The liquid storage device is a device for storing cooling medium, such as a liquid storage barrel, a liquid storage tank, etc. That is, when the liquid inlet end of the rehydration pump 4 is connected to the rehydration water tank 3, the system is in the built-in rehydration mode, and when the liquid inlet end of the rehydration pump 4 is connected to the rehydration tube 5, the system is in the external rehydration mode; a pressure detection mechanism is provided on the secondary side circulation pipeline 2, and the control module is used to control the rehydration. It can control the automatic rehydration or stop the rehydration according to the pressure value detected by the pressure detection mechanism, and can start the built-in rehydration mode or the external rehydration mode according to the liquid level value detected by the liquid level sensor 31. The rehydration system of the present invention is integrated in a 4U rack, has a compact structure, occupies a small space, and automatically rehydrates by real-time monitoring of the pressure and rehydration level of the secondary side circulation pipeline, reduces manual intervention, avoids the problem of misoperation, and improves the system operation stability and operation and maintenance efficiency.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the secondary circulation pipeline 2 includes a liquid supply pipeline 21 and a liquid return pipeline 22. The pressure detection mechanism includes a pressure sensor 1 61 and a pressure sensor 2 62. The pressure sensors 1 61 and 2 62 are installed on the liquid supply pipeline 21 of the secondary circulation pipeline 2 and are arranged sequentially along the liquid flow direction of the liquid supply pipeline 21. The pressure sensors 1 61 and 2 62 are redundant to ensure real-time pressure monitoring.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressure detection mechanism further includes a pressure sensor 3 63 , and the pressure sensor 3 63 is arranged on the return liquid pipeline 22 of the secondary side circulation pipeline 2 .

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic liquid replenishment system of the rack-mounted CDU also includes a circulation pump 1 81 and a circulation pump 2 82 , which are connected in parallel. One end of each of the two pumps is connected to the circulating water tank 7 , and the other end is connected to the liquid supply line 21 of the secondary circulation line 2 . The two pumps 1 81 and 2 82 are connected in parallel, with one pump serving as a backup.

[0052] In addition, if Figure 1As shown, a zero-load conducting line 11 is provided between the liquid supply line 21 and the liquid return line 22.

[0055] Example 2
[0056] Based on the structure of Example 1, the present invention also provides a fluid replenishment method, comprising the following steps:
[0057] S1. When the pressure sensor 1 61 and the pressure sensor 2 62 of the pressure detection mechanism detect that the pressure of the liquid supply pipeline 21 of the secondary side circulation pipeline is lower than the pressure setting value, the control module issues a liquid replenishment command;
[0058] S2. The control module determines whether the liquid level of the refill tank 3 is lower than the set liquid level 1. If it is not lower than the set liquid level 1, the refill pipeline 1 is started and the refill is carried out according to the built-in refill mode; if it is lower than the set liquid level 1, the refill pipeline is started and the refill is carried out according to the external refill mode.
[0059] Among them, the rehydration method of the built-in rehydration mode is:
[0060] S31. When fluid replenishment is required, the control module sends a fluid replenishment command, the fluid replenishment valve 9 opens, and the cooling medium in the fluid replenishment tank is replenished to the fluid supply pipeline 21 of the secondary side circulation pipeline 2 through the fluid replenishment valve 9, the tee 10, the fluid replenishment pump 4, and the circulating water tank 7;
[0061] S32. When the pressure sensor 1 61 and the pressure sensor 2 62 detect that the pressure of the liquid supply pipeline 21 of the secondary side circulation pipeline reaches the pressure setting value, the control module issues a stop liquid replenishment command, and the liquid replenishment pump 4 and the liquid replenishment valve 9 are closed.
[0062] The rehydration method in external rehydration mode is:
[0063] S41. When the liquid level sensor 31 detects that the liquid level in the refilling water tank 3 is lower than the set liquid level 1, the control module control system switches to the external refilling mode, the refilling valve 9 is closed, the ball valve 121 is opened, and a warning is issued, prompting that external refilling is required. The quick connector 51 at the end of the refilling tube 5 is manually connected to the liquid storage device. The cooling medium in the liquid storage device is replenished to the liquid supply pipeline 21 of the secondary side circulation pipeline through the refilling tube 5, the tee 10, the refilling pump 4, the circulating water tank 7, the circulating pump 1 81 or the circulating pump 2 82;
[0064] S42. When the pressures of the liquid supply line 31 and the liquid return line 22 of the secondary side circulation pipeline reach the pressure setting values, that is, the pressure sensor 1 61, the pressure sensor 2 62, and the pressure sensor 3 63 all reach the pressure setting values, the circulating water tank 7 and the circulating pump circulate; at the same time, when the pressure on the liquid supply line 21 of the secondary side circulation pipeline is greater than the pressure of the pressure relief valve 122, the cooling medium is discharged to the liquid replenishment tank 3 through the external liquid replenishment line 12; when external liquid replenishment is performed, the liquid supply line is replenished first, and the liquid replenishment tank is replenished at the same time.
[0065] S43. When the liquid level sensor 31 detects that the liquid level of the liquid replenishing tank 3 reaches the set liquid level 2, the control module switches the external liquid replenishing mode to the internal liquid replenishing mode, and the liquid replenishing valve 9 opens.
[0066] The first liquid level is set to 10%-20% of the capacity of the replenishing water tank 3 , and the second liquid level is set to 70%-80% of the capacity of the replenishing water tank 3 .
[0067] In addition, it should be noted that when the system is used for the first time, the external fluid replenishment mode is also used for fluid replenishment.
[0068] The automatic liquid replenishment system of the rack-type CDU of the present invention has a system pressure fluctuation range of ±0.1 bar and a response time of <3 seconds (refer to national standard GB / T 13384-2008) under rated load (50kW), and has good operating stability.
[0069] The replenishment tank takes ≤2 minutes to replenish from the lower limit (20%) of the liquid level to the upper limit (80%), with a flow error of <3% and high replenishment efficiency.
[0070] After 1000 hours of continuous operation, the rehydration system has no faults and the sensor signal drift is less than 0.5%, indicating good operational reliability.
[0071] In summary, the present invention monitors the pressure and liquid level of the cooling medium in real time, and the control module adjusts the fluid replenishment volume and pressure in real time according to the monitoring data. It can automatically switch between the external fluid replenishment mode and the built-in fluid replenishment mode to achieve automatic fluid replenishment, reduce manual intervention, improve system stability and operation and maintenance efficiency, reduce the risk of server downtime, reduce cooling medium waste, and save system operation and maintenance costs.
[0072] The present invention is mainly suitable for liquid-cooled CDU systems in scenarios such as data centers and high-performance computing clusters, and is compatible with cooling media such as deionized water, ethylene glycol (EG25), and propylene glycol (PG25).
