[0050] This invention aims to provide an immersion liquid-cooled heat exchange device and method. By completely immersing heat-generating components such as chips in a low-boiling-point fluorinated liquid, efficient heat dissipation is achieved by utilizing the high thermal conductivity and phase change characteristics of the fluorinated liquid. Simultaneously, the boiling point of the fluorinated liquid is controlled by regulating the pressure within the system to adapt to different power consumption and heat dissipation requirements, thereby enabling overclocking or turbo boost operation of the chip.

[0051] Its complete components include a chip heat sink, which is a boiling heat sink, and the chip heat sink is immersed in a fluorinated liquid, but the fluorinated liquid does not fill the cavity in which it is located;

[0052] The pre-set software is used to determine the chip's operating status and resource usage, and to calculate the chip's target operating temperature and system pressure;

[0053] The pressure regulation and control unit is used to adjust the pressure according to the target system pressure parameters. The pressure regulation and control unit includes a vacuum pump and an air compressor. The vacuum pump and the air compressor are respectively connected to the whole machine components through pipelines. The vacuum pump is used to extract gas from the cavity to reduce the pressure, and the air compressor is used to inject gas into the cavity to increase the pressure.

[0054] Temperature and pressure sensing components are used to detect temperature at associated locations and monitor system pressure.

[0055] The following is combined Figure 1-6 As shown, an explanation will be provided.

[0056] This disclosure provides an immersion liquid-cooled heat exchange device, including a complete system, a pressure regulation and control component, a temperature and pressure detection feedback regulation mechanism, and a preset software component.

[0057] The complete system includes a conventional electronic control unit, server, or main control unit; a sealed metal casing; fluorinated liquid; a boiling heat exchanger 3-3; and a condenser (or an air-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8). The sealed metal casing houses the fluorinated liquid and heating elements, with the fluorinated liquid serving as the heat transfer medium. The boiling heat exchanger 3-3 and the condenser (or air-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8) dissipate heat to the external environment.

[0058] The pressure regulation and control components include a vacuum pump 3-21, an air compressor 4, and a safety relief valve. The vacuum pump 3-21 extracts gas from the sealed metal casing, reducing pressure and thus lowering the boiling point of the fluorinated liquid. The air compressor 4 injects gas into the sealed metal casing, increasing pressure and raising the boiling point. The safety relief valve automatically releases pressure when it becomes too high, ensuring system safety.

[0059] Temperature and pressure detection feedback regulation mechanism: This includes a control feedback mechanism for the temperature sensor, pressure gauge 3-5, vacuum pump 3-21, air compressor 4, and condenser (or air-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8). The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the heating element, radiator, and fluorinated liquid in real time; the pressure gauge 3-5 is used to monitor the pressure inside the sealed metal casing in real time. Based on the temperature and pressure signals, the control system adjusts the operating status of the vacuum pump 3-21, air compressor 4, and condenser (or air-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8) through a preset software algorithm to achieve efficient heat dissipation and temperature control.

[0060] The preset software section is used to preset the operating state percentages of large-scale software and critical application software, and to set temperature and pressure thresholds based on chip power consumption and heat dissipation requirements. The control system automatically adjusts the operating state of the air pressure regulation control components and the temperature and pressure detection feedback regulation mechanism according to the parameters set in the preset software section.

[0061] In summary, the inventive points of this technical solution are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0062] Pressure-controlled heat dissipation mechanism: By controlling the pressure within the system, the boiling point of the immersion liquid-cooled fluoride is adjusted to achieve efficient heat dissipation. This innovation solves the problem of heat dissipation difficulties for high-power chips, especially when the chip is overclocked or turbo boosted, it can quickly remove heat and keep the chip operating at a low temperature.

[0063] Software preset and temperature and pressure detection feedback adjustment mechanism: Combining the software preset function, the target operating temperature and system pressure are calculated based on the chip's operating status and resource usage. The system status is then adjusted in real time through the temperature and pressure detection feedback adjustment mechanism to ensure that the chip operates at the preset temperature.

[0064] Based on this, this disclosure provides two implementation schemes for external heat dissipation systems: one is an external heat dissipation system combining air cooling and liquid cooling, and the other is a pure air cooling system. Both schemes can achieve efficient heat exchange and meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0065] Example 1: As Figures 2 to 3 As shown, an immersion liquid-cooled heat exchange device is provided, and the external heat dissipation system adopts an external heat dissipation system that combines air cooling and liquid cooling.

[0066] Overall Structure 2: Includes a housing 2-1, a sealing element 2-2, a transparent structural plate 2-3, a pressure plate 2-4, a circuit board 2-5, and a chip heat sink 2-5-1. These components together form a sealed, immersion-type liquid-cooled environment. The housing 2-1 is a sealed metal shell filled with a low-boiling-point fluorinated liquid. The circuit board 2-5 is installed inside the housing 2-1, on which the chip and chip heat sink 2-5-1 are mounted. The transparent structural plate 2-3 is used to observe the state of the fluorinated liquid inside the housing 2-1, and the pressure plate 2-4 is used to fix the circuit board 2-5 and the chip heat sink 2-5-1.

[0067] Pressure regulation and control components: Vacuum pump 1 and air compressor 4 are connected to housing 2-1 via pipelines and are used to regulate the pressure inside housing 2-1. Vacuum pump 1 is used to extract gas from housing 2-1 to reduce pressure, thereby lowering the boiling point of the submerged liquid-cooled fluorinated liquid; air compressor 4 is used to inject gas into housing 2-1 to increase pressure and raise the boiling point.

[0068] Temperature and pressure detection feedback regulation mechanism: This includes temperature sensors, pressure gauges 3-5, etc. The temperature sensors are respectively placed inside the chip heat sink 2-5-1, integrated into the chip, and immersed in the liquid. These sensors monitor the temperature of the chip, heat sink, and immersed liquid in real time. Pressure gauge 3-5 is installed on the top of the housing 2-1 to monitor the pressure inside the housing 2-1 in real time.

[0069] Temperature and pressure signals are transmitted to the control system via lines. The control system adjusts the working status of vacuum pump 1 and air compressor 4, as well as the working mode of the external heat dissipation system, according to the preset software algorithm and temperature and pressure detection feedback mechanism.

[0070] External heat dissipation system: including heat exchanger 3-3, condenser coil 3-7, fan module 3-4, and pump 3-2, etc. These components work together to dissipate the heat inside the enclosure 2-1 to the external environment through liquid cooling and air cooling.

[0071] Control system: Receives signals from temperature sensor and pressure gauge 3-5, and calculates and adjusts the working status of vacuum pump 3-21, air compressor 4 and external heat dissipation system according to preset software algorithm and temperature and pressure detection feedback mechanism to achieve efficient heat dissipation and chip temperature control.

[0072] In summary, in Example 1, the overall component and the temperature and pressure detection component 3 are connected and work together through pipelines, lines and control systems to form an efficient and reliable immersion liquid-cooled heat exchange device.

[0073] Example 2: As Figures 4 to 6 As shown, an immersion liquid-cooled heat exchange device is provided, and the external heat dissipation system adopts a pure air-cooled heat dissipation system.

[0074] Overall Structure 2: Same as Embodiment 1, including housing 2-1, sealing element 2-2, transparent structural plate 2-3, pressure plate 2-4, circuit board 2-5, and chip heat sink 2-5-1. These components together constitute a sealed immersion liquid cooling environment for containing immersion liquid cooling fluoride and for chip heat dissipation.

[0075] Pressure regulation and control components: Same as in Example 1, including a vacuum pump 1 and an air compressor 4. The vacuum pump 1 and air compressor 4 are connected to the housing 2-1 via pipelines. These components are used to regulate the pressure inside the housing 2-1, thereby controlling the boiling point of the submerged liquid-cooled fluorinated liquid and achieving efficient heat dissipation.

[0076] External heat dissipation system: A wind-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8 replaces the heat exchanger 3-3, condenser coil 3-7, and pump 3-2 in Example 1. The wind-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8 includes a condenser plate 3-9, the wind-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8 itself, and a fan module 3-4 with an air guide shroud 3-10. After absorbing heat from the chip within the housing 2-1, the fluorinated liquid circulates between the housing 2-1 and the condenser plate 3-9 via natural convection or, optionally, pump 3-2. The wind-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8 cools the condenser plate 3-9, and the fan module 3-4 with an air guide shroud 3-10 accelerates airflow around the wind-cooled heat dissipation module 3-8, improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0077] Temperature and pressure monitoring feedback regulation mechanism: Same as in Example 1, including temperature sensor and pressure gauge 3-5

[0078] Temperature sensors are located within the chip heatsink 2-5-1, integrated into the chip, and submerged in the liquid. These sensors monitor the temperature of the chip, heatsink, and submerged liquid in real time, ensuring the chip operates at a preset temperature and transmitting the temperature signal to the control system.

[0079] Pressure gauge 3-5 is connected to the air pressure regulation system inside chamber 2-1 to monitor the pressure inside chamber 2-1 in real time. Pressure gauge 3-5 transmits the pressure signal to the control system, which compares the real-time pressure with the preset pressure and adjusts the working status of vacuum pump 1 and air compressor 4 to maintain the pressure inside chamber 2-1.

[0080] The control system receives signals from temperature sensors and pressure gauges 3-5, and calculates and adjusts the operating states of vacuum pump 1, air compressor 4, and air-cooling system based on preset software algorithms and temperature and pressure detection feedback mechanisms. Through the control system, efficient heat dissipation, chip temperature control, and stable system operation are achieved.

[0081] In Example 2, the overall component and the temperature and pressure detection component 3 are connected and work together through pipelines, lines and control systems to form an efficient and reliable immersion liquid-cooled heat exchange device. The pure air-cooled heat dissipation system is used to adapt to different application scenarios and needs.

[0082] In summary, both embodiments achieve efficient heat dissipation and chip temperature control by controlling the pressure and temperature within the system, combined with software presets and temperature and pressure detection feedback adjustment mechanisms. Meanwhile, the two embodiments differ in their external heat dissipation systems, adapting to different application scenarios and requirements.

[0083] Furthermore, this disclosure also provides an immersion liquid-cooled heat exchange method for the aforementioned immersion liquid-cooled heat exchange device, the method comprising:

[0084] The boiling point of the fluorinated liquid is adjusted by controlling the system pressure within the overall component, causing the chip heat sink 2-5-1 to boil rapidly for heat dissipation.

[0085] Based on the chip's operating status and resource usage, the target's operating temperature and system pressure are calculated, and the system status is adjusted in real time through a temperature and pressure detection feedback adjustment mechanism to ensure that the chip operates at the preset temperature.

[0086] The target operating temperature and system pressure can be calculated in real time or retrieved from a database. Preferably, the software presets the chip's operating percentage and temperature control point, and generates a database containing a mapping table of operating percentage, temperature control point, and predetermined pressure.

[0087] Optionally, calculating the target's operating temperature and system pressure based on the chip's operating status and resource usage includes:

[0088] Calculate the target operating temperature of the chip based on its operating status and resource usage.

[0089] The temperature of the chip heat sink 2-5-1 and the boiling point of the immersion liquid are calculated based on the superheat, and the target system pressure is further calculated.

[0090] In some embodiments, the immersion liquid cooling heat exchange method is used in the aforementioned immersion liquid cooling heat exchange device, and the method includes:

[0091] Confirm the chip's operating status and resource usage;

[0092] Calculate the target operating temperature of the chip, calculate the target temperature of the chip heat sink 2-5-1 and the boiling point of the immersion liquid based on the superheat, and further calculate the target system pressure;

[0093] The pressure regulation control component is used to adjust the pressure within the entire component to the target system pressure, while simultaneously controlling the temperature of each module to ensure that the chip operates at the preset temperature.

[0094] As an example, when processing large files, large software programs, or critical applications, the software pre-determines the chip's workload (e.g., 95% CPU or GPU resource allocation) and temperature control points. The software analyzes this data and generates a corresponding pressure database within the immersion liquid-cooled chassis. When using such software, a temperature detection feedback mechanism monitors the chip's real-time operating temperature. When the predetermined operating point is reached, such as 40°C, vacuum pump 3-21 quickly activates, creating a vacuum within the liquid-cooled chassis to reach the system's predetermined pressure. This rapidly causes the chip's heatsink 2-5-1 to boil. Through boiling and condensation heat exchange, the system reaches thermal equilibrium, quickly removing heat while the chip performs overclocking and turbo boost. After overclocking and turbo boost are complete, or when the pre-determined software is closed, the temperature and pressure detection feedback mechanism adjusts based on the existing temperature. If normal pressure operation is required, pressure pump 3-2 activates to restore the chassis pressure to normal, ensuring equipment lifespan and reliability.

[0095] This disclosure has the following beneficial effects:

[0096] High-efficiency heat dissipation: By using immersion liquid cooling, the heat-generating components such as chips are completely immersed in a low-boiling-point fluorinated liquid, utilizing the high thermal conductivity and phase change characteristics of the fluorinated liquid to achieve high-efficiency heat dissipation.

[0097] Flexible Adjustment: The boiling point of the fluorinated liquid is controlled by regulating the pressure within the system to adapt to varying power consumption and heat dissipation requirements. When chip power consumption increases, the boiling point of the fluorinated liquid is lowered by reducing the pressure within the system, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency; conversely, the pressure is increased to raise the boiling point. This innovation solves the problem of heat dissipation difficulties for high-power chips, especially during chip overclocking or turbo boost operations, rapidly removing heat and maintaining low chip operating temperatures.

[0098] Stable and reliable: Combining software preset functions, the system calculates the target operating temperature and system pressure based on the chip's operating status and resource usage. It then automatically adjusts the operating status of the air pressure regulation control component and the external heat dissipation system through temperature and pressure detection feedback to ensure stable and reliable system operation.

[0099] Wide range of applications: This invention can be widely used in thermal management of main unit chassis, servers, self-service electronic products and other fields to meet the overclocking or turbo boost requirements of high-performance chips.
