Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coolant purification technology, and in particular to a coolant purification resin, a purification resin column, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of information and communication technology, the power consumption per data center rack is gradually increasing. Traditional air-cooled air conditioners can cause different heat-generating components to become either "overcooled" or "overheated." This method, which cannot achieve precise cooling of heat-generating components, can only reduce the temperature of "overheated" components by increasing the cooling capacity of the server room air conditioner or lowering the supply air temperature, but this leads to excessive energy waste. Liquid cooling technology is gradually becoming a green, energy-saving, and low-carbon cooling technology for data centers. Liquid cooling technology directly cools the equipment with liquid, carrying away the heat generated by the heat-generating components directly.

[0003] Liquid cooling technologies include cold plate type, immersion type, and spray type. Cold plate type liquid cooling uses coolant flowing in a cold plate for non-contact heat dissipation. It requires minimal modification to existing server chip components and accessories, and is currently one of the earliest and most mature liquid cooling solutions.

[0004] The cold plate is a core component that contacts the chip for heat exchange. The coolant flows internally, carrying away heat from the chip. The coolant, having absorbed heat, enters the evaporator / condenser to release the heat. The cooled coolant then returns to the cold plate to absorb heat, and this process repeats. Cold plates are typically made of highly thermally conductive materials such as copper or aluminum. During circulation and replenishment, bacterial metabolic byproducts, including acidic substances and slime, cause the coolant to become slightly acidic, containing oxygen. This corrodes pipes and the cold plate, releasing metal ions. The recirculated coolant also produces solid particles that deposit and form scale, clogging pipes and the cold plate, reducing heat transfer efficiency. Furthermore, under-deposit corrosion can cause perforation of the cold plate, leading to coolant leakage and potentially short circuits and damage to electronic components.

[0005] To avoid this problem, the circulating coolant usually needs to be treated, such as by adding corrosion inhibitors and bactericides. However, this can lead to an increase in the conductivity of the coolant, which can cause adverse consequences. A mixed resin composed of hydrogen-form cation exchange resin and hydroxyl-form anion exchange resin is usually used to purify the coolant. The resin removes impurities in the coolant through ion exchange. The pH of the water treated by the mixed bed resin is 6.5~7. Under these weakly acidic conditions, pipes and cold plates may be at risk of corrosion.

[0006] Coolant is the heat transfer medium in the cooling system. Coolant contains dissolved oxygen, impurity ions, bacteria and other substances, which can corrode the circulating pipes and cold plates. Using hydrogen-form cation resin and hydrogen-oxygen anion resin to purify the coolant has certain problems in use.

[0007] 1. The purified coolant has a weakly acidic pH, which can cause corrosion to pipes and cold plates.

[0008] 2. Dissolved oxygen in the coolant cannot be removed, and dissolved oxygen in the coolant will lead to accelerated corrosion.

[0009] 3. Bacteria in the coolant cannot be removed. The metabolic products of bacteria contain various acids, which lower the pH of the coolant and cause corrosion of pipes and cold plates. In addition, bacterial communities form slime and scale, which clogs pipes and cold plates, resulting in a decrease in heat transfer efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0043] Preferably, the application includes the following steps: passing the coolant from bottom to top through a purification resin column at a flow rate of 500 L / h.

[0044] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0045] This invention solves the problem of short-circuit damage to electronic components caused by corrosion of pipes and cold plates due to dissolved oxygen, impurity ions, and bacteria in the coolant of data center cooling systems. By using coolant purification resin, dissolved oxygen, bacteria, and impurity ions are first removed from the newly added cooling fluid. Additionally, trace impurity ions generated during the coolant's circulating heat transfer process are removed, reducing the cooling fluid's conductivity to below 2µs / cm. This prevents corrosion of equipment pipes and electrical conduction from damaging electronic components.

[0046] Applications of coolant purification resin:

[0047] In a cold plate liquid cooling system for data centers, the coolant flows through circulation pipes to carry away the heat from the chips. The coolant, having absorbed the heat, enters an evaporator-condenser to release the heat. The cooled coolant then returns to the cold plate to absorb heat, and this process repeats.

[0048] The purification process for coolant involves filling a resin column with purifying resin. As the coolant passes through the resin column, impurities are removed through adsorption and exchange, thus achieving purification.

[0049] The resin is filled into the resin column, and the resin column is cleaned with pure water. The pH-adjusting resin is filled at the bottom of the resin column, followed by the desalination resin. Then, the bactericidal resin is added on top of the desalination resin, and finally, the deoxygenating resin is filled on the top layer. Using one resin column, it can simultaneously perform the functions of deoxygenation, sterilization, desalination, and pH adjustment, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the coolant.

[0050] The circulating coolant and the replenished fresh coolant pass through a resin column. First, they pass through a deoxygenating resin, where dissolved oxygen in the coolant reacts with sulfite ions on the deoxygenating resin in a redox reaction, converting sulfite ions into sulfate ions that remain bound to the resin. This process removes oxygen without introducing new impurities. Next, they pass through a bactericidal resin, where bacteria in the cooling fluid are killed by silver or iodine elements on the bactericidal resin. The dead bacteria are then adsorbed and retained by the desalination resin, preventing them from entering the circulation system. Finally, the coolant passes through a desalination resin, where chemical exchange removes impurity cations and anions from the cooling fluid onto the resin, producing water. This process does not introduce new impurities that could cause secondary pollution to the cooling fluid. Attached Figure Description
