and is configured to allow air to enter; the air outlet duct is configured to allow air to exit.

[0045] The air intake duct is installed on the shaded side. The air temperature is lower when the air intake is installed on the shaded side compared to the sunny side, which can effectively reduce energy consumption.

[0046] According to some alternative embodiments of this application, the duct channel 203, the side honeycomb panel 204 and the bottom honeycomb panel 205 constitute a one-way air inlet channel; the duct channel 203 and the one-way panel 206 constitute a one-way air outlet channel; and the baffle plate 207 is disposed between the one-way air inlet channel and the one-way air outlet channel.

[0047] In the embodiments of this application, the duct channel 203, the side honeycomb panel 204, and the bottom honeycomb panel 205 form a one-way air inlet duct, and the duct channel 203 and the one-way panel 206 form a one-way air outlet duct. A baffle plate 207 is placed between the one-way air inlet duct and the one-way air outlet duct to prevent cold air in the air inlet duct from being directly discharged without passing through the equipment, or hot air in the exhaust duct from flowing back into the air inlet duct, thus avoiding waste of power resources. This "L-shaped" one-way air inlet and outlet duct structure layout avoids air circulation within the equipment.

[0048] According to some optional embodiments of this application, the side honeycomb panel 204 and the bottom honeycomb panel 205 are respectively configured to control the air intake speed of the side and bottom of the cabinet by adjusting the number of honeycomb holes on the side honeycomb panel and the bottom honeycomb panel; wherein, along the airflow direction, the air intake volume of the side honeycomb panel and the bottom honeycomb panel increases sequentially and the air speed decreases sequentially.

[0049] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a side honeycomb panel and a bottom honeycomb panel according to an embodiment of this application. The air intake duct allows air to enter from the bottom and blow upwards through the bottom honeycomb panel 205. Because the heat generated by the equipment has a low heat density, it accumulates at the top of the cabinet 208. Therefore, the duct is designed with bottom air intake, and the airflow velocity can be controlled by adjusting the number of honeycombs. The air intake duct also allows air to enter from the side through the side honeycomb panel 204. Because some of the air blown in through the bottom honeycomb panel 205 is blocked by the equipment, heat cannot be expelled from the gaps inside the equipment. Therefore, the duct is designed with side air intake, with the airflow increasing from bottom to top and the airflow velocity decreasing sequentially, thus achieving heat removal from the top of the cabinet.

[0050] As some optional embodiments of this application, the one-way panel 206 is configured to control the one-way air intake of the cabinet 208 via a Tesla valve.

[0051] The unidirectional panel 206 utilizes the Tesla valve effect, a special valve that requires no power and has no switch, yet allows for unidirectional gas flow. Simply put, it acts as a pressurization chamber, continuously injecting high-speed gas in the forward direction. Since the chamber's volume is larger than the end pipe diameter, the gas is accelerated and ejected. Conversely, gas injected in the reverse direction encounters spontaneously generated resistance and cannot pass through the Tesla valve normally. Hot air inside the rack 208 is spontaneously discharged outward through the unidirectional panel 206, while hot air in the exhaust duct cannot flow back into the equipment through the unidirectional panel 206; it can only be discharged to the outlet duct. This duct design differs from the traditional method of dissipating equipment heat into the room and then through the air conditioning system, significantly reducing the data center's power consumption, lowering overall operating costs, and achieving a green and low-carbon economy.

[0052] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a one-way panel according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the one-way valve utilizes the Tesla valve effect. It's a special valve without a switch, yet it allows for unidirectional gas flow. Simply put, it acts as a pressurization chamber. When high-speed gas is continuously injected in the forward direction, and the chamber's volume is larger than the end pipe diameter, the gas is accelerated and ejected. Conversely, when gas is injected in the reverse direction, it encounters spontaneously generated resistance and cannot pass through the Tesla valve normally.

[0053] refer to Figure 2 The system for reducing equipment energy consumption also includes: an air exchange valve 209, which is installed in the air duct 203 and is designed to open in the event of a failure of one air conditioning system, so as to enable the redundant air conditioning system to provide cold air to the air duct.

[0054] The ventilation valve 209 is used for redundant backup of the air conditioning system on the same floor. When a certain air conditioning system fails, the ventilation valve 209 opens and the redundant air conditioning system supplies cold air to prevent the equipment from going offline due to high temperature.

[0055] As some optional embodiments of this application, the liquid cooling system 200 includes: a cavity structure configured to contain a cooling medium; and a branch pipe immersed in the cooling medium, configured to increase the contact area between the hot air and the cooling medium at the air outlet of the duct channel.

[0056] In some other optional embodiments of this application, the system for reducing equipment energy consumption further includes: a second fan and a third fan, wherein the second fan is disposed between the air outlet of the duct channel and the liquid cooling system, and is configured to send hot air from the air outlet of the duct channel into the liquid cooling system; the third fan is disposed between the liquid cooling system and the air inlet of the duct channel, and is configured to send cold air cooled by the liquid cooling system into the air inlet.

[0057] The air outlet duct collects hot air from the air outlets on each floor. Utilizing the low density of hot air and the chimney effect, the hot air is drawn to the roof. A fan (the second fan mentioned above) then blows the hot air into branch pipes submerged in water within a water tower (the aforementioned cavity structure). The branch pipes increase the contact area between the hot air and the water, thus more effectively reducing the air temperature. The air inlet duct collects cold air from the branch pipes and utilizes a fan (the third fan mentioned above) and the high density of cold air to deliver the cold air to the air inlets on each floor.

[0058] According to some optional embodiments of this application, the cavity structure is also configured to automatically replace the cooling medium at preset time intervals to maintain the temperature of the cooling medium within a preset temperature range. The water tower automatically replaces water at regular intervals to maintain a constant water temperature.

[0059] See Figure 2 The system for reducing equipment energy consumption also includes: a temperature and humidity sensor 210 and a terminal device 211. The temperature and humidity sensor 210 is installed at the exhaust vent inside the cabinet 208 and is configured to collect the temperature and humidity information of the equipment and send the collected temperature and humidity information to the terminal device 211. The terminal device 211 is configured to adjust the air intake volume of the cold air in the air duct channel 203 according to the temperature and humidity information.

[0060] Temperature and humidity sensor 210 is installed at the exhaust vent inside cabinet 208 to collect real-time temperature and humidity data of the equipment. Terminal device 211 obtains the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet in real time through control logic, and adjusts the fan and controls the air intake based on the temperature and humidity.

[0061] It is understood that the technical solution provided in this application is not only applicable to the control of energy consumption reduction in 5G data centers, but also to the control of energy consumption reduction in A, B, C, and D class data centers, as well as short-term emergency cooling of data centers, such as cloud data centers, server data centers, core data centers, data centers, and power outages.

[0062] The technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0063] (1) The technical solution provided in this application, based on the designed "L-shaped" ventilation structure, one-way panel, and air exchange door, offers a structural design for reducing energy consumption in 5G equipment rooms. This design includes: an air conditioning system, a fan, ductwork, side honeycomb panels, bottom honeycomb panels, one-way panels, a baffle plate, a temperature and humidity sensor, a cabinet, mobile equipment, and an air exchange door. The "L-shaped" ventilation structure avoids hot air circulation inside the equipment, and the one-way panel ensures unidirectional airflow to prevent hot air recirculation, achieving overall unidirectional airflow and maximizing the use of cool air. Secondly, this structural design directly exhausts hot air to the exhaust duct, rather than the traditional method of exhausting hot air indoors and then expelling the heat outdoors through the air conditioning system. This avoids interference from hot air to other equipment and prevents the air conditioning system from increasing its power output for cooling, thus reducing energy consumption. Finally, the air exchange door acts as a redundant backup switch for the air conditioning system. When one air conditioning system fails, the air exchange door opens to deliver cool air, ensuring normal equipment operation. This structural design maximizes the reduction of energy consumption in the equipment room, thereby reducing operating costs and achieving a green and low-carbon economy.

[0064] (2) The liquid cooling system designed in this application includes: an air inlet duct, an air outlet duct, a fan, a water tower, and branch pipes. The liquid cooling system utilizes the high specific heat capacity of water and the increased contact area of ​​the branch pipes to reduce the temperature of the air. Secondly, hot air is transported to the rooftop using the chimney effect and low air density. Cold air is transported to the air inlets on each floor using the fan and the high air density. Finally, the air inlets are installed on the shaded side of the building, as the shaded side is cooler than the sunlit side, further reducing the energy consumption of the computer room. This liquid cooling system maximizes the reduction of energy consumption in the computer room, thereby reducing operating costs and achieving a green and low-carbon economy.

[0065] (3) The control method designed in the technical solution provided in this application includes: a fan module, a data acquisition module, a computing module, a networking module, a mobile device, a control module, and a judgment module. The mobile device can be carried around, and the temperature and humidity of the computer room can be acquired at any time through the device's networking module. Secondly, different thresholds can be set according to the characteristics of different seasons through the mobile device to avoid energy waste. Finally, when the temperature and humidity of the computer room exceed the threshold, an alarm message will be automatically sent, and the air intake of the corresponding fan will be adjusted according to the sensor position instead of increasing the fan speed of all fans, which can maximize the utilization of the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system and reduce energy consumption.

[0066] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a method for reducing data center energy consumption according to an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to the system for reducing equipment energy consumption in any of the above embodiments and includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S502: Obtain the temperature and humidity information of the device. The temperature and humidity information is collected by a temperature and humidity sensor, which is located at the exhaust vent inside the cabinet where the device is located.

[0068] Step S504: Calculate the radiant energy based on the temperature value in the temperature and humidity information.

[0069] Step S506: Compare the radiation energy and heat thresholds, as well as the humidity value and humidity threshold in the temperature and humidity information.

[0070] Step S508: When the radiation energy is greater than or equal to the heat threshold, or the humidity value is greater than or equal to the humidity threshold, the location information of the temperature and humidity sensor is obtained, and the rotation speed of the first fan is adjusted according to the location information of the temperature and humidity sensor to increase the intake volume of cold air used to cool the equipment.

[0071] As some optional embodiments of this application, the mobile device can customize the heat threshold or humidity threshold according to the different characteristics of the four seasons, and supports remotely sending commands to the control module to adjust the fan speed.

[0072] The mobile device can also display the actual temperature and humidity of the equipment in real time, and will send an alarm signal to the mobile device when the temperature and humidity of the equipment exceed the preset threshold, thereby reminding maintenance personnel.

[0073] As mentioned above, terminal device 211 obtains the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet in real time through control logic, and adjusts the fan according to the temperature and humidity to control the air intake.

[0074] In the embodiments of this application, the control logic includes a fan module, a data acquisition module, a computing module, a networking module, a mobile device, a control module, and a judgment module. The system comprises the following modules: a fan module for adjusting the airflow rate of the unidirectional air intake duct; a data acquisition module for real-time data acquisition of temperature and humidity at the equipment's exhaust vent and transmitting the collected data; a calculation module for receiving data from the acquisition module, calculating radiant energy based on the real-time ambient temperature data, and transmitting radiant energy and humidity data; a judgment module for receiving the calculated radiant energy and humidity data and determining whether to increase the airflow rate of the unidirectional air intake duct based on the magnitude of the radiant energy and humidity compared to preset heat and humidity thresholds: if the radiant energy or humidity is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the airflow rate of the unidirectional air intake duct needs to be increased; a sensor location information for radiant energy or humidity greater than or equal to the preset threshold is acquired and transmitted; a control module for receiving sensor location information and adjusting the corresponding motor speed based on the sensor location information to control the airflow rate of the unidirectional air intake duct; a networking module for receiving the calculated temperature and humidity and judgment information, receiving sensor location information when the temperature and humidity are abnormal, and transmitting the data to the internet; and a mobile device for receiving network data for display and supporting the sending of control commands. When determining whether to increase the airflow in a unidirectional air intake duct, using thermal radiation as the standard is more accurate than using temperature. Adjusting the airflow based on sensor location information makes cooling more targeted and effective. Depending on the season, changing thresholds or adjusting the normal airflow of fans via mobile devices can more effectively control data center energy consumption. These different measures collectively reduce operating costs and achieve a green, low-carbon economy.

[0075] This application also provides a non-volatile storage medium storing a program, wherein the program, when running, controls the device where the non-volatile storage medium is located to execute the above-mentioned method for reducing data center energy consumption.

[0076] The aforementioned non-volatile storage medium is used to store a program that performs the following functions: acquiring temperature and humidity information of the device, wherein the temperature and humidity information is collected by a temperature and humidity sensor located at the exhaust vent inside the cabinet where the device is located; calculating radiant energy based on the temperature value in the temperature and humidity information; comparing the radiant energy with a heat threshold, and comparing the humidity value in the temperature and humidity information with a humidity threshold; when the radiant energy is greater than or equal to the heat threshold, or the humidity value is greater than or equal to the humidity threshold, acquiring the location information of the temperature and humidity sensor, and adjusting the speed of the first fan according to the location information of the temperature and humidity sensor to increase the intake volume of cold air used to cool the device.
