Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of CDU in data centers, and particularly to a method and system for comprehensively identifying sensor faults in a liquid cooling system. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of information technology, artificial intelligence has become an indispensable part of social development. As the physical carrier of artificial intelligence, data centers play a key role. And as the cold quantity distribution unit of the data center, CDU plays a crucial role in the normal operation of the data center. At present, the main configuration of CDU is a multi-sensor redundancy scheme, and these sensors play an indispensable role in the normal operation of CDU. The current CDU system only alarms for single sensor limit values and detects wire breaks, and does not collect and summarize the data of redundant sensors and associated loop sensors for comprehensive identification and judgment, so the redundant configuration does not play its due role; and single sensor alarms will affect the stability of system operation, increase the probability of false alarms, and reduce the reliability of the overall system. At the same time, the existing technology does not have an online maintenance control logic, resulting in abnormal alarms that should not occur in the CDU system when sensors are replaced online, thus affecting the stability of the entire system operation.

[0003] Therefore, how to avoid abnormal alarms of system parameters caused by online maintenance and replacement of sensors and how to comprehensively judge sensor fault conditions by using the redundant configuration of system sensors and the configuration of other associated loop sensors, so as to improve the overall stability and reliability of the system are difficult problems to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to disclose a method and system for comprehensively identifying sensor faults in a liquid cooling system to solve the problems of only single sensor alarm identification and system abnormal alarms caused by online maintenance in the existing technology, thus affecting the stability and reliability of system operation.

[0005] On the one hand, the purpose of this application is achieved through the following technical solutions:

A plurality of pressure sensors, temperature sensors and flow sensors are respectively provided in the primary side loop and the secondary side loop;

[0007] The sensor fault comprehensive identification method includes:

[0008] S1: Data acquisition and conversion step, collect and convert the feedback data of each sensor, and convert the electrical signals transmitted by each sensor into the actual engineering quantities of the liquid cooling system;

[0009] S2: Self-learning step, by controlling the variable-frequency water pumps in the primary circuit and the secondary circuit to operate in gradients from the allowable minimum frequency to the maximum frequency, and operating for a preset time at each frequency gradient, and recording the flow rates of the primary circuit and the secondary circuit and the temperature difference and pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the variable-frequency water pumps at each frequency gradient for fault judgment and secondary verification;

[0021] If P ≤ P max , it indicates that the actual load heating power of the system is within the normal range, representing that the acquisition value of the temperature sensor is normal;

[0022] If P > P max , it indicates that the actual load heating power of the system exceeds the theoretical maximum load heating power, representing that the acquisition value of the temperature sensor may be abnormal; at this time, an initial judgment signal of over-limit heating power will be sent, and a secondary verification of temperature faults will be carried out according to step S5.

According to the real-time flow rate F collected by S1 t Compare with the disconnection value F of the flow sensor set in S3 b If F t ≥F b , then send out the initial judgment signal of the flow disconnection fault and perform the secondary verification according to step S721; The frequency identification process in step S7 includes: S721: According to the corresponding relationship between the pump frequency and the flow rate saved by self - learning in step S2, compare it with the actually collected flow rate. If the absolute value of the difference between the two is greater than the flow rate deviation value Fd, output the secondary verification result as a fault, and at the same time output the corresponding fault signal to remind the maintenance personnel to perform maintenance.
