Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of liquid cooling technology, and in particular to a two-phase cold plate liquid cooling data center and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The principle of liquid-cooled cold plate technology is to bring the heat source into contact with the cold plate, transfer the heat of the electronic equipment to the cold plate, and then use the cooling medium in the cooling medium pipe to take the heat out of the cold plate for heat dissipation. Finally, the cooling medium is driven by the circulation system to continuously flow through the heat sink to maintain the stable operation of the liquid cooling system. In related technologies, the cooling medium of the two-phase cold plate cooling system enters the cold plate in liquid form under the drive of the circulation system. After absorbing the heat of the cold plate, part of the cooling medium vaporizes to form a gas-liquid two-phase state and flows out of the cold plate. The gas-liquid mixed cooling medium flowing out of the cold plate passes through the liquid cooling heat exchange module and turns back into liquid phase, and finally re-enters the cold plate under the drive of the circulation pump.

[0003] However, due to the different heat generation of heat-generating components at each node in the existing liquid-cooled data center, the two-phase cold plate may dry out and no phase change may occur in the two-phase cold plate.

[0069] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0070] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that if the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. appear, the orientation or position relationship indicated by these terms is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0071] In addition, if the terms "first" or "second" appear, these terms are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, if the term "plurality" appears, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0072] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like appear, these terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0073] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if there is a description that a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, etc., or similar descriptions appear, it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

The first feature being "below", "below" and "below" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0074] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element.

If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0075] The cooling medium of the two-phase cold plate cooling system enters the cold plate in liquid form under the drive of the circulation system. After absorbing the heat of the cold plate, part of the cooling medium vaporizes to form a gas-liquid two-phase state and flows out of the cold plate. The gas-liquid two-phase cooling medium flowing out of the cold plate passes through the secondary cooling system and turns back into liquid phase, and finally re-enters the cold plate under the drive of the circulation pump.

[0076] However, conventional two-phase cold plate liquid cooling data centers have the following three problems:

[0077] 1: The liquid supply temperature of the two-phase cold plate 100 is low, and the heating elements have different calorific values, which may cause dry burning of part of the two-phase cold plate 100 and no phase change in the two-phase cold plate 100. In severe cases, the system internal temperature may rise abnormally and the system energy consumption may be excessive.

[0078] 2: Each two-phase cold plate has 100 branches that share a main circulation system. Each branch cannot supply liquid independently. The distribution of the cooling medium flow in each branch is uncontrollable, resulting in uneven cooling effects between different cold plates.

[0079] 3: After the vapor-liquid two-phase cooling fluid enters the confluence pipe, part of the vapor phase fluid cannot be effectively separated in time, and part of the medium will be discharged along with the system exhaust, resulting in medium loss.

[0080] For this purpose, Embodiment 1

[0081] A liquid cooling data center, as shown in FIG1 , includes:

[0082] A plurality of two-phase cold plate liquid cooling cabinets 10, wherein the liquid cooling cabinets 10 are provided with a plurality of nodes to be cooled, two-phase cold plates 100 in contact with the nodes to be cooled, and an electric-liquid integrated distribution module 200, a liquid cooling heat exchange module 300 and a system detection module connected to the two-phase cold plates 100 of each node;

[0083] The secondary water loop network 600 includes a water supply loop network and a water return loop network disposed at the bottom of the data center. The low-temperature fluid of the water supply loop network is connected to the liquid cooling heat exchange module 300 through the water supply branch and undergoes heat exchange to become a high-temperature fluid, which is then output to the water return loop network through the water return branch.

[0084] The monitoring and regulating module obtains the circulation system parameters, and / or power consumption information, and / or cooling capacity information of each liquid cooling cabinet 10, and controls the flow of the water supply branch and the return branch corresponding to each liquid cooling cabinet 10, so that the liquid fluid in the two-phase cold plate 100 of each node absorbs the heat of the node to be cooled and vaporizes to form a vapor fluid flowing out.

[0085] Furthermore, the liquid cooling heat exchange module 300 is provided with:

[0086] The first heat exchange unit 310 is used to receive the vapor fluid and the liquid fluid and cool the first cooling fluid to a first preset temperature;

[0087] The second heat exchange unit 320 is used to receive the first cooling fluid and cool it to a second cooling fluid with a second preset temperature;

[0088] The third heat exchange unit 330 is used to receive the second cooling fluid and reheat the second cooling fluid to a third cooling fluid of a third preset temperature;

[0089] Wherein, the second preset temperature is not lower than the third preset temperature.

[0090] In one embodiment, the first heat exchange unit 310 and the second heat exchange unit 320 are connected in parallel with the first water supply ring network through the first water supply branch, and a first monitoring and regulating unit is arranged on the first water supply branch; the first heat exchange unit 310 is connected with the return water ring network through the first return water branch, and a second monitoring and regulating unit is arranged on the first return water branch; the second heat exchange unit 320 is connected with the return water ring network through the second return water branch, and a third monitoring and regulating unit is arranged on the second return water branch;

[0091] Preferably, the first monitoring and adjusting unit includes a first monitoring component 343 and a first adjusting component 353; the second monitoring and adjusting unit includes a second monitoring component 341 and a second adjusting component 351; the third monitoring and adjusting unit includes a third monitoring component 342 and a third adjusting component 352;

[0092] Specifically, the liquid-cooled data center of this embodiment is connected to multiple two-phase cold plate liquid cooling cabinets 10 through the secondary side water ring network 600, and the circulation system parameters, and / or power consumption information, and / or cooling capacity information of each liquid cooling cabinet 10 are obtained in real time, and the flow of the water supply branch and the return branch corresponding to each liquid cooling cabinet 10 is controlled in real time through the monitoring and adjustment module according to the heat dissipation requirements of each liquid cooling cabinet 10, so that the vapor fluid in each liquid cooling cabinet 10 can undergo condensation, supercooling, reheating and other heat exchange processes, and each liquid cooling cabinet 10 can operate under a stable system pressure while outputting a liquid fluid of a third preset temperature to the electro-liquid integrated distribution module 200 (wherein the third preset temperature includes but is not limited to the fluid saturation temperature, slightly lower than the fluid saturation temperature), so that once the liquid fluid flows through the two-phase cold plate 100 to exchange heat with the element to be cooled, it can undergo phase change vaporization, thereby maximizing the use of the phase change latent heat of the fluid and improving the phase change heat exchange efficiency of the two-phase cold plate 100 at each node. Experimental comparison shows that the heat exchange efficiency of the reheated liquid-cooled cabinet 10 can be more than doubled compared to the heat dissipation effect of the non-reheated liquid-cooled cabinet 10, which can effectively increase the installation density of the liquid-cooled cabinet 10 and reduce the power distribution power of the data center computer room; it can also directly achieve zero-carbon heating.

[0093] In addition, in order to further improve the heat dissipation effect of fluid phase change, the liquid cooling heat exchange module 300 of the liquid cooling data center of the present application adopts at least three-stage heat exchange units, so that the vapor fluid can undergo condensation, supercooling, reheating and other heat exchange processes, so that each liquid cooling cabinet 10 can operate under a stable system pressure while outputting liquid fluid of a third preset temperature to the electro-liquid integrated distribution module 200 (wherein the third preset temperature includes but is not limited to the fluid saturation temperature and slightly lower than the fluid saturation temperature), thereby improving the phase change heat transfer efficiency of the two-phase cold plate 100 at each node.

[0094] Compared with the prior art, the two-phase cold plate 100 liquid cooling data center of the present application has the following four beneficial effects:

[0095] 1: Effectively improve the installed density of liquid-cooled data centers and reduce the power distribution power of data center computer rooms; it can also directly achieve zero-carbon heating.

[0096] 2. The heat generation of each branch is collected in real time through the electro-hydraulic integrated distribution module 200, so as to realize real-time control of the heat dissipation of the two-phase cold plate 100 of each branch, so as to avoid partial dry burning of the two-phase cold plate 100 and no phase change in the two-phase cold plate 100.

[0097] 2: Effectively ensure stable overclocking of components to be cooled (especially high-power electronic components, CPU, GPU), and can adaptively control the core temperature fluctuation of high-power heating components such as chips within 1.5°C, thereby improving the operating stability and temperature uniformity of the server.

[0098] 3: The heat dissipation performance of the liquid cooling cabinet 10 is effectively improved, and the heat dissipation effect can be more than doubled compared to the existing liquid cooling cabinet 10 that has not been reheated.

[0106] The liquid cooling cabinet 10 of this embodiment first collects the power consumption information corresponding to the equipment to be cooled at each node, and / or the cooling capacity information of the two-phase cold plate 100 at each node through the electric-liquid integrated distribution module 200; and controls the flow rate of the fluid in the two-phase cold plate 100 according to the power consumption information and / or the cooling capacity information. Specifically, the electric-liquid integrated distribution module 200 can calculate the heating value by collecting the power consumption information of each node to be cooled, or calculate the heating value of the corresponding node to be cooled by collecting the cooling capacity information of each two-phase cold plate 100 (for example, the flow rate of each liquid supply branch), or calculate the heating value of the corresponding node to be cooled according to the power consumption information and the cooling capacity information at the same time, and then control the flow rate of each liquid supply branch of the two-phase cold plate 100 according to the heating value, so that the liquid fluid enters the two-phase cold plate 100 to absorb heat and immediately undergoes phase change and vaporizes into a vapor fluid.
