[0012] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and mechanisms is omitted in the following description.
[0013] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown in , this embodiment shows a structural schematic diagram of a data center.
[0014] In this embodiment, the data center includes a computer room 10, a first air-conditioning room 20 and a second air-conditioning room 30; wherein the computer room 10 includes at least one multi-power compatible cabinet 101; the first air-conditioning room 20 and the second air-conditioning room 30 are respectively located on both sides of the computer room 10, and the first air-conditioning room 20 and the second air-conditioning room 30 respectively include at least one initial refrigeration unit 102.
[0015] The data center of this embodiment, on the one hand, can improve the cooling effect of the data center computer room by simultaneously cooling the multi-power compatible cabinets 101 through the initial refrigeration units 102 in the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room; on the other hand, the initial refrigeration units 102 in the air-conditioning rooms can be adjusted according to the current requirements of the machines actually deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinets 101. On the basis of meeting the cooling requirements of the computer room, the design compatibility of the data center is improved, and there is no need to design the air-conditioning rooms separately according to the different current requirements of the deployed machines.
[0016] Among them, the multi-power compatible cabinet 101 set in the computer room 10 of this embodiment can be used to deploy machines corresponding to different current requirements, thereby improving the applicability of the cabinet when deploying machines. Under the premise that machines with different current requirements can be deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, the initial refrigeration unit 102 located in the air-conditioned room is further set to be adjustable, that is, according to the current requirements of the machines actually deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioned room is removed, retained or replaced, so that the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioned room can meet the cooling requirements of the actually deployed machines in terms of quantity or type.
[0017] In this embodiment, the multi-power compatible cabinet 101 is used to deploy machines with current requirements of 40A (amperes), 80A or 120A; wherein, the machines deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101 can be IT equipment or servers, and multiple multi-power compatible cabinets 101 are arranged in rows and parallel in the computer room 10.
[0018] In this embodiment, the number of multi-power compatible cabinets 101 included in the computer room 10 can be determined based on the space size of the computer room 10 and the space size of the corresponding 80A cabinet (i.e., the cabinet where the 80A machine is deployed); that is, the space size of each multi-power compatible cabinet 101 is the same as the space size of the 80A cabinet.
[0019] In this embodiment, at least one initial refrigeration unit 102 included in the first air-conditioned room 20 and the second air-conditioned room 30 is an air-cooled refrigeration unit; that is, the refrigeration type of the initial refrigeration unit 102 is air-cooled refrigeration.
[0020] In this embodiment, at least one initial refrigeration unit 102 respectively included in the first air-conditioned room 20 and the second air-conditioned room 30 can be removed, retained or replaced according to the current requirements of the machines actually deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101.
[0021] In this embodiment, the current requirements of multiple machines deployed in multiple multi-power compatible cabinets 101 included in the computer room 10 are the same; that is, this embodiment simultaneously deploys 40A machines, or simultaneously deploys 80A machines, or simultaneously deploys 120A machines in multiple multi-power compatible cabinets 101.
[0022] In this embodiment, the number of initial refrigeration units 102 respectively included in the first air-conditioned room 20 and the second air-conditioned room 30 is pre-set; for example, this embodiment can determine the number of initial refrigeration units 102 respectively included in each air-conditioned room based on the actual usage scenario when the 80A machine is deployed in the computer room 10.
[0023] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown in , this embodiment shows a structural schematic diagram of a data center when a 40A machine is deployed in a computer room.
[0024] The data center of this embodiment includes a computer room 10, a first air-conditioning room 20 and a second air-conditioning room 30 on both sides of the computer room 10; wherein, the multi-power compatible cabinet 101 provided in the computer room 10 is deployed with a machine with a current demand of 40A, the first air-conditioning room 20 includes 4 initial refrigeration units 102, and the initial refrigeration unit 102 included in the second air-conditioning room 30 is removed.
[0025] Since the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room initially meet the cooling demand of the computer room 10 when 80A machines are deployed, and when 40A machines are deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, the current demand of the machines in the computer room 10 is reduced to half of the original (from 80A to 40A), the cooling effect provided by the air-conditioning room in the initial state is twice the cooling effect required by the current computer room. In order to avoid overflow of the cooling effect, this embodiment removes the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the second air-conditioning room 30, and only uses the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the first air-conditioning room 20 to cool the computer room 10.
[0026] In this embodiment, when a 40A machine is actually deployed in the computer room 10, the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioning room on either side of the computer room 10 is removed, and the computer room 10 is cooled only by the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioning room on one side of the computer room 10.
[0027] Figure 2 FIG. 3 shows that the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the second air-conditioned room 30 is completely removed.
[0028] In this embodiment, the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the first air-conditioned room 20 is composed of an outdoor unit (composed of an evaporative condenser and a pump cabinet) located outdoors and a wind wall (i.e., a heat exchange end) located indoors; the number of wind walls of the initial refrigeration unit 102 in this embodiment is 2; Figure 2 It is shown that four initial refrigeration units 102 are included in the first air-conditioned room 20 .
[0029] That is to say, in this embodiment, when it is determined that a 40A machine is deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioning room on either side of the computer room 10 is removed to construct a data center when a 40A machine is deployed in the computer room 10. There is no need to separately design the structure of the data center when deploying a 40A machine. While ensuring that the computer room of the data center has a good cooling effect, it can also reduce the resource loss when cooling the computer room of the data center.
[0030] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown in , this embodiment shows a structural schematic diagram of a data center when an 80A machine is deployed in a computer room.
[0031] The data center of this embodiment includes a computer room 10, a first air-conditioning room 20 and a second air-conditioning room 30 on both sides of the computer room 10; wherein, the multi-power compatible cabinet 101 provided in the computer room 10 is deployed with a machine with a current demand of 80A, and the first air-conditioning room 20 and the second air-conditioning room 30 respectively include 4 initial refrigeration units 102.
[0032] Since the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room initially meet the cooling demand of the computer room 10 when 80A machines are deployed, and when 80A machines are deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, the current demand of the machines in the computer room 10 has not changed. Therefore, the cooling effect provided by the air-conditioning room in the initial state is the cooling effect required by the current computer room. In this embodiment, there is no need to adjust the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioning room.
[0033] In this embodiment, when 80A machines are deployed in the computer room 10, the initial refrigeration units 102 in the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room 10 are reserved, and the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room 10 perform cooling simultaneously.
[0034] In this embodiment, the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the first air-conditioned room 20 and the second air-conditioned room 30 is composed of an outdoor unit (composed of an evaporative condenser and a pump cabinet) located outdoors and a wind wall (i.e., a heat exchange end) located indoors; wherein, the number of wind walls of the initial refrigeration unit 102 is 2; Figure 3 It is shown that each air-conditioned room includes 4 primary refrigeration units.
[0035] That is to say, when it is determined that an 80A machine is deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, this embodiment adopts a method of not making any adjustments to the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room 10 (that is, retaining all the initial refrigeration units 102 in the air-conditioning rooms on both sides) to construct a data center when the 80A machine is deployed in the computer room 10. There is no need to separately design the structure of the data center when deploying the 80A machine, which can simplify the steps of deploying the 80A machine in the data center and improve the efficiency of deploying the 80A machine.
[0036] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram according to the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown in , this embodiment shows a structural schematic diagram of a data center when a 120A machine is deployed in a computer room.
[0037] The data center of this embodiment includes a computer room 10, a first air-conditioning room 20 and a second air-conditioning room 30 on both sides of the computer room 10; wherein, the multi-power compatible cabinet 101 provided in the computer room 10 is deployed with a machine with a current demand of 120A; the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the first air-conditioning room 20 is replaced with a liquid cooling refrigeration unit, and the second air-conditioning room 30 includes 4 initial refrigeration units 102.
[0038] Since the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room initially meet the cooling demand of the computer room 10 when 80A machines are deployed, and when 120A machines are deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, the current demand of the machines in the computer room 10 increases from 80A to 120, the cooling effect provided by the air-conditioning room in the initial state cannot meet the cooling effect required by the current computer room. In order to improve the cooling effect, this embodiment replaces the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the first air-conditioning room 20 with a liquid-cooled refrigeration unit with better cooling effect, thereby performing air cooling and liquid cooling on the computer room 10 at the same time.
[0039] In this embodiment, when a 120A machine is deployed in the computer room 10, a liquid cooling refrigeration unit 103 is used to replace the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioned room on either side of the computer room 10, and the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioned room on the other side of the computer room is retained.
[0040] Figure 4 2 shows that the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the first air-conditioned room 20 is replaced by a liquid-cooled refrigeration unit 103, and the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the second air-conditioned room 30 is retained.
[0041] In this embodiment, the liquid-cooled refrigeration unit 103 in the first air-conditioned room 20 is composed of a cold unit, a ring network and a coolant distribution unit (CDU); wherein the cold unit provides coolant (i.e., cold source) to the ring network, the ring network distributes the coolant provided by the cold unit to different CDUs, and the CDU uses the coolant distributed by the ring network to perform liquid cooling on the multi-power compatible cabinet 101.
[0042] In this embodiment, the multi-power compatible cabinet 10 in the computer room 10 is a liquid cooling cabinet.
[0043] Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the second air-conditioning room 30 performs air cooling on the multi-power compatible cabinet 101 .
[0044] That is to say, when it is determined that a 120A machine is deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, this embodiment adopts a method of replacing the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioning room on either side of the computer room to construct a data center when a 120A machine is deployed in the computer room 10. There is no need to separately design the structure of the data center when deploying the 120A machine, and the use of air cooling and liquid cooling at the same time can improve the cooling effect of the computer room of the data center, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the data center.
[0045] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram according to the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown in , this embodiment shows a structural schematic diagram of another data center when a 120A machine is deployed in a computer room.
[0046] The data center of this embodiment includes a computer room 10, a first air-conditioning room 20 and a second air-conditioning room 30 on both sides of the computer room 10; wherein, the multi-power compatible cabinet 101 provided in the computer room 10 is deployed with a machine with a current demand of 120A, and the first air-conditioning room 20 and the second air-conditioning room 30 respectively include 4 initial refrigeration units 102.
[0047] Since the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room initially meet the cooling demand of the computer room 10 when 80A machines are deployed, and when 120A machines are deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinets 101, the current demand of the machines in the computer room 10 increases from 80A to 120, the cooling effect provided by the air-conditioning rooms in the initial state cannot meet the cooling effect required by the current computer room. In order to improve the cooling effect, this embodiment reduces the number of multi-power compatible cabinets 101 set in the computer room 10, and there is no need to adjust the air-conditioning rooms, so that the computer room 10 where the 120A machines are deployed is cooled by air cooling.
[0048] In this embodiment, when 120A machines are deployed in the computer room 10, there is no need to adjust the air-conditioning rooms on both sides of the computer room 10. Instead, the number of multi-power compatible cabinets 101 in the computer room 10 is reduced, thereby reducing the number of 120A machines deployed in the computer room 10.
[0049] Figure 5 and Figure 4 In comparison, the rightmost row of multi-power compatible cabinets in the computer room 10 is removed.
[0050] That is to say, when it is determined that a 120A machine is deployed in the multi-power compatible cabinet 101, this embodiment adopts a method of reducing the number of multi-power compatible cabinets 101 in the computer room 10 to construct a data center when 120A machines are deployed in the computer room 10. There is no need to separately design the structure of the data center when deploying 120A machines. Therefore, without adjusting the initial refrigeration unit 102 in the air-conditioned room, the air-conditioned room has a better cooling effect on the computer room of the data center, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the data center.
[0051] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present disclosure. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
