[0058] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0059] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. The terms "first", "second", etc. in this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0060] First, the terms involved in this application are explained:
[0061] Manifold: Manifold is a water distribution and collection device used to connect various water systems.
[0062] Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) is a device used to efficiently distribute cooling liquid in data centers, laboratories or industrial environments. Its main function is to provide precise cooling liquid distribution for servers, cabinets or other high-heat equipment to ensure that the equipment operates at an appropriate temperature.
[0063] Directional cooling cold plate: A directional cooling cold plate is a single-fluid heat exchanger whose internal channels are designed with specific directionality to guide the cooling medium, such as liquids such as water and ethylene glycol or gases such as air, to flow along a predetermined path. When the heat source, such as heat generated by electronic components, is transferred to the cold plate, the cooling medium flows away the heat to achieve a heat dissipation effect. Since the flow direction of the cooling medium is predetermined, directional cooling can be achieved, improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0064] Immersion server liquid cooling system: The immersion server liquid cooling system uses the high thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of liquid to directly immerse the electronic components that generate heat inside the server, such as the CPU, GPU, and memory, in an insulating, non-corrosive coolant. The coolant cools the server by absorbing the heat generated by the electronic components. After the heat is absorbed by the coolant, the coolant is transported to the heat exchanger through a circulating pump to exchange heat with the external environment and dissipate the heat. The cooled coolant then returns to the server to continue absorbing heat, forming a closed-loop cycle.
[0065] BMC: Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The main functions of BMC include remote server management, hardware health monitoring, power control management, remote restart and firmware update.
[0066] In order to solve the problem of reduced utilization efficiency of the prototype immersion cooling system in the related art, the embodiments of the present application propose the following technical concepts: the inventors considered setting a plurality of first control valves and a plurality of first sensor components on the first connecting pipeline between the liquid inlet end of the electronic device to be tested and the liquid outlet end of the first water distributor, and setting a plurality of second control valves and a plurality of second sensor components on the second connecting pipeline between the liquid outlet end of the electronic device to be tested and the liquid inlet end of the second water distributor, considering controlling the circulation of the coolant of the electronic device to be tested by the first control valve and the second control valve, considering using the first sensor component and the second sensor component to collect parameter information of the electronic device to be tested, adjusting the internal working state of the coolant distribution unit according to the parameter information collected by the first sensor component and the second sensor component through the coolant distribution unit to adapt to the flow and flow resistance characteristics of different electronic devices to be tested. Compared with the related art, there is no need to redesign the coolant distribution unit according to the flow and flow resistance characteristics of each electronic device to be tested, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the prototype immersion cooling system.

[0163] Specifically, when the working pressure of the electronic node is lower than the working pressure of the closed system, the pressure inside the system is controlled by adjusting the opening of the liquid storage valve to adapt to the working pressure of the electronic node.
[0164] The primary side pipeline and the secondary side pipeline pass through both sides of the heat exchanger respectively.
[0165] In this embodiment, the primary side pipeline and the secondary side pipeline transfer heat in a non-contact manner through the wall surface inside the heat exchanger to achieve cooling of the coolant.

[0167] Exemplarily, the external refrigeration equipment includes, but is not limited to, a cooling tower, a dry cooler, and a chiller.
[0168] Among them, chillers include air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers.
[0169] In this embodiment, the coolant of the external refrigeration equipment flows into the primary side liquid supply pipeline through the liquid supply end of the primary side pipeline, exchanges heat with the secondary side pipeline through the heat exchanger of the coolant distribution unit to reduce the temperature of the secondary side pipeline, and the coolant of the external refrigeration equipment flows out from the primary side return pipeline and returns to the external refrigeration equipment.

[0176] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The flow rate power curves of the liquid extraction device at speeds of 500rpm, 1000rpm, 1500rpm, 2000rpm, 2500rpm, 2800rpm and 3000rpm are recorded in. Under any pressure, the secondary side pipeline cannot achieve a wide range of flow rate adjustment. Figure 3 In the area below the lowest speed and above the highest speed, there is an area that cannot be covered by the flow of the liquid extraction device. For example, at a speed of 500 rpm, within the pressure range of the system, the maximum flow of the liquid extraction device does not exceed 20 lpm. For different electronic nodes, when the flow required by the electronic node is greater than 20 lpm, the cooling effect of the system on the electronic node is reduced.
[0177] In this embodiment, when the flow rate required by the system is lower than the adjustable range of the liquid extraction device, the bypass valve is opened so that the liquid extraction device is in a forward working state. The liquid extraction device directs part of the coolant in the secondary side pipeline through the liquid bypass and flows into the liquid storage tank, thereby reducing the coolant flow rate of the secondary side pipeline entering the electronic node.
[0178] In this embodiment, when the flow rate required by the system is higher than the adjustable range of the liquid extraction device, the bypass valve is opened to put the liquid extraction device into a reverse working state. The liquid extraction device extracts the coolant from the liquid storage tank, passes through the liquid bypass, and flows into the secondary side pipeline, thereby increasing the coolant flow rate of the secondary side pipeline entering the electronic node.
[0179] One end of the liquid bypass is communicated with the secondary side liquid supply pipeline.
[0180] The other end of the liquid bypass is communicated with the liquid storage tank.
[0181] Liquid bypasses the heat exchanger.
[0182] In this embodiment, the liquid bypass passes through the heat exchanger and is located between the primary side pipeline and the secondary side pipeline, and is in parallel with the primary side pipeline and the secondary side pipeline.
[0183] It can be seen from the above embodiments that by setting a liquid bypass and a bypass valve, when the required flow rate is lower than the adjustable range of the liquid extraction device, part of the coolant is allowed to flow into the liquid storage tank through the bypass by controlling the valve; when the required flow rate is higher than the adjustable range of the liquid extraction device, the coolant in the liquid storage tank is allowed to enter the secondary side liquid supply pipeline through the bypass, thereby improving the adaptability of the coolant distribution unit to the flow rates of different electronic nodes.
[0184] In one embodiment of the present application, the coolant distribution unit further includes: a control system;
[0185] The control system is electrically connected to the first control valve, the second control valve and the liquid storage tank.
[0186] It can be seen from the above embodiments that by controlling the first control valve and the second control valve on each of the first connecting pipelines and the second connecting pipelines through the control system, the cooling capacity of different electronic nodes can be tested separately; by controlling the liquid storage valve of the liquid storage tank, the atmospheric pressure in the coolant distribution unit can be adjusted from zero.
[0187] In one embodiment of the present application, the cooling liquid distribution unit further includes: a display panel; the display panel is used to display the pressure information and temperature information of the liquid cooling test system.
[0188] In this embodiment, the display panel is used to display the pressure information and temperature information of each electronic node in the electronic device to be tested.
