[0032] [Example 1]

[0033] In Example 1, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a specific implementation of a pump-driven two-phase flow refilling system for a data center, including a cooling pipeline 1, on which a liquid storage tank 2 for storing a refrigerant, a circulating pump 3, a cooling device for cooling a chip 12, and a condenser 5 are sequentially provided. In order to realize refilling for the cooling pipeline 1, a refilling tank 15 for storing a refrigerant 16 for refilling, a heating device, a first pressure sensor 6, a second pressure sensor 7, and a valve are also included, wherein the refilling tank 15 is connected to the cooling pipeline 1 between the circulating pump 3 and the refilling tank 15 through a refilling pipeline 17, and the cooling pipeline 1 between the cooling device and the condenser 5 extends to the refilling tank 15 to heat the refrigerant 16 for refilling in the refilling tank 15, and the heating device is arranged at the refilling tank 15 to further heat the refrigerant in the refilling tank 15. The first pressure sensor 6 is disposed at the liquid storage tank 2 to detect the pressure in the liquid storage tank 2, the second pressure sensor 7 is disposed at the liquid outlet of the liquid replenishing tank 15 to detect the pressure in the liquid replenishing tank 15, and the valve is disposed on the liquid replenishing pipeline 17 to control whether the cooling medium in the liquid replenishing tank 15 can enter the cooling pipeline 1 through the liquid replenishing pipeline 17. In this embodiment, the valve is a solenoid valve 8, and in other embodiments, the valve may also be a manual valve, which will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The above-mentioned data center pump-driven two-phase flow replenishment system uses the heat of the cooling medium after cooling the data center to preheat the cooling medium in the replenishment tank 15, thereby increasing the pressure in the replenishment tank 15, and optionally cooperates with a heating device to achieve the replenishment function.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to further realize the automatic fluid replenishment function, the present embodiment further includes a controller 9, which is respectively connected to the heating device, the first pressure sensor 6, the second pressure sensor 7 and the solenoid valve 8. The controller 9 can control whether the heating device heats the cooling medium in the fluid replenishment tank 15, thereby adjusting the pressure in the fluid replenishment tank 15, and automatically obtains the pressure detection values ​​at the first pressure sensor 6 and the second pressure sensor 7 to determine whether the solenoid valve 8 can be opened for fluid replenishment.

[0036] [Example 2]

[0037] Embodiment 2 is based on embodiment 1, as Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, Example 2 also includes a cabinet, a liquid storage tank 2, a circulating pump 3, a cooling device and a condenser 5 are all arranged in the cabinet, and the liquid replenishment tank 15 is inverted and arranged on the top of the cabinet, so that the height difference can be utilized to make the cooling medium enter the cooling pipeline 1 more easily through the liquid replenishment pipe based on its own gravity. At the same time, in the two-phase flow (gas and liquid) in the inverted liquid replenishment tank 15, due to density reasons, the gas floats and the liquid is deposited at the bottom of the liquid replenishment tank 15, thereby ensuring that the liquid cooling medium enters the cooling pipeline 1 for replenishment.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to better preserve the heat at the fluid infusion tank 15 and prevent heat loss, an insulation box 11 is provided on the outside of the fluid infusion tank 15, and the heating device is at least partially located inside the insulation box 11. In this embodiment, the heating device includes an electric heating wire 10a, which extends into the insulation box 11 and fits the lower end surface of the fluid infusion tank 15, so that the contact area between the electric heating wire 10a and the fluid infusion tank 15 is large, thereby achieving a better heating effect and supporting the fluid infusion tank 15.

[0039] [Example 3]

[0040] Embodiment 3 is based on embodiment 2, as Figure 2 As shown, a portion of the cooling pipeline 1 of Example 3 is located in the wall of the insulation box 11 and is spirally wound from bottom to top at the liquid replenishment tank 15, that is, the insulation box 11 has an insulation box inlet 11a and an insulation box outlet 11b, and the insulation box inlet 11a to the insulation box outlet 11b is the aforementioned portion of the cooling pipeline 1 spirally wound from bottom to top at the liquid replenishment tank 15, and the cooling medium after cooling the data center flows from the insulation box inlet 11a through the wall of the insulation box 11 to preheat the cooling medium in the liquid replenishment tank 15. At the same time, because the cooling pipeline 1 is distributed in a spiral shape in the insulation box 11, the heat of the cooling medium in the cooling pipeline 1 is evenly distributed in the insulation box 11, and the heating of the cooling medium in the liquid replenishment tank 15 is more uniform.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the axial spacing of the cooling pipes spirally wound at the liquid replenishment tank 15 is 2.5 times the diameter of the cooling pipeline 1, so as to take into account both the structural strength of the incubator 11 and the heating effect of the cooling medium in the liquid replenishment tank 15 after the cooling medium in the data center cools down. In other embodiments, the axial spacing of the cooling pipes spirally wound at the liquid replenishment tank 15 is 2 times, 3 times, or other multiples between 2 and 3 times the diameter of the cooling pipeline 1, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions and will not be repeated here.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the insulation box 11 is provided with a vertical channel 11c, the opening of the liquid replenishment tank 15 is connected to the upper end of the vertical channel 11c by a one-way self-sealing quick-connect joint, and the lower end of the vertical channel 11c is connected to the cooling pipeline 1 through the liquid replenishment pipeline 17. The wall of the insulation box 11 includes an inner wall, an outer wall and a heat preservation material filled between the inner wall and the outer wall. A part of the cooling pipeline 1 is located between the inner wall and the outer wall of the insulation box 11 and is wrapped in the heat preservation material. The aforementioned inner wall or outer wall is a steel or plastic part, which can achieve a good heat preservation function.

[0043] [Example 4]

[0044] Embodiment 4 is based on embodiment 1-3, as Figure 1 As shown, the cooling device includes a plurality of microchannel cold plates 4 arranged in parallel, the chip 12 is arranged on the microchannel cold plates 4, and the cooling medium passes through the microchannel cold plates 4 to cool the chip 12.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, a liquid separator 13 and a liquid collector 14 are also provided on the cooling pipeline 1. The inlet of the microchannel cold plate 4 is connected to the outlet of the circulation pump 3 through the liquid separator 13, and the outlet of the microchannel cold plate 4 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 5 through the liquid collector 14. The cooling medium in the cooling pipeline 1 is divided into several branches through the liquid separator 13 and then flows synchronously through the corresponding microchannel cold plate 4 to cool the chip 12, and then converges into one pipeline through the liquid collector 14, thereby realizing synchronous cooling of multiple chips 12, greatly improving the cooling efficiency and cooling range.

[0046] [Example 5]

[0047] Embodiment 5 discloses a pump-driven two-phase flow rehydration method for a data center, which is applied to any one of the pump-driven two-phase flow rehydration systems for a data center in the aforementioned embodiments 1-4, and specifically comprises the following steps:

[0048] Step S1: respectively obtaining a monitoring value P1 at the first pressure sensor 6 and a monitoring value P2 at the second pressure sensor 7;

[0049] Step S2: Determine whether P2=P1 is true, if not, execute step S3, if yes, execute step S4;

[0050] In step S2, only when P2=P1, the pressures at the fluid replenishment tank 15 and the fluid storage tank 2 are equivalent. At this time, opening the valve can allow the coolant in the fluid replenishment tank 15 to flow smoothly into the cooling pipeline 1. In this step, it is determined whether P2=P1 is established, so as to confirm whether the pressure in the fluid replenishment tank 15 meets the pressure requirement for replenishing the coolant into the cooling pipeline 1. If not, execute step S3; if yes, execute step S4.

[0051] Step S3: Turn on the heating device to heat the cooling medium in the liquid replenishing tank 15 and obtain the monitoring value P2 at the second pressure sensor 7 again, and return to execute step S2;

[0052] In step S3, since it has been determined that the pressure in the fluid replenishment tank 15 does not meet the fluid replenishment requirement, the pressure in the fluid replenishment tank 15 is increased by heating the coolant in the fluid replenishment tank 15, and then the process returns to step S2 to determine again whether the fluid replenishment pressure requirement is met.

[0053] Step S4: Open the valve, replenish the cooling medium in the liquid replenishing tank 15 into the cooling pipeline 1 through the liquid replenishing pipeline 17, and execute step S5;

[0054] In step S4, since it has been confirmed that the pressure in the liquid replenishing tank 15 meets the liquid replenishing requirement, the valve is opened to replenish the liquid, and then step S5 is executed.

[0055] Step S5: Determine whether the heating device is turned on at this time, and if so, turn off the heating device.

[0056] In step S5, it is mainly to confirm whether the heating device has been turned on for heating before. If yes, the heating device is turned off because the pressure of the liquid replenishing tank 15 has reached the liquid replenishing requirement.

[0057] Specifically, the above method is discussed according to the operating conditions and the shutdown conditions respectively.

[0058] When in operating condition, the data center is being cooled.

[0059] The cooling medium after cooling the data center is transported to the vicinity of the refill tank 15 through the cooling pipeline 1, and the heat transferred from the data center to the cooling medium is used to heat the cooling medium in the refill tank 15, thereby achieving effective utilization of the heat in the cooling medium after cooling the data center, thereby increasing the pressure value at the refill tank 15. If the pressure value measured by the second pressure sensor 7 is not equal to the pressure value measured by the first pressure sensor 6 at this time, the cooling medium in the refill tank 15 is heated by the heating device again, so that the pressure value measured by the second pressure sensor 7 is equal to the pressure value measured by the first pressure sensor 6, and then the valve is opened to replenish the cooling medium in the refill tank 15 into the cooling pipeline 1; if the heat of the cooling medium can make the pressure value measured by the second pressure sensor 7 equal to the pressure value measured by the first pressure sensor 6 after utilization, the valve is directly opened without opening the heating device, and the cooling medium in the refill tank 15 is replenished into the cooling pipeline 1.

[0060] When in shutdown conditions, the data center is not being cooled.

[0061] If the pressure value measured by the second pressure sensor 7 is not equal to the pressure value measured by the first pressure sensor 6, turn on the heating device to heat the coolant in the fluid replenishment tank 15. After the pressure value measured by the second pressure sensor 7 is equal to the pressure value measured by the first pressure sensor 6, open the valve to replenish the coolant in the fluid replenishment tank 15 into the cooling pipeline 1.

[0062] The difference between the aforementioned operating condition and shutdown condition is that in the operating condition, the cooling medium in the liquid replenishment tank 15 is preheated by the cooling medium after cooling the data center, while in the shutdown condition, there is no such preheating.

[0063] Furthermore, the controller 9 can realize the automatic execution and control of all the aforementioned steps, thereby realizing the automatic fluid replenishment function.
