Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of testing equipment, and in particular to a heat exchange testing equipment and method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of highly integrated server equipment, the power consumption of servers continues to increase, and the heat generated by various components in the server increases. How to solve the heat dissipation of servers in high heat density scenarios has become an important issue facing the current data center field.

[0003] Liquid cooling technology, especially phase change immersion cooling technology, is widely used in server cooling due to its advantages of high heat dissipation efficiency, high reliability, and low energy consumption. Plate condensers are the core components of phase change immersion cooling technology, and their heat exchange performance affects the heat dissipation efficiency of phase change immersion cooling technology. In the prior art, the power density of components in servers continues to increase, and the traditional single plate condenser can no longer meet the heat exchange requirements. It is usually necessary for staff to connect multiple plate condensers in series for multi-stage heat exchange.

[0004] In the related art, in order to test the total heat exchange capacity after multiple plate condensers are connected in series in multiple stages, multiple single-stage plate condensers are connected in series to form a heat exchange test system, and the total heat exchange capacity is calculated based on the temperature difference before and after the liquid enters the multiple plate condensers. However, the heat exchange test system is large in size and has a high manufacturing cost. Summary of the invention

[0008] A first detection component includes a first sensor for detecting the air pressure in the heat exchange cavity;

[0009] The solution tank comprises a liquid containing cavity, wherein the liquid containing cavity contains a cooling liquid;

[0010] The transmission pipeline comprises a liquid inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe, wherein the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid containing cavity and the liquid inlet, and the liquid outlet pipe is connected to the liquid outlet and the liquid containing cavity;

[0011] A flow regulating valve, arranged on the liquid inlet pipe or the liquid outlet pipe;

[0012] A second detection component is configured to detect the temperature of the liquid in the liquid inlet pipe and the temperature of the liquid in the liquid outlet pipe;

[0013] The temperature control component is configured to heat or cool the liquid in the liquid containing chamber.

[0014] In one embodiment, the second detection component is communicatively connected to the temperature control component.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the heat exchange testing device includes a third detection component, and the third detection component is configured to detect the liquid pressure in the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid pressure in the liquid outlet pipe.

[0016] In one embodiment, the heat exchange test equipment includes a regulating valve assembly, and the regulating valve assembly includes a first regulating valve and a second regulating valve;

[0017] The inlet of the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid containing cavity, the outlet of the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid inlet through the first regulating valve, the liquid outlet is connected to the inlet of the liquid outlet pipe through the second regulating valve, and the outlet of the liquid outlet pipe is connected to the liquid containing cavity.

[0018] In one of the embodiments, the heat exchange test device includes a suction member;

[0019] The liquid inlet pipe comprises a first liquid inlet pipe section and a second liquid inlet pipe section, the inlet of the first liquid inlet pipe section is communicated with the liquid containing cavity, and the outlet of the first liquid inlet pipe section is communicated with the inlet of the suction member;

[0020] The inlet of the second liquid inlet pipe section is connected to the outlet of the suction member, the outlet of the second liquid inlet pipe section is connected to the liquid inlet through the first regulating valve, the flow regulating valve is arranged on the second liquid inlet pipe section, and the second detection component is configured to detect the liquid temperature in the second liquid inlet pipe section.

[0021] In one embodiment, the heat exchange test equipment includes a heating box, the heating box includes a heating chamber and a heating element disposed in the heating chamber, the air inlet and the liquid discharge hole are both connected to the heating chamber, and the heating chamber contains a liquid refrigerant;

[0022] The heating element is configured to heat the liquid refrigerant into the gaseous refrigerant.

[0023] In one embodiment, the heat exchange test equipment includes a delivery pipeline, and the delivery pipeline includes an air inlet pipe and a liquid discharge pipe;

[0024] The inlet of the air inlet pipe is communicated with the heating chamber, the outlet of the air inlet pipe is communicated with the air inlet hole, the inlet of the liquid discharge pipe is communicated with the liquid discharge hole, and the outlet of the liquid discharge pipe is communicated with the heating chamber;

[0025] The heat exchange testing equipment includes a fourth detection component, which is configured to detect the gas temperature in the heat exchange chamber and the liquid temperature in the drain pipe.

[0026] In one embodiment, the first detection component includes a second sensor, and the second sensor is configured to detect the air pressure in the heating chamber.

[0027] When the heat exchange test equipment in this embodiment is working, the tester heats the liquid refrigerant into a gaseous refrigerant, and allows the gaseous refrigerant to pass into the heat exchange chamber through the air inlet hole. In the process of the gaseous refrigerant passing into the heat exchange chamber, the first sensor is used to detect the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber. When the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure, the tester opens the exhaust hole to completely discharge the original gas in the heat exchange chamber to ensure that the remaining space in the heat exchange chamber except the space occupied by the condenser is filled with the gaseous refrigerant subsequently passed into the heat exchange chamber. As the original gas in the heat exchange chamber is completely discharged, the tester begins to open the flow regulating valve to allow the coolant in the liquid chamber to enter the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe, and adjusts the opening size of the flow regulating valve to gradually increase the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber until the flow rate of the coolant reaches the target flow rate. During this process, the coolant entering the cooling chamber absorbs the heat of the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber through the chamber wall of the cooling chamber, and liquefies part of the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber, and then flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid containing chamber through the liquid outlet pipe. At the same time, the tester changes the volume of the gaseous refrigerant introduced into the heat exchange chamber per unit time, so that the speed of the gaseous refrigerant introduced into the heat exchange chamber is greater than / less than / equal to the speed of the condenser liquefying the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber per unit time, thereby ensuring that the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is always equal to the target pressure, the target pressure is less than the ambient pressure, and the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure when the heat exchange box is exploded.

[0028] When the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber reaches the target flow rate, the tester uses the second detection component to detect the coolant temperature in the inlet pipe and the coolant temperature in the outlet pipe, and obtains the heat exchange capacity of the condenser based on the detection parameters of the second detection component and the volume of coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve per unit time. The detection parameters include the coolant temperature in the inlet pipe and the coolant temperature in the outlet pipe.

[0029] It should be noted that since the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber are connected through the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe respectively, the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber will enter the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe, and liquefy the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber, that is, the coolant circulates between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber. The staff can calculate the heat exchange rate of the condenser when the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is equal to the target pressure during each circulation of the coolant of the target flow rate between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber, and superimpose the results of each calculation to obtain the total heat exchange rate of the condenser during multiple circulations of the coolant between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber, and then simulate the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers in series when the coolant flows through multiple condensers in series. It is worth noting that the temperature of the coolant gradually rises during each circulation process between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber. In order to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results, that is, the temperature of the coolant when it enters the cooling chamber during each circulation process is equal to the temperature of the coolant when it flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid chamber during the previous circulation process. The temperature control component will heat or cool the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber according to the detection parameters of the second detection component to keep the temperature of the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber constant, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the coolant in the liquid outlet pipe before flowing back to the liquid chamber is the same as the temperature after flowing back to the liquid chamber.

[0030] To summarize, the heat exchange test equipment in this embodiment circulates the coolant between the liquid chamber and the cooling chamber so that the coolant flows through the same condenser multiple times. This can simulate the calculation of the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers connected in series when the coolant flows through the multiple condensers connected in series, thereby reducing the number of condensers required for the heat exchange test equipment to calculate the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers connected in series, reducing the volume of the heat exchange test equipment, and saving the manufacturing cost of the heat exchange test equipment.

[0031] The present application also proposes a heat exchange test method, which is applied to the heat exchange test device described above, comprising:

[0032] Passing the gaseous refrigerant into the heat exchange cavity through the air inlet;

[0033] Using the first sensor to detect the air pressure in the heat exchange cavity;

[0034] If the gas pressure in the heat exchange cavity is greater than the ambient pressure, the exhaust hole is opened to completely exhaust the original gas in the heat exchange cavity;

[0035] Open the flow regulating valve to allow the coolant in the liquid containing chamber to enter the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe and flow back from the cooling chamber to the liquid containing chamber through the liquid outlet pipe;

[0036] adjusting the flow regulating valve to gradually increase the flow of the coolant flowing through the condenser until the flow of the coolant reaches a target flow, and introducing gas into the heat exchange cavity to make the gas pressure in the heat exchange cavity equal to the target pressure;

[0037] Obtaining the heat exchange of the condenser according to the detection parameters of the second detection component and the volume of the coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve per unit time;

[0038] The detection parameters are obtained through the temperature control component, and the coolant flowing back into the liquid containing cavity is heated or cooled according to the detection parameters, so that the temperature of the coolant is kept constant.

[0039] In one embodiment, after obtaining the detection parameter through the temperature control component and heating or cooling the coolant flowing back into the liquid containing cavity according to the detection parameter so as to keep the temperature of the coolant constant, the method further comprises:

[0040] Allowing the coolant in the liquid containing cavity to enter the cooling cavity through the liquid inlet pipe;

[0041] Passing gas into the heat exchange cavity so that the gas pressure in the heat exchange cavity is equal to the target pressure;

[0042] Allowing the coolant in the cooling chamber to flow back to the liquid containing chamber through the liquid outlet pipe;

[0043] Obtaining the heat exchange of the condenser according to the detection parameters of the second detection component and the volume of the coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve per unit time;

[0044] The detection parameters are obtained through the temperature control component, and the coolant flowing back into the liquid containing cavity is heated or cooled according to the detection parameters, so that the temperature of the coolant is kept constant.

[0045] In the heat exchange test method of this embodiment, the tester heats the liquid refrigerant into a gaseous refrigerant, and allows the gaseous refrigerant to pass into the heat exchange chamber through the air inlet hole. In the process of the gaseous refrigerant passing into the heat exchange chamber, the first sensor is used to detect the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber. When the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure, the tester opens the exhaust hole to completely discharge the original gas in the heat exchange chamber to ensure that the remaining space in the heat exchange chamber except the space occupied by the condenser is filled with the gaseous refrigerant subsequently passed into the heat exchange chamber. As the original gas in the heat exchange chamber is completely discharged, the tester begins to open the flow regulating valve to allow the coolant in the liquid chamber to enter the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe, and adjusts the opening size of the flow regulating valve to gradually increase the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber until the flow rate of the coolant reaches the target flow rate. During this process, the coolant entering the cooling chamber absorbs the heat of the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber through the chamber wall of the cooling chamber, and liquefies part of the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber, and then flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid containing chamber through the liquid outlet pipe. At the same time, the tester changes the volume of the gaseous refrigerant introduced into the heat exchange chamber per unit time, so that the speed of introducing the gaseous refrigerant into the heat exchange chamber is greater than / less than / equal to the speed at which the condenser liquefies the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber per unit time, thereby ensuring that the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is always equal to the target pressure, the target pressure is less than the ambient pressure, and the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure when the heat exchange box is exploded.

[0046] When the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber reaches the target flow rate, the tester uses the second detection component to detect the coolant temperature in the inlet pipe and the coolant temperature in the outlet pipe, and obtains the heat exchange capacity of the condenser based on the detection parameters of the second detection component and the volume of coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve per unit time. The detection parameters include the coolant temperature in the inlet pipe and the coolant temperature in the outlet pipe.

[0047] It should be supplemented that, since the cooling chamber and the liquid holding chamber are connected through the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe respectively, the coolant flowing back into the liquid holding chamber can enter the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe to liquefy the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber, that is, the coolant circulates between the cooling chamber and the liquid holding chamber. The staff can calculate the heat exchange capacity of the condenser when the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is equal to the target pressure during each circulation of the coolant of the target flow rate between the cooling chamber and the liquid holding chamber, and superimpose the results of each calculation to obtain the total heat exchange capacity of the condenser during multiple circulations of the coolant between the cooling chamber and the liquid holding chamber, and then simulate the heat exchange capacity of multiple condensers in series when the coolant flows through multiple condensers in series. It is worth noting that the temperature of the coolant gradually rises during each circulation process between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber. In order to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results, that is, the temperature of the coolant when it enters the cooling chamber during each circulation process is equal to the temperature of the coolant when it flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid chamber during the previous circulation process. The temperature control component will heat or cool the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber according to the detection parameters of the second detection component to keep the temperature of the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber constant, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the coolant in the liquid outlet pipe before flowing back to the liquid chamber is the same as the temperature after flowing back to the liquid chamber.

[0048] To summarize, the heat exchange testing method in this embodiment, by circulating the coolant between the liquid holding chamber and the cooling chamber so that the coolant flows through the same condenser multiple times, can simulate the calculation of the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers connected in series when the coolant flows through the multiple condensers connected in series, thereby reducing the number of condensers required for the heat exchange testing equipment to calculate the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers connected in series, reducing the volume of the heat exchange testing equipment, and saving the manufacturing cost of the heat exchange testing equipment.

[0077] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The structure diagram of the heat exchange test equipment in one embodiment of the present application is shown. A heat exchange test equipment 10 provided in one embodiment of the present application includes: a heat exchange box 100, a first detection component 200, a solution box 300, a transmission pipeline 400, a flow regulating valve 500, a second detection component 600 and a temperature control component 700. The heat exchange box 100 includes a heat exchange cavity (not shown) and an air inlet 110, an exhaust hole 120, and a drain hole 130 connected to the heat exchange cavity, and a condenser (not shown) arranged in the heat exchange cavity. The condenser includes a cooling cavity (not shown) and a liquid inlet (not shown) and a liquid outlet (not shown) connected to the cooling cavity. A detection component 200 includes a first sensor 210 for detecting the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber, the solution tank 300 includes a liquid chamber 310, and the liquid chamber 310 contains cooling liquid. The transmission pipeline 400 includes an inlet pipe 410 and a liquid outlet pipe 420. The inlet pipe 410 connects the liquid chamber 310 with the liquid inlet, and the outlet pipe 420 connects the liquid outlet and the liquid chamber 310. The flow regulating valve 500 is arranged on the inlet pipe 410 or the outlet pipe 420. The second detection component 600 is configured to detect the liquid temperature in the inlet pipe 410 and the liquid temperature in the outlet pipe 420. The temperature control component 700 is configured to heat or cool the liquid in the liquid chamber 310.

[0078] When the heat exchange test equipment 10 in this embodiment is working, the tester heats the liquid refrigerant into a gaseous refrigerant, and allows the gaseous refrigerant to pass into the heat exchange chamber through the air inlet 110. In the process of the gaseous refrigerant passing into the heat exchange chamber, the first sensor 210 is used to detect the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber. When the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure, the tester opens the exhaust hole 120 to completely discharge the original gas in the heat exchange chamber to ensure that the remaining space in the heat exchange chamber except the space occupied by the condenser is filled with the gaseous refrigerant subsequently passed into the heat exchange chamber. As the original gas in the heat exchange chamber is completely discharged, the tester begins to open the flow regulating valve 500, so that the coolant in the liquid containing chamber 310 enters the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe 410, and adjusts the opening size of the flow regulating valve 500 to gradually increase the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber until the flow rate of the coolant reaches the target flow rate. In this process, the coolant entering the cooling chamber absorbs the heat of the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber through the wall of the cooling chamber, and liquefies part of the heated gas in the heat exchange chamber, and then flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid containing chamber 310 through the liquid outlet pipe 420. At the same time, the tester changes the volume of the gaseous refrigerant introduced into the heat exchange chamber per unit time, so that the speed of introducing the gaseous refrigerant into the heat exchange chamber is greater than / less than / equal to the speed of the condenser liquefying the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber per unit time, thereby ensuring that the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is always equal to the target pressure, the target pressure is less than the ambient pressure, and the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure when the heat exchange box 100 is compressed and exploded.

[0079] When the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber reaches the target flow rate, the tester uses the second detection component 600 to detect the coolant temperature in the liquid inlet pipe 410 and the coolant temperature in the liquid outlet pipe 420, and obtains the heat exchange rate of the condenser based on the detection parameters of the second detection component 600 and the volume of coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve 500 per unit time. The detection parameters include the coolant temperature in the liquid inlet pipe 410 and the coolant temperature in the liquid outlet pipe 420.

[0080] It should be noted that, since the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310 are connected through the liquid inlet pipe 410 and the liquid outlet pipe 420 respectively, the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber 310 will enter the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe 410, and liquefy the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber, that is, the coolant circulates between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310. The staff can calculate the heat exchange rate of the condenser when the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is equal to the target pressure during each circulation of the coolant of the target flow rate between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310, and superimpose the results of each calculation to obtain the total heat exchange rate of the condenser during multiple circulations of the coolant between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310, and then simulate the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers in series when the coolant flows through multiple condensers in series. It is worth noting that the temperature of the coolant gradually rises during each circulation process between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310. In order to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results, that is, during each circulation process, the temperature of the coolant when it enters the cooling chamber is equal to the temperature of the coolant when it flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid chamber 310 during the previous circulation process. The temperature control component 700 will heat or cool the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber 310 according to the detection parameters of the second detection component 600, so that the temperature of the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber 310 remains constant, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the coolant in the liquid outlet pipe 420 before flowing back to the liquid chamber 310 is the same as the temperature after flowing back to the liquid chamber 310.

[0081] To summarize, the heat exchange test equipment 10 in this embodiment circulates the coolant between the liquid chamber 310 and the cooling chamber so that the coolant flows through the same condenser multiple times. This can simulate the calculation of the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers connected in series when the coolant flows through the multiple condensers connected in series, thereby reducing the number of condensers required for the heat exchange test equipment 10 to calculate the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers connected in series, reducing the volume of the heat exchange test equipment 10, and saving the manufacturing cost of the heat exchange test equipment.

[0082] It should be emphasized that since the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber increases gradually, before the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber reaches the target flow rate, each time the tester adjusts the flow regulating valve 500, the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber only increases slightly, and the volume of the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber that can be liquefied by the condenser per unit time only increases slightly, and the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber only decreases slightly. The air pressure in the heat exchange chamber will not drop from a value greater than the target pressure to below the target pressure instantly, but will decrease multiple times and eventually become less than the target pressure. Therefore, whenever the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is less than the target pressure, the tester only needs to slightly increase the volume of the gaseous refrigerant introduced into the heat exchange chamber per unit time, and the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber can be quickly changed in a short time, so that the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the target pressure again and less than the maximum tolerable pressure in the heat exchange chamber in the heat exchange box 100. Because the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber changes slightly each time, the heat exchange test equipment 10 will not cause the tester to significantly increase the volume of gaseous refrigerant introduced into the heat exchange chamber per unit time due to a significant drop in the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber in a short period of time. The air pressure in the heat exchange chamber can be greater than the target pressure again in a relatively short period of time, and the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber of the heat exchange box 100 will not be greater than the maximum tolerable pressure in the heat exchange chamber of the heat exchange box 100, thereby avoiding deformation of the heat exchange box 100 due to the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber being less than the target pressure.

[0113] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the heat exchange test equipment 10 includes a delivery pipe 1300, the delivery pipe 1300 includes an air inlet pipe 1310 and a liquid discharge pipe 1320, the inlet of the air inlet pipe 1310 is connected to the heating chamber 1210, the outlet of the air inlet pipe 1310 is connected to the air inlet hole 110, the inlet of the liquid discharge pipe 1320 is connected to the liquid discharge hole 130, and the outlet of the liquid discharge pipe 1320 is connected to the heating chamber 1210, and the heat exchange test equipment 10 includes a fourth detection component 1400, and the fourth detection component 1400 is configured to detect the gas temperature in the heat exchange chamber and the liquid temperature in the liquid discharge pipe 1320.

[0114] In this embodiment, the liquid refrigerant in the heating chamber 1210 is heated by the heating element 1220 and becomes a gaseous refrigerant, and then enters the heat exchange chamber through the air inlet pipe 1310. A portion of the gaseous refrigerant entering the heat exchange chamber is liquefied by the coolant flowing through the condenser and becomes a liquid refrigerant again. The liquid refrigerant leaves the heat exchange chamber through the drain pipe 1320 and flows back into the heating chamber 1210. In this process, the fourth detection component 1400 detects the gas temperature in the heat exchange chamber and the liquid temperature in the drain pipe 1320 in real time, so that the tester can review the heat exchange capacity of the condenser according to the gas temperature in the heat exchange chamber and the liquid temperature in the drain pipe 1320.

[0119] It should be noted that when the condenser in the heat exchange chamber needs to be replaced, the tester will close the first connecting valve 1510 and the second connecting valve 1520, stop introducing the gaseous refrigerant into the heat exchange chamber to prevent the refrigerant in the heating chamber 1210 from volatilizing, and then remove the existing condenser in the heat exchange chamber, making the replacement of the condenser more convenient.

[0123] In this embodiment, the air pressure in the heating chamber 1210 is detected by the second sensor 220, so that the tester can obtain the air pressure in the heating chamber 1210 in real time, and then it is convenient for the tester to judge the flow rate of the gaseous refrigerant in the inlet pipe 1310 according to the difference between the air pressure in the heating chamber 1210 and the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber.

[0124] It should be noted that the air pressure in the heating chamber 1210 is greater than the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber.

[0125] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flow chart of a heat exchange test method in an embodiment of the present application is shown. A heat exchange test method provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied to the aforementioned heat exchange test device 10. The test method includes:

[0126] S100: The gaseous refrigerant is introduced into the heat exchange chamber through the air inlet 110.

[0127] S200: Using the first sensor 210 to detect the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber.

[0128] S300: If the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure, the exhaust hole 120 is opened to completely exhaust the original gas in the heat exchange chamber.

[0129] S400 : Open the flow regulating valve 500 to allow the coolant in the liquid containing chamber 310 to enter the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe 410 and flow back from the cooling chamber to the liquid containing chamber 310 through the liquid outlet pipe 420 .

[0130] S500: Regulate the flow regulating valve 500 to gradually increase the flow of the coolant flowing through the condenser until the flow of the coolant reaches the target flow, and introduce gas into the heat exchange chamber to make the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber equal to the target pressure.

[0131] S600: The heat exchange amount of the condenser is obtained according to the detection parameters of the second detection component 600 and the volume of the coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve 500 per unit time.

[0132] S700: Acquire detection parameters through the temperature control component 700, and heat or cool the coolant flowing back into the liquid containing cavity 310 according to the detection parameters, so as to keep the temperature of the coolant constant.

[0133] In the heat exchange test method of this embodiment, the tester heats the liquid refrigerant into a gaseous refrigerant, and allows the gaseous refrigerant to pass into the heat exchange chamber through the air inlet 110. In the process of the gaseous refrigerant passing into the heat exchange chamber, the first sensor 210 is used to detect the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber. When the air pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure, the tester opens the exhaust hole 120 to completely discharge the original gas in the heat exchange chamber to ensure that the remaining space in the heat exchange chamber except the space occupied by the condenser is filled with the gaseous refrigerant subsequently passed into the heat exchange chamber. As the original gas in the heat exchange chamber is completely discharged, the tester begins to open the flow regulating valve 500, so that the coolant in the liquid containing chamber 310 enters the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe 410, and adjusts the opening size of the flow regulating valve 500 to gradually increase the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber until the flow rate of the coolant reaches the target flow rate. During this process, the coolant entering the cooling chamber absorbs the heat of the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber through the wall of the cooling chamber, and after liquefying part of the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber, it flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid containing chamber 310 through the liquid outlet pipe 420. At the same time, the tester changes the volume of the gaseous refrigerant introduced into the heat exchange chamber per unit time, so that the speed of introducing the gaseous refrigerant into the heat exchange chamber per unit time is greater than / less than / equal to the speed of the condenser liquefying the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber per unit time, thereby ensuring that the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is always equal to the target pressure, the target pressure is less than the ambient pressure, and the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is greater than the ambient pressure when the heat exchange box is exploded.

[0134] When the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the cooling chamber reaches the target flow rate, the tester uses the second detection component 600 to detect the coolant temperature in the liquid inlet pipe 410 and the coolant temperature in the liquid outlet pipe 420, and obtains the heat exchange rate of the condenser based on the detection parameters of the second detection component 600 and the volume of coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve 500 per unit time. The detection parameters include the coolant temperature in the liquid inlet pipe 410 and the coolant temperature in the liquid outlet pipe 420.

[0135] It should be noted that, since the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310 are connected through the liquid inlet pipe 410 and the liquid outlet pipe 420 respectively, the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber 310 can enter the cooling chamber through the liquid inlet pipe 410 to liquefy the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber, that is, the coolant circulates between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310. The staff can calculate the heat exchange rate of the condenser when the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is equal to the target pressure during each circulation of the coolant of the target flow rate between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310, and superimpose the results of each calculation to obtain the total heat exchange rate of the condenser during multiple circulations of the coolant between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310, and then simulate the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers in series when the coolant flows through multiple condensers in series. It is worth noting that the temperature of the coolant gradually rises during each circulation process between the cooling chamber and the liquid chamber 310. In order to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results, that is, during each circulation process, the temperature of the coolant when it enters the cooling chamber is equal to the temperature of the coolant when it flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid chamber 310 during the previous circulation process. The temperature control component 700 will heat or cool the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber 310 according to the detection parameters of the second detection component 600, so that the temperature of the coolant flowing back into the liquid chamber 310 remains constant, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the coolant in the liquid outlet pipe 420 before flowing back to the liquid chamber 310 is the same as the temperature after flowing back to the liquid chamber 310.

[0136] In summary, the heat exchange testing method in this embodiment circulates the coolant between the liquid holding chamber 310 and the cooling chamber so that the coolant flows through the same condenser multiple times. This can simulate the calculation of the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers connected in series when the coolant flows through the multiple condensers connected in series, thereby reducing the number of condensers required for the heat exchange testing equipment 10 to calculate the heat exchange rate of multiple condensers connected in series, reducing the volume of the heat exchange testing equipment 10, and saving the manufacturing cost of the heat exchange testing equipment 10.

[0137] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments, after obtaining the detection parameters through the temperature control component 700 and heating or cooling the coolant flowing back into the liquid containing cavity 310 according to the detection parameters so as to keep the temperature of the coolant constant, the method includes:

[0138] S800: The cooling liquid in the liquid containing cavity 310 enters the cooling cavity through the liquid inlet pipe 410 .

[0139] S900: introducing gas into the heat exchange chamber so that the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is equal to the target pressure.

[0140] S1000: The cooling liquid in the cooling chamber is made to flow back to the liquid containing chamber 310 through the liquid outlet pipe 420 .

[0141] S1100: The heat exchange amount of the condenser is obtained according to the detection parameters of the second detection component 600 and the volume of the coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve 500 per unit time.

[0142] S1200: Acquire detection parameters through the temperature control component 700, and heat or cool the coolant flowing back into the liquid containing cavity 310 according to the detection parameters, so as to keep the temperature of the coolant constant.

[0143] In this embodiment, the coolant that flows back to the liquid containing chamber 310 enters the cooling chamber of the condenser again through the liquid inlet pipe 410, and continues to liquefy the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber. At the same time, the tester changes the volume of the gaseous refrigerant introduced into the heat exchange chamber per unit time, so that the speed of introducing the gaseous refrigerant into the heat exchange chamber is greater than / less than / equal to the speed of the condenser liquefying the gaseous refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber per unit time, thereby ensuring that the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is always equal to the target pressure. When the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is equal to the target pressure, the tester will again use the second detection component 600 to detect the coolant temperature in the liquid inlet pipe 410 and the coolant temperature in the liquid outlet pipe 420, and obtain the heat exchange capacity of the condenser when the coolant flows through the condenser again based on the detection parameters of the second detection component 600 and the volume of the coolant flowing through the flow regulating valve 500 per unit time.

[0144] It should be noted that the coolant that enters the cooling chamber again absorbs the heat of the heated gas in the heat exchange chamber through the chamber wall of the cooling chamber and liquefies part of the heated gas in the heat exchange chamber, and then flows back from the cooling chamber to the liquid containing chamber 310 through the liquid outlet pipe 420.

[0145] It should be emphasized that the tester can repeat steps S800 to S1200 multiple times, calculate the heat exchange capacity of the condenser when the gas pressure in the heat exchange chamber is equal to the target pressure during each cycle of steps S800 to S1200, and superimpose the results of each calculation to obtain the total heat exchange capacity of the condenser during multiple circulations of the coolant between the cooling chamber and the liquid holding chamber 310, and then simulate the calculation of the heat exchange capacity of multiple condensers in series when the coolant flows through the multiple condensers in series.
