Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of liquid cooling products, and particularly relates to a liquid draining device, a control method thereof and a liquid cooling system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The commonly used cooling liquid in the liquid cooling system, such as the aqueous solution prepared by ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and the like, or some special fluorinated liquid, has a limited service life. This is because the cooling liquid will be affected by various factors during long-term use, thereby causing its performance to gradually decrease. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the liquid cooling system and the reliability of the equipment, the cooling liquid needs to be replaced regularly. In addition, during the transportation of the liquid cooling equipment, the equipment may be subjected to external forces such as vibration and inclination, and if the cooling liquid is retained in the equipment, it may cause the cooling liquid to leak, which not only pollutes the transportation equipment and the surrounding environment, but also may damage the equipment itself. Therefore, before the liquid cooling equipment is transported, the cooling liquid in the equipment needs to be drained to ensure the safety of the transportation process and the integrity of the equipment.

[0003] At present, when the cooling liquid is replaced regularly or the liquid cooling equipment is transported, the cooling liquid is usually drained through the drain port provided in the liquid cooling system. However, in actual application, due to the complex structure of the liquid cooling system, which includes numerous pipelines, radiators, coolers and other components, the cooling liquid will form various dead angles and stagnation areas in these components, so it is usually difficult to completely drain all the cooling liquid in the system through the system drain port.

[0043] In the following description, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the application. However, persons of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that embodiments of the application can be practiced without many of the specific details, and that the detailed description is designed to support a thorough understanding of the present application. In other instances, well-known systems, circuits, and methods have not been described in detail in order to avoid obscuring the present application.

[0044] It should be understood that the term "comprising" as used in the specification and in the following claims indicates the presence of the recited features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. Also, in the description of the specification and in the claims that follow, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used merely as labels for distinguishing between different features, and do not necessarily imply a sequence or order of importance.

[0045] Reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other embodiments", "in additional embodiments", etc. in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, although they can. Rather, they constitute different instances of embodiments in which the alternative is true.

[0046] The coolant of the liquid cooling device will be affected by various factors during long-term use, and its performance will gradually decline. On the one hand, the coolant will chemically react with the metal parts, causing corrosion, which not only damages the internal structure of the device, but also mixes metal ions and other impurities into the coolant, affecting its heat dissipation performance and chemical stability. On the other hand, the coolant will continuously absorb heat during circulation, and repeated temperature changes may cause decomposition or failure of its additives, reducing its antifreeze, anti-boiling, and anti-fouling functions. In addition, microorganisms such as bacteria and algae may grow in the coolant, forming biofilms that block the cooling pipeline, affecting the normal flow of the coolant and the heat dissipation effect. Therefore, the coolant needs to be replaced regularly. When replacing, the original coolant in the device needs to be drained first, and as much as possible should be drained, otherwise the impurities in the residual coolant will also affect the performance of the newly replaced coolant.

[0047] In addition, the coolant in the liquid cooling device also needs to be drained before transportation to avoid leakage during transportation, and part of the coolant may have certain corrosiveness or conductivity, which may have adverse effects on other items or equipment after leakage, or even cause safety accidents.

[0048] In related technologies, the liquid cooling device is usually drained through the drainage port provided by the device, which is difficult to drain the residual coolant in the pipeline. In addition, there are some additional drainage devices, which are mostly used for local drainage. For example, only the liquid cooling plate in the local loop of the liquid cooling device is drained and purged, and such a drainage device is difficult to meet the drainage needs of the entire liquid cooling device.

[0049] Based on the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a liquid discharge device applied to a liquid cooling system including a primary side loop and a secondary side loop, the liquid discharge device includes a drainage unit and a drying unit connected between the primary side loop and the secondary side loop respectively, the drainage unit is used to discharge the coolant in the primary side loop and the secondary side loop, and the drying unit is used to dry the coolant in the primary side loop and the secondary side loop which is not discharged by the drainage unit. That is, the present application can discharge the primary side loop and the secondary side loop of the liquid cooling system by one set of liquid discharge device, and the drying unit can also ensure that the residual coolant in the loop is dried, and the coolant is completely discharged.

[0050] For example, the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the example scene as shown in Figure 1 The scene includes the loop structure of a certain liquid cooling system, as shown in Figure 1 The loop of the liquid cooling system includes a primary side loop 11 and a secondary side loop 12. The primary side loop 11 is composed of a primary side pipeline 13 and a cold medium pipeline in a plate heat exchanger 15, and the secondary side loop 12 is composed of a secondary side pipeline 14 and a hot medium pipeline in the plate heat exchanger 15. Since the pipeline structure of the plate heat exchanger 15 is usually complex and compact, it is difficult to discharge the residual liquid in the fins during liquid discharge. Figure 1 The scene also includes the liquid discharge device 10 in the embodiment of the present application, which is arranged between the primary side loop 11 and the secondary side loop 12. Thus, when the entire liquid cooling system is discharged, the drainage distance of the plate heat exchanger 15 is short, thereby helping to improve the drainage efficiency and effect; if a water pump is used to pump water, the pumping head can be reduced, and the pumping efficiency can be improved.

[0051] Next, the liquid discharge device 10 and the control method thereof provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings of the specification:

[0052] Referring to Figure 2 The liquid discharge device 10 in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a liquid cooling system including a primary side loop 11 and a secondary side loop 12. The liquid discharge device 10 includes:

[0053] The drainage unit 21 is connected between the primary side loop 11 and the secondary side loop 12, and is used to discharge the coolant in the primary side loop 11 and the secondary side loop 12.

[0054] The drying unit 22 is connected between the primary side loop 11 and the secondary side loop 12, and is used to dry the coolant in the primary side loop 11 and the secondary side loop 12 which is not discharged by the drainage unit 21.

[0055] Corresponding to the liquid discharge device 10 shown in Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method of the liquid discharge device 10, as shown inFigure 3 The control method of the liquid draining device 10 includes:

[0056] Step 301, control the drainage unit 21 to communicate with the primary side circuit 11, and control the drainage unit 21 to drain the cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11.

[0057] Step 302, control the drying unit 22 to communicate with the primary side circuit 11, and control the drying unit 22 to dry the cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11 which is not drained by the drainage unit 21.

[0058] Step 303, control the drainage unit 21 to communicate with the secondary side circuit 12, and control the drainage unit 21 to drain the cooling liquid in the secondary side circuit 12.

[0059] Step 304, control the drying unit 22 to communicate with the secondary side circuit 12, and control the drying unit 22 to dry the cooling liquid in the secondary side circuit 12 which is not drained by the drainage unit 21.

[0060] The above embodiment, when draining a side circuit, first controls the drainage unit 21 to communicate with the side circuit to drain the cooling liquid, and then dries the remaining cooling liquid through the drying unit 22, thereby realizing the draining and drying of the entire liquid cooling system and ensuring that there is no residual liquid in the pipeline. It can be understood that in actual application, the primary side can be drained and dried first, or the secondary side can be drained and dried first, and the order of the change does not affect the draining effect of the liquid cooling system.

[0061] Further, the liquid cooling system in the embodiment of the present application can include a primary side pipeline 13, a plate heat exchanger 15, and a secondary side pipeline 14. The plate heat exchanger 15 includes a cold medium pipeline and a hot medium pipeline. The primary side circuit 11 is formed by the primary side pipeline 13 and the cold medium pipeline, and the secondary side circuit 12 is formed by the secondary side pipeline 14 and the hot medium pipeline, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0062] In a possible implementation, the drainage unit 21 is connected to the primary side pipeline 13 and the secondary side pipeline 14 respectively; the drying unit 22 is connected to the primary side pipeline 13 and the secondary side pipeline 14 respectively. That is, the interface through which the drainage unit 21 is connected to the liquid cooling system can be an interface on the primary side pipeline 13 or the secondary side pipeline 14, and the same applies to the drying unit 22.

[0063] In another possible implementation, the drainage unit 21 is connected to the external pipeline / interface of the cold medium pipeline and the hot medium pipeline of the plate heat exchanger 15, respectively; the drying unit 22 is connected to the external pipeline / interface of the cold medium pipeline and the hot medium pipeline of the plate heat exchanger 15, respectively. That is, the interface through which the drainage unit 21 is connected to the liquid cooling system can also be the interface of the plate heat exchanger 15, or the interface on the connecting pipeline between the plate heat exchanger 15 and a certain side loop; the same applies to the drying unit 22.

[0064] Referring to Figure 3 The primary side loop 11 can be provided with a primary side liquid outlet and a primary side air inlet; the secondary side loop 12 can be provided with a secondary side liquid outlet and a secondary side air inlet.

[0065] The drainage unit 21 can include a first liquid outlet valve 41 and a second liquid outlet valve 42. The first liquid outlet valve 41 is connected to the primary side liquid outlet, and the second liquid outlet valve 42 is connected to the secondary side liquid outlet.

[0066] The drying unit 22 can include a first air inlet valve 43, a second air inlet valve 44, and drying gas. The first air inlet valve 43 is connected to the primary side air inlet, and the second air inlet valve 44 is connected to the secondary side air inlet. The drying gas is used to dry the cooling liquid in the primary side loop 11 and the secondary side loop 12 that is not exhausted by the drainage unit 21.

[0067] In the above embodiment, when the liquid drainage device 10 drains the liquid cooling system, the first liquid outlet valve 41 or the second liquid outlet valve 42 of the drainage unit 21 is opened, and the cooling liquid can be exhausted from the corresponding loop by relying on gravity or other power sources. When the drainage unit 21 completes the extraction of the cooling liquid, the first liquid outlet valve 41 and the second liquid outlet valve 42 are closed, and then the first air inlet valve 43 or the second air inlet valve 44 is opened, so that the drying gas is filled into the primary side loop 11 or the secondary side loop 12. The drying gas flows in the loop and carries away the cooling liquid that is not exhausted by the drainage unit. By continuously filling the drying gas until the cooling liquid in the loop is completely dried, it is ensured that there is no cooling liquid remaining in the liquid cooling system.

[0068] Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of the liquid drainage device 10 provided by a specific embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0069] Referring to Figure 4 The drainage unit 21 in the present embodiment can include a first liquid outlet valve 41, a second liquid outlet valve 42, a liquid storage tank 45, a liquid storage tank valve 451 arranged at the inlet end of the liquid storage tank 45, and a first gas-liquid pump 46. The drying unit 22 can include a first air inlet valve 43, a second air inlet valve 44, the first gas-liquid pump 46, a first gas storage tank 47, and a first gas tank valve 471 arranged at the outlet end of the first gas storage tank 47. The first gas storage tank 47 is provided with a heating resistance wire 48 for heating the gas in the first gas storage tank 47.

[0070] The outlet of the first gas-liquid pump 46 is connected to the inlet of the first gas charging valve 43, the second gas charging valve 44 and the liquid storage tank 45 respectively.

[0071] The functions of the liquid draining device 10 are as follows:

[0072] When the first liquid draining valve 41 and the liquid storage tank valve 451 are opened, and the first gas charging valve 43, the second gas charging valve 44, the second liquid draining valve 42 and the first gas tank valve 471 are closed, the cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11 can flow into the drainage unit 21 from the primary side liquid draining port and be pumped into the liquid storage tank 45 by the first gas-liquid pump 46.

[0073] When the first vent port, the first gas charging valve 43 and the first gas tank valve 471 are opened, and the second gas charging valve 44, the liquid storage tank valve 451, the first liquid draining valve 41 and the second liquid draining valve 42 are closed, the heated gas in the first gas tank 47 is charged into the primary side circuit 11 by the first gas-liquid pump 46 to dry the cooling liquid that has not been drained in the primary side circuit 11.

[0074] When the second liquid draining valve 42 and the liquid storage tank valve 451 are opened, and the first gas charging valve 43, the second gas charging valve 44, the first liquid draining valve 41 and the first gas tank valve 471 are closed, the cooling liquid in the secondary side circuit 12 can flow into the drainage unit 21 from the secondary side liquid draining port and be pumped into the liquid storage tank 45 by the first gas-liquid pump 46.

[0075] When the second vent port, the second gas charging valve 44 and the first gas tank valve 471 are opened, and the first gas charging valve 43, the liquid storage tank valve 451, the first liquid draining valve 41 and the second liquid draining valve 42 are closed, the heated gas in the first gas tank 47 is charged into the secondary side circuit 12 by the first gas-liquid pump 46 to dry the cooling liquid that has not been drained in the secondary side circuit 12.

[0076] The first vent port is a gas hole provided on the primary side circuit 11, and the second vent port is a gas hole provided on the secondary side circuit 12. The first vent port and the second vent port can be the original liquid draining port of the primary side circuit 11 and the secondary side circuit 12, or can be gas holes specially provided on the primary side circuit 11 and the secondary side circuit 12 for venting. During drying, the corresponding gas holes can be opened to maintain the balance of the air pressure inside and outside the system, and the water vapor generated by the evaporation of the cooling liquid under the action of the heated gas can be discharged through the gas holes to ensure the drying of the circuit.

[0077] The above embodiment, by connecting the first drain valve 41 with the primary side drain port, and connecting the second drain valve 42 with the secondary side drain port, can perform the cooling liquid discharge operation for the primary side circuit 11 and the secondary side circuit 12 respectively. When the corresponding drain valve and the liquid tank valve 451 are opened, and other valves are closed, the cooling liquid can flow from the corresponding circuit into the drain unit 21, and be efficiently pumped into the liquid tank 45 by the suction action of the first gas-liquid pump 46, realizing independent and accurate discharge of cooling liquid of different circuits, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of liquid discharge. The first gas tank 47 is provided with a heating resistance wire 48, which can heat the gas in the tank. During the drying stage, when the corresponding air inlet, air charging valve and first gas tank valve 471 are opened, and other valves are closed, the heated gas can be charged into the corresponding circuit through the first gas-liquid pump 46, and the heat of the hot gas can evaporate the residual cooling liquid, thereby realizing the drying treatment of the circuit, effectively removing the residual cooling liquid, and avoiding the adverse consequences such as corrosion and performance influence of the residual cooling liquid on the circuit.

[0078] It should be noted that the above-mentioned liquid discharge device 10 is arranged between the primary and secondary side circuits, which can also effectively shorten the pumping distance, reduce the pumping head of the first gas-liquid pump 46, and improve the pumping efficiency.

[0079] Based on Figure 4 The liquid cooling system in the embodiment can further include a first liquid level sensor and a second liquid level sensor. The first liquid level sensor can be used to detect the liquid level in the primary side circuit 11, and the second liquid level sensor can be used to detect the liquid level in the secondary side circuit 12.

[0080] Correspondingly, the liquid discharge device 10 can further include a control unit, configured to control the second air charging valve 44, the liquid tank valve 451, the first drain valve 41 and the second drain valve 42 to be closed, and control the first air inlet, the first air charging valve 43 and the first gas tank valve 471 to be opened, when receiving a first drain instruction and the detection value of the first liquid level sensor is lower than a preset liquid level. The control unit is also configured to control the first air charging valve 43, the liquid tank valve 451, the first drain valve 41 and the second drain valve 42 to be closed, and control the second air inlet, the second air charging valve 44 and the first gas tank valve 471 to be opened, when receiving a second drain instruction and the detection value of the second liquid level sensor is lower than a preset liquid level.

[0081] The first drain instruction is used to indicate the liquid discharge of the primary side circuit 11, and the second drain instruction is used to indicate the liquid discharge of the secondary side circuit 12.

[0082] In this embodiment, each valve in the liquid draining device 10 can be an electric valve, and is electrically connected to the control unit. The first liquid level sensor and the second liquid level sensor are also electrically connected to the control unit. The first liquid level sensor can monitor the liquid level of the primary side circuit 11 in real time and send the monitoring data to the control unit in real time. The second liquid level sensor can monitor the liquid level of the secondary side circuit 12 in real time and also send the monitoring data to the control unit in real time.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the control unit receives a first liquid draining instruction, the first liquid draining valve 41 and the liquid storage tank valve 451 are opened, and the remaining valves are closed, so as to drain the cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11. During this process, when it is detected that the detection value of the first liquid level sensor is lower than the preset liquid level, the first vent, the first air charging valve 43, and the first air tank valve 471 are opened, and the remaining valves are closed, so as to dry the residual cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11, thereby realizing automatic liquid draining and drying of the primary side circuit 11. When the control unit receives a second liquid draining instruction, the second liquid draining valve 42 and the liquid storage tank valve 451 are opened, and the remaining valves are closed, so as to drain the cooling liquid in the secondary side circuit 12. During this process, when it is detected that the detection value of the second liquid level sensor is lower than the preset liquid level, the second vent, the second air charging valve 44, and the first air tank valve 471 are opened, and the remaining valves are closed, so as to dry the residual cooling liquid in the secondary side circuit 12, thereby realizing automatic liquid draining and drying of the secondary side circuit 12.

[0084] Corresponding to the above-mentioned liquid draining device 10, the present embodiment also provides a control method of the liquid draining device 10, as shown in Figure 5 The control method comprises the following steps:

[0085] In step 501, when a first liquid draining instruction is received, the first liquid draining valve 41 and the liquid storage tank valve 451 are opened, and the second liquid draining valve 42, the first air charging valve 43, the second air charging valve 44, and the first air tank valve 471 are closed.

[0086] In step 502, after the first liquid draining valve 41 and the liquid storage tank valve 451 are opened, the first air-liquid dual-purpose pump 46 is controlled to operate in the liquid pump mode to drain the liquid in the primary side circuit 11.

[0087] In step 503, during the process of draining the liquid in the primary side circuit 11, when the detection value of the first liquid level sensor is lower than the preset liquid level, the first liquid draining valve 41 and the liquid storage tank valve 451 are closed, the first vent, the first air charging valve 43, and the first air tank valve 471 are opened, and the first air-liquid dual-purpose pump 46 is switched from the liquid pump mode to the air pump mode, so as to pump the gas in the first air tank 47 into the primary side circuit 11 and dry the residual cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11.

[0088] Step 504, when receiving the second draining instruction, control the second draining valve 42 and the liquid tank valve 451 to open, and control the first draining valve 41, the first charging valve 43, the second charging valve 44 and the first gas tank valve 471 to close.

[0089] Step 505, after the second draining valve 42 and the liquid tank valve 451 are opened, control the first gas-liquid pump 46 to run in the liquid pump mode to drain the secondary side circuit 12.

[0090] Step 506, during the process of draining the secondary side circuit 12, when the detection value of the second liquid level sensor is lower than the preset liquid level, control the second draining valve 42 and the liquid tank valve 451 to close, and control the second vent, the second charging valve 44, the first gas tank valve 471 to open, and control the first gas-liquid pump 46 to switch from the liquid pump mode to the gas pump mode to pump the gas in the first gas tank 47 into the secondary side circuit 12 to dry the cooling liquid that has not been drained in the secondary side circuit 12.

[0091] The control method of the draining device 10 in the above embodiment can realize effective draining and drying treatment of the cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11 and the secondary side circuit 12, and has the following remarkable effects:

[0092] 1) High-efficiency draining can be realized. When receiving the corresponding draining instruction, the corresponding draining valve and the liquid tank valve 451 can be quickly and accurately opened, and the irrelevant valves can be closed to ensure the smoothness of the draining path. Then the first gas-liquid pump 46 is controlled to run in the liquid pump mode to perform the draining operation on the primary side circuit or the secondary side circuit by using the pumping action of the pump. This targeted control enables the cooling liquid to be quickly and efficiently drained from the corresponding circuit and discharged into the designated liquid tank, improving the draining efficiency and reducing the time and energy consumption required for draining.

[0093] 2) Precise liquid level control can be realized. During the draining process, the liquid level in the circuit is monitored in real time by the liquid level sensor. When the detection value of the liquid level sensor is lower than the preset liquid level, the corresponding draining valve and the liquid tank valve 451 are closed in time to avoid the empty pumping of the pump, protect the safe operation of the pump body and the entire system, and also prevent unnecessary residual cooling liquid. This precise liquid level control measure ensures the accuracy and reliability of the draining process, ensures that the system operates according to the predetermined process, and reduces the possibility of human intervention and misoperation.

[0094] 3) can realize effective drying. After the liquid level reaches the preset low position, the first gas-liquid pump 46 is automatically switched to the gas pump mode, and the corresponding air vent, air filling valve and first gas tank valve 471 are opened, the gas in the first gas storage tank 47 is pumped into the circuit. The introduction of gas can effectively dry the cooling liquid not pumped out in the circuit, avoid the adverse effects of cooling liquid residue on the circuit, such as corrosion, scaling, etc., help to keep the circuit clean and stable performance, and prolong the service life of the system.

[0095] 4) Two sides of the circuit are independently operated, and the flexibility is high. For the primary side circuit and the secondary side circuit, independent liquid discharge instructions can be received for respective liquid discharge and drying operations. This way of independent control of the circuit makes the system more flexible and operable, can meet the cooling liquid treatment needs of different circuits under different working conditions, and improves the adaptability of the system to complex working environments.

[0096] In summary, the control method in the above embodiment can realize efficient and accurate discharge and drying treatment of the cooling liquid of the primary side circuit 11 and the secondary side circuit 12 through reasonable valve control, pump mode switching, and liquid level monitoring and feedback. At the same time, the above control method also brings beneficial effects in improving the safety and stability of the system and enhancing the adaptability of the system, providing a strong guarantee for the reliable operation of the entire system.

[0097] Figure 6 The structure of the liquid discharge device 10 provided by another specific embodiment of the application is shown.

[0098] Referring to Figure 6 , the drainage unit 21 can include a first liquid discharge valve 41, a second liquid discharge valve 42, a liquid storage tank 45, a liquid storage tank valve 451 arranged at the inlet end of the liquid storage tank 45, a second gas-liquid pump 62, and a third gas-liquid pump 63. The drying unit 22 can include a first air filling valve 43, a second air filling valve 44, a second gas-liquid pump 62, a third gas-liquid pump 63, a second gas storage tank 64, a second gas tank valve 641 arranged at the outlet end of the second gas storage tank 64, a third gas storage tank 65, and a third gas tank valve 651 arranged at the outlet end of the third gas storage tank 65.

[0099] Among them, the second gas storage tank 64 and the third gas storage tank 65 each store gas with a temperature higher than a preset temperature. The liquid discharge device 10 further includes a first valve 66, a second valve 67, and a third valve 68.

[0100] As Figure 6As shown, the inlet of the second gas-liquid pump 62 is connected with the first liquid discharge valve 41, the second gas tank valve 641 and the first end of the third valve 68 respectively; the outlet of the second gas-liquid pump 62 is connected with the first gas filling valve 43 and the first end of the first valve 66 respectively. The inlet of the third gas-liquid pump 63 is connected with the second liquid discharge valve 42, the third gas tank valve 651 and the second end of the third valve 68 respectively; the outlet of the third gas-liquid pump 63 is connected with the second gas filling valve 44 and the first end of the second valve 67 respectively. The liquid tank valve 451 is connected with the second end of the first valve 66 and the second end of the second valve 67 respectively.

[0101] The liquid discharge device 10 in the embodiment is provided with two gas-liquid pumps, and through the opening and closing cooperation of the valves, various liquid discharge modes can be realized. For example, the two side circuits can be simultaneously discharged and dried by one gas-liquid pump respectively; for another example, the liquid in any side circuit can be discharged and dried by two gas-liquid pumps; for another example, the liquid in one side circuit can be discharged by one gas-liquid pump, while the residual liquid in the other side circuit can be dried by the other gas-liquid pump. The liquid discharge processes of the above-mentioned liquid discharge modes will be described as follows:

[0102] Liquid discharge mode one: the two side circuits are simultaneously discharged and dried by one gas-liquid pump respectively.

[0103] The first liquid discharge valve 41, the second liquid discharge valve 42, the first valve 66, the second valve 67 and the liquid tank valve 451 are opened, and the first gas filling valve 43, the second gas filling valve 44, the third valve 68, the second gas tank valve 641 and the third gas tank valve 651 are closed. The second gas-liquid pump 62 and the third gas-liquid pump 63 are started to run in the liquid pump mode, and the cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11 is pumped out to the liquid tank 45 by the second gas-liquid pump 62, and the cooling liquid in the secondary side circuit 12 is pumped out to the liquid tank 45 by the third gas-liquid pump 63.

[0104] When the liquid levels of the primary side circuit 11 and the secondary side circuit 12 are both lowered to a certain degree, the first gas vent, the second gas vent, the first gas filling valve 43, the second gas filling valve 44, the second gas tank valve 641 and the third gas tank valve 651 are opened, and the first liquid discharge valve 41, the second liquid discharge valve 42, the first valve 66, the second valve 67, the third valve 68 and the liquid tank valve 451 are closed. The second gas-liquid pump 62 and the third gas-liquid pump 63 are started to run in the liquid pump mode, the gas in the second gas tank 64 is filled into the primary side circuit 11 by the second gas-liquid pump 62 to dry the cooling liquid not pumped out in the primary side circuit 11, and the gas in the third gas tank 65 is filled into the secondary side circuit 12 by the third gas-liquid pump 63 to dry the cooling liquid not pumped out in the secondary side circuit 12.

[0105] This drainage mode is suitable for scenarios where both sides of the circuit need to be drained at the same time. Both sides of the circuit can be drained and dried simultaneously, which can improve the efficiency of the drainage. At the same time, the above drainage mode one is also suitable for scenarios where only one side of the circuit needs to be drained. At this time, only the single-sided valve and the gas-liquid pump need to be opened.

[0106] Drainage mode two: one side of the circuit is drained and dried by two gas-liquid pumps.

[0107] Take the drainage and drying process of the primary side circuit 11 as an example:

[0108] Open the first drainage valve 41, the liquid tank valve 451, the first valve 66, the second valve 67 and the third valve 68, close the first air charging valve 43, the second air charging valve 44, the second drainage valve 42, the second gas tank valve 641 and the third gas tank valve 651. Start the second gas-liquid pump 62 and the third gas-liquid pump 63 in the liquid pump mode. The cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11 is pumped out to the liquid tank 45 by the second gas-liquid pump 62 and the third gas-liquid pump 63.

[0109] When the liquid level of the primary side circuit 11 drops to a certain extent, close the first drainage valve 41, the liquid tank valve 451 and the third valve 68, open the second gas tank valve 641, the third gas tank valve 651 and the first air charging valve 43, and the remaining valves remain unchanged. Switch the second gas-liquid pump 62 and the third gas-liquid pump 63 to the gas pump mode. The high-temperature gas in the second gas tank 64 is charged into the primary side circuit 11 through the second gas-liquid pump 62, and the high-temperature gas in the third gas tank 65 is charged into the primary side circuit 11 through the third gas-liquid pump 63, which dries the remaining cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11.

[0110] The above-mentioned drainage mode two is suitable for liquid cooling systems with large drainage volume or limited drainage time.

[0111] For example, when draining the cooling circulation circuit of a large steel smelting equipment, due to the large size of the primary side circuit, complex pipeline and large amount of cooling liquid storage, two gas-liquid pumps working together can speed up the drainage speed and improve the maintenance efficiency. When the equipment needs to be maintained or repaired, the primary side circuit needs to be drained and dried. This drainage mode can more efficiently handle a large amount of cooling liquid. Moreover, large equipment has higher requirements for drying. By providing high-temperature gas from two gas tanks, more sufficient high-temperature gas can be provided to ensure that the remaining cooling liquid in the complex pipeline is completely dried, preventing the equipment from rusting or corroding due to residual cooling liquid, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment in subsequent operation.

[0112] For example, large transformers and other equipment in power substations use liquid cooling systems to maintain normal operating temperature. When maintaining the primary cooling circuit of these devices, the cooling liquid needs to be drained and the circuit needs to be dried. Due to the importance of electrical equipment and the strict requirements for stable operation, two gas-liquid pumps are used to work simultaneously to complete the liquid draining process in a short time, reduce equipment downtime, and reduce the impact on power supply. At the same time, sufficient high-temperature gas drying can effectively remove moisture in the circuit, avoid electrical faults such as short circuit and leakage caused by a humid environment, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0113] Draining mode three: one side of the circuit discharges liquid while the other side of the circuit dries residual liquid.

[0114] For example, the primary circuit 11 is drained and the secondary circuit 12 is dried:

[0115] The first draining valve 41, the liquid tank valve 451, the first valve 66, the second gas charging valve 44, and the third gas tank valve 651 are opened, and the first gas charging valve 43, the second draining valve 42, the second gas tank valve 641, the second valve 67, and the third valve 68 are closed. The second gas-liquid pump 62 is started to operate in liquid pump mode, and the third gas-liquid pump 63 is started to operate in gas pump mode. The cooling liquid in the primary circuit enters the second gas-liquid pump 62 through the first draining valve 41, then enters the liquid tank 45 through the first valve 66 and the liquid tank valve 451, and the high-temperature gas in the third gas tank 65 enters the third gas-liquid pump 63 through the third gas tank valve 651, then enters the secondary circuit through the second gas charging valve 44 to dry the residual cooling liquid in the secondary circuit.

[0116] The application scenario of the above-mentioned draining mode three can be when the liquid level of the secondary circuit 12 is already low to the preset liquid level, while the liquid level of the primary circuit 11 is still high. At this time, the draining device 10 can still be controlled to drain the primary circuit 11, while drying the secondary circuit 12.

[0117] It should be understood that Figure 6 The control method of the draining device 10 shown can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions. For example, a plurality of draining modes can be preset in the main control unit of the draining device 10. The main control unit can select the corresponding draining mode to flexibly control the valves and pumps according to the draining mode instruction input by the user, so as to meet various draining requirements and improve the draining efficiency of the liquid cooling system.

[0118] In some embodiments, based on Figure 6The shown liquid discharge device 10 can also have two liquid storage tanks 45, one for storing the cooling liquid discharged from the primary side circuit 11 and the other for storing the cooling liquid discharged from the secondary side circuit 12. In this way, when the cooling liquid in the primary side circuit 11 and the secondary side circuit 12 has different compositions, the two kinds of cooling liquid can be stored separately, and the discharged cooling liquid can be reused in subsequent production debugging processes and the like under the condition that the performance requirements are met, thereby avoiding the problem that the mixed cooling liquid cannot be reused and helping to reduce costs.

[0119] The embodiment of the present application also provides a liquid cooling system, comprising the primary side circuit 11, the secondary side circuit 12 and the liquid discharge device 10 in any of the above embodiments.
