Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of infrastructure and IT support technology, and in particular to a tower-cooled magnetic suspension multi-connected pumping refrigeration system. Background Art
[0002] Data centers are one of the important infrastructures of modern communication networks and are a high-density energy-consuming industry. A large number of servers, storage devices, switches, and hundreds of billions of chips consume a lot of energy during operation, which generates a lot of heat. As a result, the energy consumption of cooling accounts for more than 60% of the energy consumption of auxiliary facilities.
[0003] In data centers with related technologies, the cooling system is mainly composed of chilled water system and air-cooled direct expansion system (i.e. air conditioning refrigeration system). The chilled water system is complex to control, large in scale, and has low efficiency under low load, so it is difficult for the actual operating efficiency to reach the expected value; although the air-cooled direct expansion system is simple to control and can support distributed deployment, it has a low energy consumption ratio, which is contrary to the development direction of green data centers. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention is based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems:
[0005] There are four problems with the cooling system in the related technology. The first is adaptability. The load of the data center increases gradually, but the cooling system has the same cooling effect on each point in the data center. It can only be adjusted as a whole, not locally, which makes it difficult for the cooling system to adapt to green and efficient operation under various load conditions. The second is compatibility. The cooling system is large in scale, which makes the cooling system incompatible with the energy-saving transformation of old data centers and the rapid deployment of new data centers. The third is energy efficiency. The cooling system is not adjusted according to the actual operating conditions, and the actual operating energy efficiency ratio of the cooling technology is low. The fourth is the reliability of the data center. The heat dissipation and cooling of the refrigeration equipment affect each other, resulting in the cooling effect cannot be guaranteed.
[0006] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0032] The tower-cooled magnetic suspension multi-connected pumping refrigeration system of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the tower-cooled magnetic suspension multi-connected pumping refrigeration system of an embodiment of the present invention includes: a magnetic suspension compressor 1, a condenser 2, a refrigerant pump 3, an evaporator 4 and an equalizer 7.
[0034] Among them, the evaporator 4 is the indoor side equipment of the refrigeration system, and the magnetic levitation compressor 1, the condenser 2 and the refrigerant pump 3 are the outdoor side equipment of the refrigeration system. The magnetic levitation compressor 1, the condenser 2, the refrigerant pump 3 and the evaporator 4 are connected in sequence through pipelines to form a circulating cooling loop. There are multiple evaporators 4, and adjacent evaporators 4 are connected through pipelines. Multiple evaporators 4 are respectively arranged at various cooling points in the data center.
[0035] The refrigerant pump 3 is used to pump the refrigerant from the condenser 2 into the multiple evaporators 4 respectively, so as to use the refrigerant to cool down the data center. The refrigerant from the multiple evaporators 4 that has absorbed the heat of the data center is compressed by the magnetic levitation compressor 1 and then transported to the condenser 2.
[0036] The refrigerant pump 3 is selected according to the type of refrigerant. For example, if the refrigerant is Freon, the refrigerant pump 3 is a fluorine pump. The magnetic levitation compressor 1 makes the whole system free of lubricating oil, and the whole system is pure refrigerant, which is more efficient and suitable for large refrigeration capacity requirements.
[0037] A first flow valve 5 is provided on the inlet pipeline between the refrigerant pump 3 and each evaporator 4, and a second flow valve 6 is provided on the connecting pipeline between adjacent evaporators 4 on the inlet side of the first flow valve 5. The opening degree of the first flow valve 5 and the second flow valve 6 is adjusted to control the amount of refrigerant delivered to each evaporator 4 by the refrigerant pump 3.
[0038] It can be understood that the first flow valve 5 is used to control the amount of refrigerant flowing into the evaporator 4, and the second flow valve 6 is used to control the amount of refrigerant flowing into other evaporators 4. According to the load requirements at different points of the data center, by adjusting the opening of the first flow valve 5 and the second flow valve 6, the refrigerant at the inlet of the evaporator 4 with more refrigerant is compensated to the evaporator 4 with less refrigerant, so that each evaporator 4 can correspond to a load condition, thereby satisfying the system to adapt to various load conditions.
[0039] The refrigerant inlet of the equalizer 7 is connected to multiple evaporators 4, so that the refrigerants flowing out of the multiple evaporators 4 are collected in the equalizer 7 for mixed heating. Since each evaporator 4 corresponds to different load conditions, the vaporization degree of the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator 4 is different. Therefore, by setting the equalizer 7, the vaporization of the liquid refrigerant is promoted and the consistency of the vaporization degree is improved, so as to facilitate the subsequent treatment of the refrigerant.
[0040] The equalizer 7 is connected to the refrigerant inlet of the magnetic levitation compressor 1 and the refrigerant inlet of the condenser 2 , so that the refrigerant flowing out of the equalizer 7 can selectively enter at least one of the magnetic levitation compressor 1 and the condenser 2 .
[0041] It is understandable that, according to the outdoor ambient temperature, it is selected whether the refrigerant flowing out of the equalizer 7 flows into the magnetic levitation compressor 1 first and then into the condenser 2, or flows directly into the condenser 2, or flows into the magnetic levitation compressor 1 first and then into the condenser 2, and flows into the condenser 2 directly. In this way, not only the refrigeration system can adapt to the operation in different environments and improve the compatibility of the system, but also the refrigeration system can adapt to the operation in different seasons, achieve the purpose of energy saving, and thus solve the problem of high energy consumption of refrigeration technology in related technologies throughout the year.
[0042] Optionally, the tower-cooled magnetically suspended multi-connected pumping refrigeration system of the embodiment of the present invention has a first mode, a second mode and a third mode.
[0043] When the ambient temperature of the condenser 2 is higher than the preset range, for example, in summer or in hot areas, the refrigeration system operates in the first mode. Due to the high ambient temperature, the condensation of the refrigerant cannot be satisfied, and the refrigerant in the equalizer 7 flows to the magnetic levitation compressor 1 for compression first, and the compressed refrigerant flows to the condenser 2 for condensation.
[0044] When the ambient temperature of the condenser 2 is lower than the preset range, for example, in winter or in cold regions, the refrigeration system operates in the second mode. Since the ambient temperature is low and can meet the condensation of the refrigerant, all the refrigerant in the equalizer 7 flows directly to the condenser 2 for condensation.
[0045] When the ambient temperature of the condenser 2 is within the preset range, for example, in spring and autumn or in areas with normal temperature, the refrigeration system operates in the third mode. At this time, the ambient temperature is normal. If condensation is performed only by the ambient temperature, the condensation effect is not good. If all of it is compressed by the magnetic levitation compressor 1, it will lead to excessive energy consumption. Therefore, part of the refrigerant in the equalizer 7 flows to the magnetic levitation compressor 1 for compression, and the other part flows directly to the condenser 2. The two parts of the refrigerant are neutralized, thereby ensuring the condensation effect while achieving the purpose of energy saving.
[0046] Furthermore, the equalizer 7 is connected to the condenser 2, so as to utilize the heat released by the refrigerant in the condenser 2 after heat exchange to heat the refrigerant in the equalizer 7. That is, the heat released by the refrigerant in the condenser 2 after heat exchange is utilized as the heat source of the equalizer 7, thereby improving energy utilization and reducing overall energy consumption.
[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, a thermometer 8 is provided on the outlet pipeline of the evaporator 4, and the thermometer 8 is used to detect the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of each evaporator 4, and the opening of the corresponding first flow valve 5 and the second flow valve 6 is adjusted according to the temperature detected by the thermometer 8.
[0048] It is understandable that the refrigerant flows into the evaporator 4 to remove the heat generated by the operation of the data center, so that the data center is kept at a constant temperature. That is, the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of each evaporator 4 is within a specified range.
[0049] When the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator 4 detected by the thermometer 8 is higher than the specified range, the opening of the corresponding first flow valve 5 is increased, and the opening of the corresponding second flow valve 6 is reduced, so that the amount of refrigerant flowing into the evaporator 4 is increased, and the amount of refrigerant flowing from the evaporator 4 to other evaporators 4 is reduced. Alternatively, the opening of the corresponding second flow valve 6 is increased at the same time, so that the amount of refrigerant flowing from other evaporators 4 to the evaporator 4 is increased.
[0050] On the contrary, when the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator 4 detected by the thermometer 8 is lower than the specified range, the opening of the corresponding first flow valve 5 is reduced, and the opening of the corresponding second flow valve 6 is increased, so that the amount of refrigerant flowing into the evaporator 4 is reduced, and the amount of refrigerant flowing from the evaporator 4 to other evaporators 4 is increased. Alternatively, the opening of the corresponding second flow valve 6 is reduced at the same time, so that the amount of refrigerant flowing from other evaporators 4 to the evaporator 4 is reduced.
[0051] Therefore, according to the actual operating conditions of each point in the data center, real-time monitoring is performed through the thermometer 8, and the opening of the first flow valve 5 and the second flow valve 6 corresponding to each evaporator 4 is reasonably adjusted to ensure the effectiveness of energy saving.
[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, a deliquidator 71 is provided in the equalizer 7 , and the deliquidator 71 is used to filter the refrigerant heated in the equalizer 7 and then transported to the magnetic levitation compressor 1 .
[0053] Therefore, the liquid refrigerant is filtered by the deliquidator 71, thereby reducing the risk of liquid refrigerant entering the compressor and causing liquid hammer, which affects system operation and compressor life.
[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the condenser 2 has a heat exchange chamber 201 and a heat dissipation chamber 202 which are connected.
[0055] The heat exchange chamber 201 is provided with a spraying member 21 and a heat exchange member 22. The spraying member 21 is used to spray cooling water to the heat exchange member 22. The condenser 2 is provided with an air inlet connected to the heat exchange chamber 201 and an air outlet connected to the heat dissipation chamber 202. The heat dissipation chamber 202 is provided with an air induction member 23, which is used to guide the air in the external environment to enter the heat exchange chamber 201 through the air inlet.
[0056] The refrigerant flowing into the condenser 2 exchanges heat and cools down with the cooling water and a part of the air entering the heat exchange chamber 201 in the heat exchange element 22. After the refrigerant condenses in the heat exchange element 22, it is pumped back to the evaporator 4 through the refrigerant pump 3. The cooling water after heat exchange is cooled down with another part of the air entering the heat exchange chamber 201, and then flows back to the spray element 21 for recycling. The air after heat exchange in the heat exchange chamber 201 flows into the heat dissipation chamber 202 and is discharged from the condenser 2 through the air outlet.
[0057] Thus, the refrigerant is cooled by both air cooling and water cooling in the condenser 2, thereby improving the heat exchange effect. In addition, the wind can diffuse the sprayed water, accelerate the evaporation of the water, further improve the heat exchange effect, and thus reduce energy consumption.
[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet of the condenser 2 is connected to the equalizer 7 via a pipeline, so that the heat in the air after heat exchange discharged from the condenser 2 is used as a heat source of the equalizer 7, thereby heating the refrigerant in the equalizer 7.
[0059] It should be noted that there are two waste heats in the condenser 2, one in the spray water after heat exchange, and the other in the wind flow discharged from the air outlet. In order to reduce the complexity of the structure, the waste heat in the wind flow is selected as the heat source of the equalizer 7. After the waste heat is utilized, it can be directly discharged from the equalizer 7 to the external environment.
[0060] In addition, since the condenser 2 directly introduces wind flow from the external environment on the side, if the air outlet of the condenser 2 directly discharges the wind flow after heat exchange in the heat dissipation cavity 202, it will cause the ambient temperature around the condenser 2 to rise, affecting the condensation effect of the condenser 2. However, the wind flow discharged from the condenser 2 is led to the equalizer 7 at a certain distance and then discharged after use, thereby avoiding the impact on the condenser 2.
[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchange chamber 201 and the heat dissipation chamber 202 are arranged in parallel, the spraying element 21 and the heat exchange element 22 are both located at the upper part of the heat exchange chamber 201, and the spraying element 21 is located above the heat exchange element 22. The air inlet of the condenser 2 includes a first air inlet and a second air inlet, the first air inlet and the air outlet are both arranged on the top wall of the upper part of the condenser 2, and the second air inlet is arranged on the side wall of the lower part of the condenser 2.
[0062] It is understandable that the cold air entering the heat exchange chamber 201 from the first air inlet flows downward through the heat exchange element 22 together with the sprayed cooling water to condense the refrigerant in the heat exchange element 22. The cold air entering the heat exchange chamber 201 from the second air inlet is used to cool the cooling water passing through the heat exchange element 22.
[0063] Therefore, in the spatial layout inside the condenser 2, an induced draft fan is arranged on one side of the heat exchange element 22 to extract the hot air after heat exchange. Compared with the related art in which the fan is arranged above the heat exchange structure and affects the heat exchange effect, the present invention, through structural changes, does not allow the hot air after heat exchange to affect the heat exchange in the heat exchange chamber 201, thereby improving the heat exchange effect and reducing energy consumption.
[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, a filler 24 is provided in the heat exchange chamber 201, and the filler 24 is located below the heat exchange element 22, so that cooling water falls into the filler 24, and the cold air flowing into the heat exchange chamber 201 through the second air inlet on the side is used for heat exchange and cooling, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.
[0065] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet are provided on the side wall of the condenser 2. The heat exchange element 22 includes a distribution main pipe 221, a drainage main pipe 222, and a plurality of heat exchange plates 223 provided between the distribution main pipe 221 and the drainage main pipe 222. The distribution main pipe 221 is connected to the refrigerant inlet, the drainage main pipe 222 is connected to the refrigerant outlet, and a heat exchange channel is defined between two adjacent heat exchange plates 223. The distribution main pipe 221 is provided with a plurality of distribution ports 224, which correspond to and are connected with the plurality of heat exchange channels one by one, and the plurality of distribution ports 224 gradually increase in size in the direction away from the refrigerant inlet. The drainage main pipe 222 is provided with a plurality of liquid return ports, which correspond to and are connected with the plurality of heat exchange channels one by one.
[0066] In other words, the present invention adopts a plate-type evaporative condenser 2, which has a higher heat exchange efficiency under the same volume, a smaller volume under the same heat exchange efficiency, and can be more flexibly applied to various building installations.
[0067] It is understandable that after the refrigerant enters the distribution main pipe 221, it is distributed to each heat exchange channel through the distribution port 224. Since the uniformity of the refrigerant distributed to each heat exchange channel affects the heat exchange effect, each distribution port 224 is at a different distance from the refrigerant inlet. Therefore, the area of the distribution port 224 is designed to gradually increase in the direction away from the refrigerant inlet, that is, the farther away from the refrigerant inlet, the larger the area of the distribution port 224, thereby improving the uniformity of the refrigerant distributed to each heat exchange channel, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.
[0068] Furthermore, the heat exchange plates 223 may be tilted, or the heat exchange plates 223 may be corrugated plates, folded plates, etc., so as to increase the residence time of the refrigerant in the heat exchange channel and further improve the heat exchange effect.
[0069] Therefore, by optimizing the spatial layout within the condenser 2, adding filler 24, optimizing the distribution port 224 and the structure of the heat exchange plate 223, a better condensation effect is achieved than the condenser 2 in the related art, making it smaller in size with the same heat exchange efficiency, and more flexibly suitable for installation in various buildings, especially suitable for renovation plans of old data centers with smaller spaces.
[0070] In some embodiments, the distance between two adjacent distribution ports 224 is defined as W, and the cross-sectional area of the distribution main pipe 221 is defined as A, and the relationship is satisfied: A / 30<W<A / 20.
[0071] It is understandable that the relationship between the distribution ports 224 and the distribution main pipe 221 is established to avoid the problem that the distribution ports 224 are too dense, resulting in reduced strength of the distribution main pipe 221, thereby ensuring the rationality of the modified structure.
