Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liquid-cooled data center piping system, and particularly relates to a quick flushing method of liquid-cooled data center piping system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The refrigeration system of the liquid-cooled data center comprises a primary side (cooling water circulation) and a secondary side (cooling liquid circulation), wherein the secondary side is responsible for transferring heat from the heat source (CPU, GPU, etc.) to the cooling liquid, the primary side is responsible for transferring heat from the cooling water to the external environment, and the cold distribution unit (CDU) is responsible for transferring heat in the cooling liquid of the secondary side to the cooling water of the primary side.

[0003] Generally, after the construction of the refrigeration system of the liquid-cooled data center is completed, there are relatively many sundries in the pipeline. First, the inner wall cleaning work is not done well before the pipeline is installed, and iron rust, soil and other sundries are left in the pipeline. Second, the pipeline is usually connected by welding, so there are many welding slag and metal particles in the pipeline. Based on the above reasons, the quick flushing of the liquid-cooled data center piping system is very important. If the flushing of the pipeline is ignored, the refrigeration effect of the system will be reduced, and the equipment will be destroyed.

[0004] At present, the existing technical solution is that the central air conditioner and the air-cooled data center adopt a closed recirculation flushing method to flush the water pipeline of the refrigeration system, that is, the pipeline system is filled with water, the connection between the pipeline and the equipment is cut off, the water pump is used to circulate the water in the pipeline, and the necessary flushing flow rate is reached. The system pipeline is subjected to multiple cycle flushing and sewage discharge operations until the pipeline meets the flushing quality requirements.

[0005] The disadvantages of the prior art are that the above-mentioned closed recirculation pipeline flushing scheme adopts one-way system flushing, that is, the water flow is always in the same direction during the flushing process. When the pipeline is flushed using the above-mentioned scheme, slow or stationary pressure balance areas are easily formed in the pipeline. The slow or stationary water flow in the areas easily causes incomplete flushing of some pipeline sections. In addition, the above-mentioned closed recirculation pipeline flushing scheme is currently only used for flushing the water pipeline of the central air conditioner and the air-cooled data center. In recent years, the liquid-cooled data center has realized large-scale commercial use. The cooling liquid of the secondary side is closer to the server, and even directly contacts the server, so the cleanliness of the system pipeline is required to be higher. At present, there is no mature scheme for flushing the pipeline of the liquid-cooled data center air conditioning system.

[0006] Based on this, a quick flushing method of liquid-cooled data center piping system is proposed. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, provide a quick flushing method for liquid-cooled data center pipeline system, and ensure that all pipelines are fully flushed without leaving any blind area by periodically changing the flushing water flow direction during the flushing process, thereby improving the pipeline system flushing quality and ensuring the safe operation of the liquid-cooled data center.
