[0041] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings show representative embodiments of the present application and do not limit the present application.
[0042] With the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, data centers need better heat dissipation. Figure 1As shown, the present application provides an integrated heat exchange unit 100 for heat dissipation in a data center. In particular, the integrated heat exchange unit 100 can adjust the temperature of the servers in the cabinets of the data center. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 can ensure that the data center operates all day without shutting down. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 can be used in a cold plate liquid cooling system. The cold plate liquid cooling system can cool down the main heat-generating components in the server through the flow of heat exchange medium. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 evenly distributes the heat exchange medium to the server, achieving efficient heat dissipation and ensuring the stable operation of the data center equipment.
[0043] The integrated heat exchange unit 100 includes at least one heat exchange mechanism 120 and at least one power mechanism 130, and the at least one power mechanism 130 is used to drive the heat exchange medium flowing to the at least one heat exchange mechanism 120. The power mechanism 130 includes a pump component, and the pump component can drive the heat exchange medium to flow. The pump component can be configured as a circulating water pump. The cabinet includes a server and a heat dissipation mechanism, and the heat dissipation mechanism is used to adjust the temperature of the server. The heat dissipation mechanism can be configured as a cold plate. A heating element, such as an electronic element, is provided in the server. A plurality of heat dissipation mechanisms can be provided in the server, and the plurality of heat dissipation mechanisms can dissipate heat together. The heat dissipation mechanism can adjust the temperature of the heating element. For example, the heat dissipation mechanism can reduce the temperature of the heating element and play a heat dissipation role. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 can adjust the temperature of the heat exchange medium of the heat dissipation mechanism.
[0044] The cabinet also includes a water distributor, which is used to distribute the heat exchange medium. The heat exchange medium discharged from the integrated heat exchange unit 100 flows to the heat dissipation mechanism through the water distributor. The heat exchange medium discharged from the heat dissipation mechanism then flows back to the integrated heat exchange unit 100 through the water collector.
[0045] The integrated heat exchange unit 100 is provided with a first heat exchange medium, and the first heat exchange medium exchanges heat with an external cold source. The first heat exchange medium may be a coolant. The external cold source may be, for example, a cooling tower, a dry cooler, etc. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 can transfer the coldness of the external cold source to the cabinet, and then dissipate the heat of the electronic equipment (such as a heating element) through the liquid cooling cabinet. The external cold source can take away the heat of the first heat exchange medium to reduce the temperature of the first heat exchange medium.
[0046] A second heat exchange medium is provided in the heat dissipation mechanism, and the heat of the heating element is taken away by the flowing second heat exchange medium, and heat exchange is realized in the process of flowing. The second heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the heating element. The first heat exchange medium from the integrated heat exchange unit 100 can also exchange heat with the second heat exchange medium in the heat dissipation mechanism. The first heat exchange medium can adjust the temperature of the second heat exchange medium. Preferably, the temperature of the first heat exchange medium in the heat dissipation mechanism is lower than the temperature of the second heat exchange medium, and the second heat exchange medium can dissipate heat in the heat dissipation mechanism to reduce the temperature. The second heat exchange medium after the temperature is reduced flows to the cold plate in the server of the cabinet. The second heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the heating element in the cold plate, takes away the heat of the heating element, and reduces the temperature of the heating element.
[0047] The primary coolant and the secondary coolant exchange heat in the integrated heat exchange unit. The secondary coolant releases heat, and the primary coolant absorbs heat. The temperature of the primary coolant rises. After the coolant is discharged from the integrated heat exchange unit, there will be a primary ring network. The primary coolant connects the heat dissipation mechanism installed in the machine room and the outdoor heat exchange unit installed outdoors. The primary coolant will flow along the primary ring network into the outdoor heat exchange unit (outdoor cold source) for heat exchange, dissipating the heat to the outdoor environment.
[0048] The integrated heat exchange unit 100 is constructed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 includes a cabinet 110, and the cabinet 110 is constructed to be hollow. The cabinet 110 is an external box. The cabinet 110 can be constructed as a hexahedron structure. Preferably, the cabinet 110 is constructed as a hollow rectangular parallelepiped structure. As a result, the cabinet 110 can provide a protective function for each mechanism. The cabinet 110 includes a waterway inlet and a waterway outlet, and the heat exchange medium enters the cabinet through the waterway inlet, and the heat exchange medium in the cabinet is discharged through the waterway outlet. The installation position of each mechanism is reserved in the cabinet 110, and the pipeline position is reasonably arranged.
[0049] As an optional embodiment, the heat exchange mechanism 120 can be configured as an integrated module. The power mechanism 130 can be configured as an integrated module. The various heat exchange components in the heat exchange mechanism 120 are integrated together. The various power components in the power mechanism 130 are integrated together. The operator can directly remove the heat exchange mechanism 120 or the power mechanism 130 without being affected by other pipelines or components, which is convenient for maintenance. When the drive mechanism is set as a module unit, it can be divided into a manual insertion mode and a blind insertion mode, and the pump component, the pipeline components required for the pump component, the valves related to the pump component, and the related equipment required for the pump component are integrated into one component. A single pump component is integrated in a module, and a circulating pump component, a pump component-related waterway, a valve, and other related components are integrated in the drive mechanism, and a waterway interface, a circuit interface, and a signal interface are left on the outside of the module. When a pump component needs to be installed in the system, the drive mechanism is installed in the integrated heat exchange unit 100. The reserved pump component is connected to the space of the cabinet 110, and then the pump component waterway interface, the circuit interface, and the signal interface are connected. The pump component can be inserted into the cabinet 110 by manual insertion or blind insertion.
[0050] Of course, the heat exchange mechanism 120 can also be arranged in a non-integrated manner, and a space for installing the heat exchange mechanism 120 can be reserved in the cabinet 110. The power mechanism 130 can also be arranged in a non-integrated manner, and a space for installing the power mechanism 130 can be reserved in the cabinet 110.
[0051] Further, at least one heat exchange mechanism 120 can be detachably installed in the cabinet 110. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 includes one or at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120. One heat exchange mechanism 120 can be detachably installed in the cabinet 110. At least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 can be detachably installed in the cabinet 110. At least one heat exchange mechanism 120 is connected to the water outlet. The outlets of at least one heat exchange mechanism 120 are connected to the water outlet. The heat exchange mechanism 120 is used to adjust the temperature of the heat dissipation mechanism. The heat exchange mechanism 120 includes a plate heat exchanger and a plate heat exchanger supporting component, and the first heat exchange medium can exchange heat with an external cold source in the heat exchange mechanism 120. The plate heat exchanger can be constructed as a small plate heat exchanger. Each component in the heat exchange mechanism 120 is constructed in a disassembled form. A space for convenient installation is reserved in the cabinet 110 to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the heat exchange mechanism 120. The first heat exchange medium discharged from at least one heat exchange mechanism 120 is discharged through the water outlet after being collected. The first heat exchange medium discharged from one heat exchange mechanism 120 is discharged through the water outlet after being collected. The first heat exchange medium discharged from at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 is discharged through the water outlet after being collected.
[0052] At least one power mechanism 130 is detachably mounted in the cabinet 110. The integrated power unit includes one or at least two power mechanisms 130. One power mechanism 130 is detachably mounted in the cabinet 110. At least two power mechanisms 130 are detachably mounted in the cabinet 110. The waterway inlet is in communication with at least one power mechanism 130. The waterway inlet is in communication with the inlet of at least one power mechanism 130. The first heat exchange medium from the waterway inlet flows to at least one power mechanism 130, respectively. The first heat exchange medium from the waterway inlet flows to one power mechanism 130. The first heat exchange medium from the waterway inlet flows to at least two power mechanisms 130. The first heat exchange medium from the waterway inlet flows to at least two power mechanisms 130, respectively, through different branches.
[0053] The power mechanism 130 is used to drive the heat exchange medium to flow to the heat exchange mechanism 120. At least one power mechanism 130 is used to drive the heat exchange medium to flow to at least one heat exchange mechanism 120. Each component in the power mechanism 130 is constructed in a disassembled form. A convenient installation space is reserved in the cabinet 110 to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the power mechanism 130.
[0054] The power mechanism 130 is used to drive the heat exchange medium to flow to the heat exchange mechanism 120. It is understandable that the heat exchange medium also flows to the cabinet and the server in the cabinet. The driving mechanism can drive the heat exchange medium to circulate in the system to ensure that the heat exchange and the medium can reach the equipment to be cooled. The driving mechanism can drive the first heat exchange medium to circulate in the system to ensure that the first heat exchange medium can reach the equipment to be cooled. The heat exchange medium can be a coolant. The first heat exchange medium enters the heat exchange mechanism 120 for heat exchange under the driving force of the power mechanism 130. The external cold source can take away the heat of the first heat exchange medium.
[0055] The power mechanism 130 drives the first heat exchange medium to flow according to actual conditions, so that the first heat exchange medium flows to the heat exchange mechanism 120. Multiple power mechanisms 130 are started according to different conditions, thereby driving the first heat exchange medium to flow respectively, so that the first heat exchange medium flows to the required heat exchange mechanism 120 respectively.
[0056] According to the integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application, it is used in a cabinet, the cabinet includes a server and a heat dissipation mechanism, the heat dissipation mechanism is used to adjust the temperature of the server, the integrated heat exchange unit 100 includes a cabinet 110, at least one heat exchange mechanism 120 and at least one power mechanism 130, the cabinet includes a waterway inlet and a waterway outlet, at least one heat exchange mechanism 120 can be detachably installed in the cabinet 110, the heat exchange mechanism 120 is used to adjust the temperature of the heat exchange medium of the heat dissipation mechanism, at least one heat exchange mechanism is connected to the waterway outlet, at least one power mechanism 130 can be detachably installed in the cabinet 110, the waterway inlet is connected to the at least one power mechanism, and at least one power mechanism 130 is used to drive the heat exchange medium flowing to the at least one heat exchange mechanism 120. In this way, the integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application reduces system cost, can achieve low backup, and the cooling capacity can be expanded, the adjustable range of the system cooling capacity is expanded, the cooling capacity is efficiently adjusted, and the cooling capacity range is large.
[0057] As an optional embodiment, the integrated heat exchange unit includes at least two heat exchange mechanisms and a power mechanism, and the power mechanism can drive the heat exchange medium flowing to the at least two heat exchange mechanisms respectively. The cabinet of the integrated heat exchange unit includes a waterway inlet, and the waterway inlet is connected to the power mechanism. The heat exchange medium from the waterway inlet flows into the power mechanism. The heat exchange medium discharged from the waterway inlet enters the power mechanism. The heat exchange medium discharged from the power mechanism enters the at least two heat exchange mechanisms respectively.
[0058] Optionally, a power mechanism 130 is located below at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 along the height direction of the cabinet 110. At least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 are arranged along the height direction of the cabinet 110. There are plural heat exchange mechanisms 120. At least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 are constructed as plural heat exchanger modules. This can achieve the purpose of expansion, easy disassembly and saving cooling capacity, and the number of installed heat exchange mechanisms 120 can be independently selected according to the cooling capacity allocation. A plurality of reserved spaces for installing plate heat exchanger modules are set in the integrated heat exchange unit 100, and a water channel interface connected to the water channel of the plate heat exchanger is reserved in the reserved space.
[0059] A fixing device is provided between the reserved space for the pump component and the reserved space for the heat exchange mechanism 120 in the integrated heat exchange unit 100, so that the installed power mechanism 130 and the heat exchange mechanism 120 can be fixed in the integrated heat exchange unit 100. The pipelines outside the reserved space are prefabricated in advance, and interfaces are reserved. When in use, a certain number of heat exchange mechanisms 120 and power mechanisms 130 can be installed as needed. The power mechanism can be installed at the four corners of the integrated heat exchange unit for easy installation and disassembly. After the integrated heat exchange unit is installed at the bottom, the power mechanism can also be stacked and installed in the height direction of the cabinet. The installation position of the power mechanism is not limited to the direction perpendicular to the height of the cabinet. When a water pump with a large amount of water needs to be installed, it can also be installed at intervals in the height direction.
[0060] As an optional implementation, at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 are connected in series. Thereby, the temperature range of the first heat exchange medium can be expanded. When at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 are connected in series, the water to be cooled in the prefabricated water pipe flows to at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 in turn for heat exchange. At least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 are connected in series. The first heat exchange medium flows through at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 in turn. The first heat exchange medium discharged from the last of the at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 connected in series flows to the waterway outlet. The first heat exchange medium is heat exchanged in at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 in turn, and then flows to the cabinet. The heat exchange medium in the prefabricated pipeline of the integrated heat exchange unit 100 passes through each heat exchange mechanism 120 in turn. At this time, a certain number of heat exchange mechanisms 120 can be installed according to demand to control the heat exchange amount.
[0061] For example, at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 include a first heat exchange mechanism and a second heat exchange mechanism, and the first heat exchange mechanism and the second heat exchange mechanism are connected in series. The first heat exchange mechanism is located upstream of the second heat exchange mechanism. The first heat exchange medium discharged from the first heat exchange mechanism has a first temperature. The first heat exchange medium with the first temperature enters the second heat exchange mechanism to continue heat exchange in the second heat exchange mechanism. The first heat exchange medium discharged from the second heat exchange mechanism has a second temperature. The first heat exchange medium with the second temperature can enter the heat dissipation mechanism under the action of the power mechanism 130, thereby adjusting the temperature of the heat dissipation mechanism. Of course, the number of heat exchange mechanisms 120 in series required for the integrated heat exchange unit 100 can be adjusted according to the temperature value of the heat exchange medium required by the heat dissipation mechanism, and the temperature range of the heat exchange medium is proportional to the number of heat exchange mechanisms 120.
[0062] One power mechanism 130 can drive the heat exchange medium to flow to at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 connected in series. At least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 are connected in series, and one power mechanism 130 can drive the first heat exchange medium in the series waterway to flow. The driving force of the power mechanism 130 can drive the first heat exchange medium to flow to at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 connected in series. Thus, the number of power mechanisms 130 is saved, and the cost is saved.
[0063] As another optional implementation, at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 can also be connected in parallel. When at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 are connected in parallel, the first heat exchange medium is respectively distributed to at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 for heat exchange. In this way, the temperature of the first heat exchange medium discharged from the heat exchange mechanism 120 can be made the same. The first heat exchange mediums respectively discharged from at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 can be aggregated and enter the water outlet. The first heat exchange medium uniformly discharged from the water outlet enters the cabinet through a water divider. For example, the first heat exchange medium uniformly discharged from the water outlet enters at least two cabinets respectively through a water divider.
[0064] For example, at least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 include a third heat exchange mechanism and a fourth heat exchange mechanism, and the third heat exchange mechanism and the fourth heat exchange mechanism are connected in parallel. The first heat exchange medium discharged by the third heat exchange mechanism has a third temperature. The first heat exchange medium discharged by the fourth heat exchange mechanism has a fourth temperature. The third temperature and the fourth temperature may be the same. The third temperature and the fourth temperature may also be different. The first heat exchange mediums discharged by the third heat exchange mechanism and the fourth heat exchange mechanism, respectively, can be aggregated and enter the waterway outlet. The first heat exchange medium uniformly discharged from the waterway outlet enters the cabinet through a water divider. For example, the first heat exchange medium uniformly discharged from the waterway outlet enters at least two cabinets respectively through a water divider. Of course, the number of parallel heat exchange mechanisms 120 required for the integrated heat exchange unit 100 can be adjusted according to the number of heat dissipation mechanisms, and the number of heat exchange mechanisms 120 is proportional to the number of heat dissipation mechanisms.
[0065] One power mechanism 130 can drive the heat exchange medium to flow to at least two parallel heat exchange mechanisms 120. At least two heat exchange mechanisms 120 are connected in parallel, and one power mechanism 130 can drive the first heat exchange medium in the parallel waterway to flow. The driving force of the power mechanism 130 can drive the first heat exchange medium to flow to at least two parallel heat exchange mechanisms 120. Thus, the number of power mechanisms 130 is saved, and the cost is saved.
[0066] As an optional embodiment, the integrated heat exchange unit includes a heat exchange mechanism and at least two power mechanisms, and the at least two power mechanisms jointly drive the heat exchange medium flowing to the heat exchange mechanism. The cabinet of the integrated heat exchange unit includes a waterway inlet, and the waterway inlet is connected to the at least two power mechanisms. The heat exchange medium from the waterway inlet flows to the at least two power mechanisms respectively. The heat exchange medium discharged from the waterway inlet enters the at least two power mechanisms respectively. The heat exchange medium discharged from the at least two power mechanisms is collected and enters the heat exchange mechanism.
[0067] Optionally, the power mechanism 130 is located below the heat exchange mechanism 120 along the height direction of the cabinet 110. One power mechanism 130 is located below one heat exchange mechanism 120 along the height direction of the cabinet 110. At least two power mechanisms 130 are located below one heat exchange mechanism 120 along the height direction of the cabinet 110.
[0068] At least two power mechanisms 130 are constructed to be composed of multiple circulation pump components. At least two power mechanisms 130 are installed in parallel in the pipeline to provide circulation power for the system. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 is prefabricated with pipelines and has access space for circulation pump components, and multiple circulation pump component access ports are reserved for water connection of the circulation pump components and power and signal connection of the circulation pump components. The number of pump component access ports reserved in the heat exchange unit is greater than the number of required circulation pump components, that is, the number of circulation pump components is redundantly set.
[0069] In this way, the various small pumps of the integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application are operated in parallel to achieve the required working conditions. When the system is running, the number of pumps that need to be connected can be determined according to the number of rack servers. For example, when the number of rack servers is 50%, the pump components are racked according to the flow rate required for the cooling capacity of 50% of the servers.
[0070] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, at least two power mechanisms 130 are arranged at intervals along a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the cabinet 110. The first direction may be parallel to the length direction D1 of the cabinet 110. The first direction may be parallel to the width direction D2 of the cabinet 110.
[0071] At least two power mechanisms 130 can drive the first heat exchange medium to flow respectively to flow to one heat exchange mechanism 120. At least two power mechanisms 130 can be connected in parallel to output the first heat exchange medium with both flow rate and head meeting the conditions. The number of power mechanisms 130 is adjusted according to the required value of the first heat exchange medium. The first heat exchange mediums from at least two power mechanisms 130 are aggregated and then uniformly flowed to the same heat exchange mechanism 120. At least two power mechanisms 130 can be connected in series to output the first heat exchange medium with both flow rate and head meeting the conditions. The number of power mechanisms 130 is adjusted according to the required value of the first heat exchange medium. The first heat exchange medium flows through at least two power mechanisms 130 in sequence. A waterway inlet is connected to the first of the at least two power mechanisms 130. The first heat exchange medium discharged from the last of the at least two power mechanisms 130 in series flows to one heat exchange mechanism 120.

[0080] To facilitate maintenance, Figure 3As shown, the cabinet includes a connecting wall 132, and the connecting wall 132 is provided with a waterway inlet 133, a waterway outlet 134 and an electrical connection member 135. The waterway inlet 133, the waterway outlet 134 and the electrical connection member 135 are all located on the same side of the power mechanism 130. The first heat exchange medium enters the power mechanism 130 through the waterway inlet 133. The waterway outlet 134 is connected to the heat exchange mechanism 120. The first heat exchange medium from the heat exchange mechanism 120 is discharged through the waterway outlet 134. The first heat exchange medium from the power mechanism 130 enters the heat exchange mechanism 120. The electrical connection member 135 is used to be electrically connected to the cabinet. Optionally, the electrical connection member 135 of the power mechanism 130 in the power mechanism 130 can be constructed as a hand-insertion type fluid connector. As a result, it is possible to make it unnecessary to install a locking device on the cabinet 110. When the power mechanism 130 fails, the electrical connection component 135 remains electrically connected to ensure that the power mechanism 130 can be turned on to check the fault state when the power is on, and the waterway inlet 133 and the waterway outlet 134 are closed to disconnect the connection of the first heat exchange medium, thereby performing a fault check on the power mechanism 130.
[0081] In order to facilitate the connection of the integrated heat exchange unit 100 to the cabinet, the connection wall 132 of the cabinet body faces the cabinet. This facilitates blind plugging. The water and electricity connector is set in a blind plug form, which connects water and electricity when plugged in and disconnects when unplugged. The waterway inlet 133, the waterway outlet 134 and the electrical connection member 135 are all arranged in the same plane. The waterway inlet 133, the waterway outlet 134 and the electrical connection member 135 are all arranged in the same connection wall 132. The waterway inlet 133, the waterway outlet 134 and the electrical connection member 135 are all arranged on the same surface of the connection wall 132.
[0082] The connecting wall 132 is provided with a blind-plug-type fluid connector, and the cabinet is correspondingly provided with a fluid matching connector, and the fluid matching connector of the cabinet matches with the plane of the connecting wall 132. The fluid matching connector of the cabinet includes a pipeline interface and an electrical matching component, and the pipeline interface and the electrical matching component can be independently connected to the connector. The pipeline interface includes a pipeline water outlet and a pipeline water inlet, and the pipeline water outlet can be independently connected to the waterway inlet 133, and the pipeline water inlet can be independently connected to the waterway outlet 134. The electrical matching component can be independently connected to the electrical connection component 135. When the pipeline water outlet is separated from the waterway inlet 133, the electrical matching component can remain connected to the electrical connection component 135. When the water inlet of the pipeline is separated from the waterway outlet 134, the electrical matching component can remain connected to the electrical connection component 135.
[0083] As an optional implementation, the circuit interface and signal interface of the cabinet are integrated into an aviation plug interface (i.e., the electrical connection component 135), and the corresponding part of the cabinet is also replaced with the aviation plug interface. The aviation plug interface of the cabinet is connected with the aviation plug interface of the cabinet to enable the power mechanism 130 to be powered and signaled.
[0084] The water inlet 133, water outlet 134 and electrical connection member 135 of the cabinet are all integrated on the plane where the cabinet is pushed in. As the cabinet is pushed in, the interface on the cabinet first matches with the interface reserved in the cabinet 110. As the cabinet goes deeper, the interface gradually completes the plugging, and then the purpose of water and electricity is achieved.
[0085] As an optional embodiment, the power mechanism 130 is configured to be maintainable online. In order to ensure that the circuit is not disconnected, such as Figure 4 As shown, the integrated heat exchange unit also includes a wire management assembly, and the cabinet is connected to the cabinet through the wire management assembly. The wire management assembly 180 is configured as a wire management box. The wire management assembly 180 includes a resilient member 182 and a wire member 181, and the wire member 181 is connected to the cabinet through the resilient member 182. The wire member 181 is connected to the electrical connection member 135 through the resilient member 182. The integrated heat exchange unit also includes a line fixture 136, and the line fixture 136 is connected to the wire management assembly 180. The line fixture 136 is used to fix the wire member 181. The wire member 181 is configured as an electric wire or a signal wire. The resilient member 182 includes an elastic disk and an elastic member, and the elastic member is arranged in the elastic disk, and the wire member 181 is wrapped around the elastic disk. When an external force pulls the wire member 181 outward, the wire member 181 is pulled out of the wire management disk. When no outward pulling force is applied to the wire member 181, the wire member 181 will return to its original position under the action of the elastic member, and the wire member 181 will be retracted into the wire management box. In this way, the longer wire member 181 can be coiled in the wire management box and can be pulled out of the wire management box. After being pulled out, the pulled out cable can be automatically retracted under the action of the wire management box.
[0086] The cabinet is connected to the cabinet through a wire management assembly. One end of the wire component 181 in the wire management assembly 180 is connected to the male head of the electrical connection component 135 of the cabinet. For example, one end of the wire component 181 in the wire management assembly 180 is connected to the inside of the electrical connection component 135 of the cabinet (such as a power supply, a chip). The female head is arranged on the cabinet. The water circuit and the circuit of the cabinet are in a connected state. The electrical connection component 135 of the cabinet is electrically connected to the electrical matching component of the cabinet. An elastic disk is arranged in the wire management assembly 180, and an elastic member is arranged in the elastic disk, and the wire component 181 is wound on the elastic disk. The elastic member is used to drive the wire component 181 to retract into the wire management box when there is no external force pulling the wire component 181.
[0087] When the cabinet needs maintenance, first disconnect the cabinet water circuit, then pull out the cabinet. Under the action of the cable management component 180, the circuit in the cabinet will be extended, and the cabinet can be pulled out without disconnecting the electrical interface. In this way, the pump components can be inspected and repaired while the power is on, so that the cabinet can be directly maintained online on site without shutting down the integrated heat exchange unit 100. When the cabinet needs to be powered off, the electrical interface is manually disconnected, and at this time, under the action of the cable management component 180, the wires extending out of the cabinet will return to their initial positions.
[0088] When the power mechanism 130 needs to be repaired, the water outlet of the cabinet and the water inlet of the first heat exchange medium pipeline of the cabinet are separated from each other, and the electrical connection component 135 and the electrical matching component of the cabinet remain connected under the action of the wiring assembly 180, ensuring the electrical and signal connectivity of the power mechanism 130 during the maintenance process to facilitate the maintenance of the circulating pump component.
[0089] The integrated heat exchange unit 100 also includes a control mechanism, which can monitor the opening and closing of each component of the integrated heat exchange unit 100. The control mechanism can control the opening and closing of the power mechanism 130 and the opening and closing of the valve. Sensors can be set on the water inlet and outlet pipes of each component in the integrated heat exchange unit 100. The sensor can detect the temperature and pressure data of the heat exchange medium. The sensor can transmit the detected data to the control mechanism, and the control screen of the control mechanism can display the data parameters fed back by the sensor. The control mechanism determines whether it is necessary to add a pump component or add a heat exchange mechanism 120 according to the temperature parameter, and determines whether there is a leak in the system according to the pressure parameter, and gives an alarm. Specifically, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor are provided on the return water pipe of each secondary side, and the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor respectively detect the return water temperature and pressure of each secondary side. The control mechanism determines whether it is necessary to add a power mechanism 130 or add a heat exchange mechanism 120 according to the return water temperature. The control mechanism determines whether there is a leak according to the pressure and gives an alarm.
[0090] In order to ensure the cleanliness of the first heat exchange medium, the integrated heat exchange unit 100 also includes a water quality mechanism, which is connected to the heat exchange mechanism 120. The water quality mechanism can realize integrated water quality detection. The water quality mechanism is used to monitor the cleanliness of the first heat exchange medium. In particular, the water quality mechanism can monitor the water quality of the first heat exchange medium. The water quality mechanism is located downstream of the heat exchange mechanism 120. The water quality mechanism can monitor the cleanliness of the first heat exchange medium from the heat exchange mechanism 120. The water quality mechanism can monitor the cleanliness of the first heat exchange medium discharged from the heat exchange mechanism 120. The water quality mechanism is located between the heat exchange mechanism 120 and the heat dissipation mechanism. The water quality mechanism can ensure the cleanliness of the first heat exchange medium entering the heat dissipation mechanism.
[0091] More specifically, the water quality mechanism includes a filter component, and the filter component is located downstream of the heat exchange mechanism 120. The filter component and the heat exchange mechanism 120 are connected through a pipeline. Of course, all components of the integrated heat exchange unit 100 are connected through a pipeline to form a complete coolant circulation loop. The filter component is configured as a filter. The filter component is used to filter the first heat exchange medium. In particular, the filter component is used to filter the first heat exchange medium discharged from the heat exchange mechanism 120. Thereby, the cleanliness of the first heat exchange medium entering the heat dissipation mechanism is ensured.
[0092] In an optional embodiment, the water quality mechanism also includes a water quality monitoring component, which is used to monitor the cleanliness of the first heat exchange medium. For example, the water quality monitoring component is used to monitor the water quality of the first heat exchange medium. The water quality monitoring component includes a control component and a monitoring component, and the monitoring component is used to monitor the first heat exchange medium. The monitoring component is used to monitor the cleanliness of the first heat exchange medium. The filter component and the water quality monitoring component are integrated in the same mechanism. For example, the filter component and the water quality monitoring component are integrated in the same device. The monitoring component is communicatively connected to the control component. The monitoring component can feed back the monitoring data to the control component. The control component can monitor the filtering condition of the filter component.
[0093] Of course, the water quality mechanism also includes pipelines and switch components, and the switch components are set to the pipelines. The filter component is installed on the pipeline. A bypass pipe is set around the filter component. When the filter component needs maintenance, the heat exchange medium passes through the bypass pipe. The monitoring component includes a pH detection component, a turbidity detection component and a conductivity detection component. The pH detection component, the turbidity detection component and the conductivity detection component are all set in the heat exchange medium pipeline to display the changes in the heat exchange medium. The control component can realize system health warning. The control component can analyze and warn the quality of the heat exchange medium based on the data detected by the monitoring component. When the quality detection index of the heat exchange medium is lower than the set value, an early warning will be given. The control component will also count the change data of the heat exchange medium, analyze the changes in the quality index of the heat exchange medium within a certain period, and predict the time period when the heat exchange medium drops below the set value based on the changes, and give an early warning. The control component can also judge whether the filter component needs to be repaired or replaced based on the changes in the heat exchange medium.
[0094] As an optional embodiment, the integrated heat exchange unit 100 further includes a pressure stabilizing mechanism, which is located upstream of the power mechanism 130. The pressure stabilizing mechanism is configured as a pressure stabilizing tank or an expansion tank. The pressure stabilizing mechanism is used to adjust the pressure of the first heat exchange medium. The pressure stabilizing mechanism is connected to the power mechanism 130. The pressure stabilizing mechanism is located upstream of the power mechanism 130. The pressure stabilizing mechanism is connected to the waterway inlet 133. The pressure stabilizing mechanism is used to adjust the pressure of the first heat exchange medium entering the power mechanism 130.
[0095] In order to ensure the amount of the first heat exchange medium in the integrated heat exchange unit 100, the integrated heat exchange unit 100 further includes a liquid replenishing mechanism 170, which is connected to the power mechanism 130. The liquid replenishing mechanism 170 is connected to the waterway inlet 133 to replenish the heat exchange medium. The liquid replenishing mechanism 170 replenishes the first heat exchange medium.
[0096] The infusion mechanism 170 can provide the first heat exchange medium to the pressure stabilizing mechanism. The infusion mechanism 170 includes an infusion pump and a liquid storage device, and the infusion pump is used to drive the first heat exchange medium in the liquid storage device to flow. The infusion pump can act as a circulation pump. The infusion pump can be detachably arranged in the cabinet 110. The infusion pump can also be equipped with a wiring assembly 180. The liquid storage device is used to store the first heat exchange medium, providing a stable source of the first heat exchange medium for the integrated heat exchange unit 100.
[0097] Specifically, the liquid storage device is used to store coolant to provide a stable source of coolant for the integrated heat exchange unit 100. When the first heat exchange medium is configured as water, the liquid storage device is connected to the water source. The liquid storage device is connected to an external water source. The water source replenishes water to the liquid storage device. The liquid replenishment pump drives the first heat exchange medium in the liquid storage device to flow into the pressure stabilizing mechanism.
[0098] In this way, the operator installs the power mechanism 130 inside the cabinet 110 and fixes it with a locking device. When the first power mechanism needs maintenance, the power mechanism 130 is switched to the second power mechanism that does not require maintenance. The locking device of the first power mechanism that needs maintenance is opened and the first power mechanism that needs maintenance is pulled out. Since the electrical connection component 135 of the first power mechanism and the waterway inlet 133 and the waterway outlet 134 are all located on the same connecting wall 132, the circuit will not be disconnected, and the power mechanism 130 can be repaired. Similarly, when the second power mechanism needs maintenance, the power mechanism 130 is switched to the first power mechanism that does not require maintenance. The locking device of the second power mechanism that needs maintenance is opened and the second power mechanism that needs maintenance is pulled out. Since the electrical connection component 135 of the second power mechanism and the waterway inlet 133 and the waterway outlet 134 are all located on the same connecting wall 132, the circuit will not be disconnected, and the power mechanism 130 can be repaired.
[0099] The pipeline system of the integrated heat exchange unit 100 is divided into a primary side pipeline part and a secondary side pipeline part. The primary side pipeline part connects the heat exchange mechanism 120 with the external cold source, and the secondary side pipeline part connects the heat exchange mechanism 120 with the indoor liquid cooling cabinet. The return water pipeline of the secondary side pipeline is connected in sequence with a pressure stabilizing mechanism, a power mechanism 130, a pressure stabilizing mechanism and a liquid replenishing mechanism 170. When the integrated heat exchange unit 100 is running, the cooling water from the external cold source enters the heat exchange mechanism 120 for heat exchange and becomes high-temperature return water, and the high-temperature return water returns to the external cold source for heat exchange and becomes cooling water again. The first heat exchange medium from the heat exchange mechanism 120 passes through the water quality mechanism, and the first heat exchange medium is filtered, parameter detected and analyzed, and then enters the liquid cooling cabinet to exchange heat with the heating element, and the low-temperature first heat exchange medium becomes a high-temperature first heat exchange medium, and the high-temperature first heat exchange medium flows back to the integrated heat exchange unit 100, and re-enters the heat exchange mechanism 120 under the action of the circulating pump component.
[0100] The power mechanism 130 is installed in the integrated heat exchange unit 100. The water inlet 133 and the water outlet 134 are both arranged on the same connecting wall 132. In particular, the water inlet 133 and the water outlet 134 are both arranged on the same plane. The remaining relevant components of the integrated heat exchange unit 100 are integrated in the mechanism unit. Corresponding matching water and electricity connectors are retained in the integrated heat exchange unit 100, and necessary installation space is reserved to realize the mechanism of the power mechanism 130 and the convenient disassembly of the power mechanism 130. The mechanism setting of the drive mechanism, combined with the design of the maintenance door, can simplify operation and maintenance. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 can be opened for maintenance without stopping, which avoids the power mechanism 130 being surrounded by pipelines and avoids the difficulty in maintaining the power mechanism 130 due to the difficulty in disassembling the pipelines.
[0101] The integrated heat exchange unit 100 includes a plurality of heat exchange mechanisms 120 and a plurality of power mechanisms 130. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 is provided with access space and reserved space for installing the heat exchange unit and the power mechanism 130. Each power mechanism 130 is arranged on the return pipe of each secondary side. Each power mechanism 130 is connected to the main return pipe. The main return pipe is a prefabricated water pipe prefabricated in the access space.
[0102] The power mechanism 130 is integrated with various interfaces. The waterway interfaces of each power mechanism 130 are connected to the prefabricated water pipes in the access space, and the water to be cooled in the prefabricated water pipes is distributed to each heat exchange mechanism 120 for heat exchange or the water to be cooled in the prefabricated water pipes flows through each heat exchange mechanism 120 in turn for heat exchange. The interfaces integrated in the power mechanism 130 and the plate heat exchanger in the heat exchange unit are connected to the corresponding interfaces set in the CDU.
[0103] According to the integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application, the components that need to be maintained, such as the power mechanism 130, the water quality mechanism and the liquid replenishment mechanism 170, are flexibly deployed, and can be repaired online without stopping the machine. Independent monitoring can simplify operation and maintenance, reduce system complexity and maintenance costs, and save time and effort. At the same time, the integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application has both water purification and detection functions, which can warn the water quality of the system and remind and predict the cycle of water quality replacement or drug addition.
[0104] According to the integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application, the large pump component is disassembled into a small pump component, and a pump component position is reserved in the system, and the pump component and related components are integrated. The cabinet 110 is provided with a wiring assembly 180, which solves the current liquid cooling system. The system downtime caused by the server rack is not full and the flow in the system does not reach the minimum limit for the operation of the large pump component. It solves the problem that the pump component cannot be maintained online when the current system is running, and solves the problem that the current pump component has no scalability. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application can realize the decoupling of the liquid cooling facility side and the equipment side, promote the standardization of the cabinet and server interface, and integrate refrigeration, power distribution, and distributed heat exchange units.
[0105] The integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application can be compatible with the installation of various categories and models of IT equipment, reduce the restrictions between cabinets and servers, and deliver cabinets and servers in a decoupled manner. Aiming at the pain points of cold plate liquid cooling air and liquid cooling separation, the first pipeline connection and control method architecture is created to achieve cold plate liquid cooling cabinet-level air-liquid fusion. The removable blind plug bus can flexibly adjust the position of the liquid cooling cabinet bus through modular design. The water and electricity blind plug design enables rapid node-level installation and maintenance, improving efficiency by more than 30%. Through customized interfaces and optimized flow resistance, PUE is as low as below 1.15. High-reliability technology is adopted, with water and electricity separation, leakage detection, drip-free connectors, and long-life hoses. The integrated heat exchange unit 100 of the present application has functions such as asset management, power consumption management, liquid cooling leakage detection, power module management, battery module management, etc., supports on-demand cooling, automatically adjusts the cold water flow in the node, and reduces PUE.
