Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid cooling and heat dissipation, and in particular to a control method and a control system for a liquid cooling and heat dissipation system in a data center. Background Art

[0002] As the scale of data centers continues to expand, the demand for data storage and computing has also increased dramatically, and energy consumption in the field of information technology has gradually become a core issue that needs to be addressed. In the efficient data processing subfield of the information technology field, heat dissipation is an important part of ensuring the normal operation of the server. In recent years, liquid cooling systems have gradually become a key means of data center cooling technology, especially cold plate liquid cooling systems, which are widely used in large server systems due to their high heat dissipation efficiency and low noise. The cold plate liquid cooling system directly contacts the heat source through the coolant, which can more efficiently remove the heat generated by the server and ensure that the data center can operate efficiently and stably.

[0003] In the Chinese invention application with application publication number CN118170226A, an immersion liquid cooling temperature control system, method, device and medium are disclosed, which relates to the field of server heat dissipation technology and is used to achieve heat dissipation of server motherboards. In view of the problem that traditional solutions cannot accurately control and cool down key heating components or local areas, an immersion liquid cooling temperature control system is provided, which combines the phased array technology currently commonly used in the antenna field with the immersion liquid cooling of the server motherboard. The phased array technology can freely and flexibly interfere with the effect of electromagnetic wave waveforms, and the original phased array technology interference with electromagnetic waves is changed to interference with vibration waves, and then the flow channel and flow rate of the coolant are affected by the vibration waves, so as to achieve flexible and precise control of the flow channel and flow rate of the coolant in the server. In this way, the targeted cooling demand of the local key heating components in the current intensive server motherboard is met, and a better cooling effect is achieved, which is conducive to ensuring the normal and stable operation of the server.

[0004] In combination with the prior art, the above application still has the following deficiencies:

[0005] At present, cold plate liquid cooling systems are widely used in data centers. Although they have high heat dissipation capabilities, they still have obvious regulation problems in actual operation. For example, when the server load fluctuates, the coolant flow rate is often difficult to adapt to the load changes in time, resulting in poor cooling efficiency. Fixed flow rate control modes are difficult to balance the relationship between temperature control and energy consumption. Especially in an environment with frequent load changes, improper coolant flow rate can easily lead to a decrease in cooling effect or an increase in energy consumption. At the same time, liquid cooling systems that lack adaptive regulation functions are also difficult to dynamically respond to changes in load during the heat dissipation process. These deficiencies limit the overall performance of the liquid cooling system. Summary of the invention

When receiving the first switching logic or the second switching logic, the module immediately sends a switching instruction to the cooling management module, and calculates the smoothness adjustment parameter Stra based on the constructed smooth control algorithm formula. In the formula, the time change Δt, the pressure difference change ΔPdiff of the liquid cooling system, the coolant flow rate change ΔFfl and their corresponding weight coefficients are combined to ensure that the pressure and flow rate adjustment of the system during the switching process are gradually transitioned, thereby avoiding sudden fluctuations in temperature and pressure. The smooth switching control module greatly reduces the instability of the system during the coolant flow rate switching process, and prevents hardware failures or performance degradation caused by sudden changes in pressure or abnormal flow rate. Through smooth control, the switching process is safer, the heat dissipation efficiency is maximized, and the system energy efficiency and equipment service life are significantly improved. This improvement enables the system to seamlessly switch the coolant flow rate mode under complex load conditions, ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the data center while reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

[0109] This embodiment is explained in Example 5. Please refer to Figure 1 ,Specifically: the feedback and optimization module includes a dynamic feedback unit, a feedback ,analysis unit and an adaptive adjustment unit;

[0110] The dynamic feedback unit is used to continuously monitor the running effect of the server after the cooling mode is smoothly switched, and calculate and output the running effect feedback parameter Cfee by constructing a dynamic feedback formula to feedback the running effect after cooling;

[0111] The operation effect feedback parameter Cfee is calculated and obtained through the following dynamic feedback formula;

[0112]

[0113] Wherein, Ttarget represents the target chip temperature set by the system, Ptarget represents the target pressure of the cooling system, a1, a2 and a3 represent the chip temperature feedback adjustment coefficient, the inlet and outlet water temperature difference feedback adjustment coefficient and the pressure difference feedback adjustment coefficient respectively, and their specific values ​​are set and obtained by the user.

[0114] The feedback analysis unit usually provides the optimal operating conditions and temperature range of the equipment through the supplier of the server or cooling system. Based on these data, combined with the heat dissipation capacity of the system, the preset effect threshold X and the obtained operating effect feedback parameter Cfee are used for secondary comparative evaluation to determine the current cooling effect. The specific evaluation contents are as follows;

[0115] When the running effect feedback parameter Cfee> effect threshold X, it means that the current cooling effect is abnormal, and the unit is adaptively adjusted at this time;

[0116] When the running effect feedback parameter Cfee≤effect threshold value X, it indicates that the cooling effect is normal. At this time, the current cooling mode is continued to be executed and continuously monitored.

[0117] The adaptive adjustment unit is used to calculate and output the adaptive feedback control factor Cada through the constructed adaptive optimization formula when the cooling effect is abnormal in the secondary comparative evaluation, so as to dynamically adjust the cooling mode and cooling intensity;

[0118] The adaptive feedback control factor Cada is calculated by the following adaptive optimization formula:

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, A adaptove represents the weight factor, represents the weighted average value of the historical operation effect feedback parameter, Cfee(i) represents the operation effect feedback parameter at the i-th moment, wi represents the weight value of the operation effect feedback parameter at the i-th moment, and n represents the selected historical period.

[0121] In this embodiment, the feedback and optimization module of the system realizes real-time monitoring, performance evaluation and automatic optimization of the cooling system through a dynamic feedback unit, a feedback analysis unit and an adaptive adjustment unit. First, after the cooling mode is smoothly switched, the dynamic feedback unit continuously monitors the operation effect of the server, calculates the operation effect feedback parameter Cfee using a dynamic feedback formula, and evaluates the cooling effect of the system. Then, the feedback analysis unit compares the feedback result with the target chip temperature Ttarget, the target pressure Ptarget and the preset effect threshold X set by the system to determine whether the current cooling is normal. If Cfee exceeds the effect threshold X, the system will start adaptive optimization through the adaptive adjustment unit, construct an adaptive feedback control factor Cada, and dynamically adjust the cooling mode and intensity according to the historical data and the current data to ensure the continuous optimization of the heat dissipation effect. The introduction of this module greatly improves the intelligence and adaptive ability of the cooling system. Compared with the passive adjustment of the traditional cooling system, the feedback and optimization module can actively monitor the system operation status, and optimize and adjust in time when an abnormality is found to ensure that the cooling effect is always in the best state. This adaptive optimization mechanism based on the combination of historical data and real-time feedback not only effectively improves the cooling efficiency, but also reduces the energy waste and hardware loss caused by overcooling or insufficient heat dissipation.
