Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of supercomputer heat exchange, and particularly relates to an underground space supercomputer cluster cooling and heat storage exchange system. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, supercomputers have become indispensable important tools in key fields such as scientific research, military, and economy. However, with the continuous improvement of computing power, the heat generated by supercomputer clusters during operation has increased sharply, posing unprecedented challenges to heat dissipation and thermal management. Traditional heat dissipation methods, such as air cooling and cold plate water cooling, are difficult to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-density supercomputer clusters. The air cooling method has problems such as high noise, low heat dissipation efficiency, and difficulty in eliminating local hot spots; while the cold plate water cooling, although the heat dissipation efficiency has been improved, still has problems such as coolant leakage and complex maintenance.
[0003] In terms of thermal energy management, existing technologies often regard the heat generated by supercomputers as waste that needs to be quickly removed, lacking means for effective utilization. This not only leads to energy waste but also increases the environmental burden. With the intensification of the global energy crisis and the improvement of environmental awareness, how to recover and utilize the thermal energy of supercomputers has become an urgent problem to be solved. Most of the existing heat dissipation and thermal management systems for supercomputer clusters adopt static control strategies, that is, on-off control according to preset thresholds. This control method lacks flexibility and cannot adaptively adjust according to the real-time changes of supercomputer loads, resulting in overheating during low loads and insufficient heat dissipation during high loads. This not only affects the performance and stability of supercomputers but also increases energy consumption and operation and maintenance costs.
[0004] In response to this, the present application proposes an underground space supercomputer cluster cooling and heat storage exchange system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

A dual-mode thermal shunt processing module is used to intelligently shunt the high-temperature working fluid to obtain a shunted thermal energy flow. A nano-phase change heat storage module is used to optimize the storage of the shunted thermal energy flow through a nano-modified phase change material to obtain a stored thermal energy flow. An underground geothermal well coupling and regulation module is used to directly couple the stored thermal energy flow with the underground heat reservoir through a control valve and pipeline system to obtain a regulated thermal energy flow. A district heating and auxiliary power generation module is used to further utilize the regulated thermal energy flow, generate waste heat power through an ORC system, and at the same time transport hot water at 50 - 60 °C to surrounding buildings for district heating to obtain the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency of thermal energy.

In practice, the lower limit of 0 will be set, which means that the cooling flow rate needs to be increased at this time; This algorithm enables the system to dynamically adjust the energy distribution between cooling and power generation according to real-time load and temperature data, realizing priority cooling under high load and maximizing heat energy recovery under low load, overall improving energy utilization rate and ensuring the safe operation of equipment.

By using nano-modified phase change material PCM, higher-density energy storage can be achieved in a limited space. Compared with the traditional sensible heat storage method, the phase change heat storage technology can store and release a large amount of heat energy under relatively small temperature changes, and combines with the underground heat storage system for deep storage, improving the overall stability and long-term availability of energy storage, and providing support for district heating or future energy peak shaving.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] Embodiment 1:
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the underground space supercomputer cluster cooling and heat storage exchange system includes: A supercomputer heat source monitoring module for real-time monitoring of the temperature and operating status of the supercomputer chip to obtain initial heat energy data. Among them, a high-precision temperature sensor and a data acquisition unit are used to monitor the heat generated during the operation of the supercomputer chip in real time, obtain the initial heat energy data, and the data is collected by an embedded sensor (such as an RTD, an infrared thermometer, etc.) and processed in real time by a SCADA or an edge controller to form an accurate temperature and heat load curve. The obtained real-time and accurate initial heat energy data can provide a reliable basis for the subsequent modules, ensure the precise response of cooling, heat energy improvement and diversion control, and thus improve the overall energy efficiency and safety of the system. An immersion liquid cooling heat absorption module for directly immersing the supercomputer chip in a liquid cooling medium and calculating the heat energy absorbed by the chip through a dynamic heat transfer model to obtain preheated liquid. The supercomputer chip is directly immersed in a special liquid cooling medium to achieve direct contact between the chip surface and the cooling medium, so as to quickly absorb and dissipate heat and obtain preheated liquid. By designing a special immersion tank and flow channel, it is ensured that the cooling medium evenly covers the chip surface, and at the same time, natural or forced convection is used to improve the heat transfer efficiency, which can greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency and uniformity, reduce the risk of local hot spots, and realize the stable operation of high-density supercomputer equipment under high load, and provide a preliminary heat carrier for subsequent heat energy improvement. A supercritical CO2 thermal energy boosting module is used to boost the thermal energy of the preheated liquid by utilizing the supercritical CO2 cycle technology and combining with the initial thermal energy data to obtain a high-temperature working fluid. The initial thermal energy data is further input into the adaptive control algorithm of the supercritical CO2 module as a reference parameter to optimize the CO2 flow rate, pressure, and PID parameters, ensuring that the preheated liquid is rapidly heated up in an optimal state. By utilizing the high heat transfer and diffusivity of supercritical CO2, the low-temperature thermal energy in the preheated liquid is rapidly boosted to a high-temperature working fluid. An adaptive PID control algorithm is adopted to adjust the supercritical CO2 flow rate and pressure according to the real-time temperature error, and rapid temperature increase is achieved through a heat exchanger, thus rapidly concentrating the thermal energy to ensure that the system can reach the preset temperature requirement within a short time, guaranteeing that the subsequent energy shunting and utilization stages operate under ideal conditions, and improving the energy efficiency and response speed of the entire system. A dual-mode heat shunting processing module is used to perform intelligent shunting processing on the high-temperature working fluid to obtain a shunted heat energy flow. The intelligent shunting processing of the obtained high-temperature working fluid is carried out. On the one hand, it continues to meet the cooling requirements, and on the other hand, part of the thermal energy is used to drive a turbine generator or injected into a heat storage system to obtain a shunted heat energy flow. A dynamic shunting algorithm is used to calculate the shunting ratio according to the real-time temperature, load, and energy demand. The fluid distribution is precisely adjusted through a controllable valve. Furthermore, it can preferentially meet the cooling demand under high load to ensure the safety of the equipment. When the load is low or fluctuating, efficient recovery and reuse of waste heat are realized, the overall energy utilization rate of the system is improved, and the optimal balance of energy management is achieved. A nano-phase change heat storage module is used to optimize the heat storage of the shunted heat energy flow through a nano-modified phase change material to obtain highly efficient and stable stored thermal energy. A nano-modified phase change material (PCM) is adopted. The nano-modified phase change material in the nano-phase change heat storage module includes at least one of graphene-enhanced molten salt and carbon nanotubes. Phase change heat storage is achieved by absorbing thermal energy, and at the same time, sensible heat storage is combined to obtain highly efficient and stable stored thermal energy. A large amount of energy is stored using the latent heat of phase change, and at the same time, temperature control is achieved through the sensible heat change of the material. The introduction of a new nano-enhancement coefficient significantly increases the heat storage density. Therefore, the heat storage density can be increased (up to 150% or more of traditional materials), the demand for heat storage volume is reduced, and it can be used stably in cycles, reducing the risk of temperature fluctuations, providing sufficient and stable thermal energy support for subsequent energy utilization. Underground geothermal well coupling and regulation module, which is used to directly couple the stored heat energy flow with the underground heat reservoir through the control valve and pipeline system, realize the bidirectional transmission and regulation of heat energy, and obtain the regulated heat energy flow; directly transmit the heat energy flow stored in the heat storage module to the underground heat reservoir through physical coupling, and realize bidirectional heat energy transmission and regulation through pipelines and control valves to obtain the regulated heat energy flow; by constructing a directly coupled geothermal well system, monitor the underground temperature and pressure in real time, and dynamically adjust the injection and recovery flow rates through the regulation device; connect with the underground heat storage layer through the vertical geothermal well pipeline system, adopt automatic control valves and flow regulation devices, integrate temperature and pressure sensors and remote monitoring systems, and realize online data feedback and real-time regulation; thus realizing the bidirectional and efficient transmission of heat energy between the surface and the underground, balancing energy supply and demand; using the underground geothermal reservoir as a heat energy buffer to improve the overall system operation stability and provide a reliable heat source for district heating; District heating and auxiliary power generation module, which is used to further utilize the regulated heat energy flow, realize waste heat power generation through the ORC system, and at the same time transport hot water at 50 - 60 °C to surrounding buildings for district heating, so as to obtain the comprehensive heat energy utilization efficiency; realize the final utilization of the regulated heat energy flow through the organic Rankine cycle ORC device and the district heating pipe network to obtain the actual energy efficiency output; use the ORC system to convert waste heat into electric energy, and at the same time transport hot water at 50 - 60 °C to surrounding buildings for heating and domestic hot water supply; both realize waste heat power generation and meet the district heating demand, improving the overall energy utilization rate; reducing the cooling energy consumption of the supercomputer cluster, and at the same time reducing carbon emissions through energy recovery, with obvious energy conservation and environmental protection advantages.
[0024] As can be seen from the above, based on the supercomputer heat source monitoring module, the present invention collects the operating temperature and heat load information of the supercomputer cluster in real time, and uses this data to control the liquid cooling system, the supercritical CO2 heat exchange module and the dynamic heat diversion system. This closed-loop control mechanism enables the system to automatically adjust the cooling and heat storage strategies according to the changes in the supercomputer load, thereby improving the self-adaptability and response speed of thermal management, and ensuring that the supercomputer cluster can operate efficiently and safely under different load conditions; Adopt immersion liquid cooling to replace traditional air cooling or cold plate liquid cooling, so that the server is in direct contact with the cooling medium, enhancing the heat exchange efficiency and reducing the risk of local hot spots. At the same time, combined with the supercritical CO2 heat energy enhancement technology, quickly absorb, transmit and enhance heat, ensuring that the cooling system has higher heat conduction efficiency and lower energy loss, and still maintaining stable temperature control during high-load operation.
[0025] The present invention uses dual-mode heat diversion processing to reasonably distribute excess thermal energy to the heat storage or waste heat power generation system while ensuring the heat dissipation needs of the supercomputing cluster. It uses nano-modified phase change material PCM to achieve higher-density energy storage in a limited space. Compared with traditional sensible heat storage methods, phase change heat storage technology can store and release a large amount of thermal energy with little temperature change, and combine with underground heat storage systems for deep storage, thereby improving the stability and long-term availability of the overall energy storage, and providing support for regional heating or future energy peak regulation.

[0048] As can be seen from the above, during the low load stage, the system realizes large-scale heat energy storage, with a cumulative heat storage capacity of 622.5 MJ, providing a stable heat source during peak load periods.
[0049] The dynamic shunt algorithm ensures that while meeting the cooling demand, 70% of the waste heat is efficiently transferred to the heat storage module, achieving energy balance scheduling between low load valleys and high load peaks.
[0050] Through underground geothermal well coupling, the stored heat energy can be used for district heating during peak demand periods, reducing overall energy consumption and improving energy utilization efficiency.
