Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of temperature control technology for data centers, and in particular to an immersion liquid cooling server, a matching chip heat sink, and a heat sink optimization design method. Background Art
[0002] Immersion liquid cooling offers excellent energy-saving, silent, and safe operation, and has significant potential for efficient temperature control in data centers. However, because servers are completely immersed in coolant, immersion cooling has inherent drawbacks. These include the small size of IT equipment's structural components and electronic devices, which results in high liquid consumption; and low flow rates, which are insufficient for high-power chips. These drawbacks significantly impact the cost-effectiveness and market penetration of immersion cooling, particularly for the new generation of high-power AI chips, for which traditional immersion cooling performance is no longer sufficient.
[0003] The heat sink is a key component of the temperature control system and the primary carrier for chip heat dissipation. Its performance plays a crucial role in determining the performance and cost of the chip temperature control system. Currently, most commonly used immersion-cooled heat sinks use the same design as air-cooled heat sinks. Due to the low liquid flow rate within immersion-cooled servers and the large cross-sectional area of the servers, the liquid cannot centrally cool key heat sources such as chips, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency. Current immersion cooling is primarily targeted at low- to medium-power chips under 300 watts. For high-power chips over 300 watts, immersion cooling is rarely used due to the limited heat exchange performance of traditional immersion heat sinks. Summary of the Invention

[0077] The heat sink upper cover plate 110 disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention is a semi-enclosed shell structure.
[0078] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a heat sink optimization design method, which is used to design the aforementioned supporting chip heat sink 100, referring to Figure 5 , including the following steps:

[0086] S410 , for each design parameter combination, simulation or testing is performed at several flow rate values to obtain temperature rise data and flow resistance data for each design parameter combination.
[0087] The S500 disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention trains a neural network for heat sink design based on temperature rise data and flow resistance data, including the following steps:

[0092] As an optional implementation, the present invention uses simulation or measured data to train a model, quickly evaluating a large number of design parameters and selecting the optimal heat sink design parameters. The heat sink performance optimization method, with flow resistance as the limiting value and minimum temperature rise as the goal, proceeds as follows:
[0093] Step 1: Generate training data using simulation or testing:
[0094] 1. Determine the design parameter range: Take N1 fin height values; take N2 fin thickness values; take N3 fin spacing values; combine these parameters to form N types of heat sink structure design parameters (N = N1 × N2 × N3).
[0095] 2. Determine the flow range: take M flow values.
[0096] 3. Obtain data through simulation or testing: For each heat sink structural design parameter (N types), simulate or test at M flow rates; record the temperature rise and flow resistance data for each combination; and ultimately generate M×N sets of data.

[0112] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present invention further provides an immersion liquid cooling server 300, referring to Figure 6 , including a server upper cover plate 310, a liquid block 320, and a front supporting chip heat sink 100;
[0113] The server cover 310 is used to cover the top of the server and protect the internal components of the server;
[0114] The liquid block 320 is used to cover the entire mainboard area and maintain a preset distance from the mainboard to prevent interference with electronic devices;
[0115] The supporting chip heat sink 100 is used to dissipate heat from the chip 200.
[0116] The liquid block 320 disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention includes a groove structure 321 and a slope surface structure 322; the distance between the bottom surface of the liquid block 320 and the main board is several millimeters to more than ten millimeters;
[0117] The groove structure 321 and the slope surface structure 322 are connected;
[0118] The groove structure 321 corresponds to the raised components on the motherboard; the raised components include the chip 200 and the memory module;
[0119] The groove structure 321 and the slope surface structure 322 are used to reduce the flow resistance of the coolant.
[0120] As an optional implementation, refer to Figure 7 Bottom view of the liquid block, Figure 8Cross-sectional view of the liquid block along the chip position and Figure 9 The cross-sectional view of the liquid block along the memory bar position shows that the groove structure 321 includes a groove 3211 above the chip heat sink and a groove 3212 above the memory bar. The liquid block 320 has an edge slope 323 on the side where the coolant flows in.
[0121] The present invention provides a dedicated liquid-cooled server for use in immersion liquid-cooled data centers, a matching high-power chip heat sink, and an optimized design method thereof. The server is equipped with a specially designed liquid-occupying block within the server, resulting in low liquid consumption and low flow resistance.
[0122] The matching chip heat sink proposed in the embodiment of the present invention consists of two major parts: a heat sink upper cover plate 110 and a heat sink core 120. The heat sink upper cover plate 110 is made of a material with good rigidity, and the heat sink core 120 is assembled by a soft cover plate 121 and a substrate fin-type metal body 122. The bottom of the heat sink core 120 is attached to the chip 200 to absorb the heat of the chip 200. The substrate thickness of the heat sink core 120 is small, the thermal resistance is small, the contact pressure between the heat sink and the chip is uniform, the flow resistance is easy to control, and the potential for heat exchange performance optimization is large; the heat sink adopts an assembly process as a whole, which effectively avoids the high cost problem of traditional brazing heat sink process.
[0123] The present invention also proposes an optimization design method and process for this type of heat sink, which can train a neural network model based on limited measured data or simulation data, and utilize the high efficiency of neural network reasoning to evaluate a large number of design parameters and select the optimal heat sink design parameters. It has important application value for optimizing the performance of high-power chip heat sinks, reducing flow resistance, and addressing the high energy consumption problems of the new generation of computing power centers.
[0124] As an optional embodiment, the supporting chip heat sink 100 of the present invention includes the following key designs:
[0125] 1) The server is designed with a special integrated liquid block (see Figure 6 The server cover 310 and liquid block 320 are shown in the figure: Liquid block 320 covers the entire motherboard area, with its bottom surface a few to ten millimeters away from the motherboard. This distance prevents collision and interference between liquid block 320 and most electronic components. Because liquid block 320 occupies a large amount of space inside the server, it saves a large amount of coolant and reduces the overall weight of the liquid cooling system.
[0126] 2) The liquid block has grooves in the areas where the memory sticks, chips and other components have more protrusions (see Figure 7 The groove 3211 above the chip heat sink, the groove 3212 above the memory bar), the front and rear sides of the groove are sloped ( Figure 7Slope surface structure 322): The presence of the groove prevents interference between the liquid block and the protruding electronic components. The slope surface structures 322 in front and behind the groove help the coolant flow uniformly in the groove area and reduce flow resistance. It should be noted that the slope surface structure 322 is not limited to a flat surface and can be other types of curved surfaces.
[0127] 3) The edge of the liquid block is provided with an inclined slope on the side where the coolant flows in ( Figure 7 The edge slope 323 is used to guide the coolant flow, thereby preventing the increase in flow resistance caused by vertical walls in the coolant flow path. It should be noted that the edge slope 323 is not limited to a flat surface and can be other types of curved surfaces.
[0128] 4) The supporting chip heat sink 100 is made of a heat sink cover plate ( Figure 1 heat sink upper cover plate 110) and heat sink core ( Figure 1 The heat sink core 120 is composed of a heat sink upper cover 110, which applies pressure to the upper surface of the heat sink core 120: the heat sink upper cover 110 is made of a metal or non-metallic material with good rigidity. When the heat sink upper cover 110 is pressed against the circuit board using spring bolts passing through the fixing holes, the heat sink upper cover 110 evenly distributes the pressure applied by the spring bolts to the upper surface of the heat sink core 120, and then evenly applies pressure to the surface of the chip 200 through the heat sink core 120, so that the heat sink core 120 and the chip 200 fit well. This force-bearing structure has low rigidity requirements for the heat sink core 120, which can prevent the heat sink core 120 from being subjected to concentrated force at the corners and causing warping deformation, providing a larger structural parameter design space for optimizing the heat sink's heat dissipation performance;
[0129] 5) The heat sink core 120 is composed of a soft cover plate 121 and a base plate fin type metal body 122: The heat sink core 120 proposed in the embodiment of the present invention is composed of two parts: a soft cover plate 121 (see Figure 2 Soft cover 121), substrate fin type metal body 122 (see Figure 2 The soft cover 121 and the fin 1221 form a series of parallel flow channels for efficient flow and heat exchange of the coolant;
[0130] 6) The soft cover plate 121 is made of an elastic material: the soft cover plate 121 can produce elastic deformation under the pressure of the heat sink upper cover plate 110, which is used to compensate for the slight deformation of the heat sink upper cover plate 110 under the pressure of the spring bolts, and evenly distribute the pressure applied by the heat sink upper cover plate 110 to the top of the fins 1221, avoiding uneven force caused by contact between hard materials;
[0131] 7) The soft cover 121 and the base fin type metal body 122 are assembled in a simple and inexpensive manner: the soft cover 121 and the base fin type metal body 122 of the present invention are directly locked by bolts 123 ( Figure 2 The bolts 123 do not require special sealing, and slight leakage is allowed at the joint. Because the soft cover 121 itself has a certain degree of elasticity, there is no need to use sealing strips, adhesives or other auxiliary sealing materials between the soft cover 121 and the base fin-type metal body 122, and there is no need to use high-cost connection methods such as welding. The process is simple and the cost is low.
[0132] 8) The heat sink upper cover plate 110 and the soft cover plate 121 are provided with strip-shaped inlets (the strip-shaped inlet of the heat sink upper cover plate 110 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 The first strip entrance 111 and the strip entrance of the soft cover 121 are shown in FIG. Figure 2 The second strip-shaped inlet 1211 is perpendicular to the fins 1221. The coolant enters the strip-shaped liquid distribution hole at high speed under the pressure of the pipeline, and is then distributed to the gaps between the fins 1221. It flows out from the gaps between the fins 1221 and takes away the heat energy absorbed by the bottom of the core.
[0133] 9) The heat sink cover plate 110 is a semi-enclosed shell structure: the coolant discharged from the fin gap impacts the side wall of the heat sink cover plate 110 and then returns inside the semi-enclosed shell, forming a turbulent flow with high heat exchange capacity. The turbulent flow passes around the chip (after the coolant is discharged from the heat sink core 120, the flow path inside the shell is shown). Figure 10 10A), three-dimensional heat dissipation is performed around the chip 200; the coolant is guided through the semi-enclosed shell structure of the heat sink upper cover 110 and then discharged from the open side of the shell of the heat sink upper cover 110 (the coolant discharge path from the heat sink upper cover 110 is shown in FIG. Figure 10 10B);
[0134] 10) The fins 1221 of the substrate fin type metal body 122 are cut (see Figure 4 The cutting structure 1221a of the fin 1221 is cut into grooves at the bottom of the substrate 1222 (see FIG. Figure 4 The first groove 1222a) is engraved with a plurality of grooves in a direction parallel to the fin 1221 (see Figure 4 Second grooves 1222b): This design divides the base plate 1222 and fins 1221 into several smaller sections. Due to the thin connections between these sections and the excellent ductility of copper, the uniform pressure applied from the top further improves the microscopic fit between each section and the surface of the chip 200, further reducing the contact thermal resistance between the chip 200 and the accompanying chip heat sink 100. When liquid metal thermal interface material is used between the heat sink core 120 and the chip 200, the grooves at the bottom of the base plate 1222 can absorb some of the melted liquid metal, helping to prevent it from overflowing the contact surface.
[0135] As an optional embodiment, the present invention provides a performance optimization method for a matching chip heat sink, which can obtain the best heat dissipation performance and energy-saving characteristics under the set target technical parameters:
[0136] Flow resistance has an important impact on the energy-saving characteristics of liquid cooling equipment. It should be considered at the beginning of heat sink design. The heat sink performance optimization method with flow resistance as the limit value and minimum temperature rise as the goal is as follows: Figure 11 .
[0137] refer to Figure 12 , heat sink performance optimization method with temperature rise as the limit value and minimum flow resistance as the goal:
[0138] Step 1: Generate training data using simulation or testing:
[0139] 1. Determine the design parameter range: Take N1 fin height values; take N2 fin thickness values; take N3 fin spacing values; combine these parameters to form N types of heat sink structure design parameters (N = N1 × N2 × N3).
[0140] 2. Determine the flow range: take M flow values.
[0141] 3. Obtain data through simulation or testing: For each heat sink structural design parameter (N types), simulate or test at M flow rates; record the temperature rise and flow resistance data for each combination; and ultimately generate M×N sets of data.
[0142] Step 2: Use the generated data to train the neural network:
[0143] 1. Determine input and output:
[0144] Input parameters: fin height, fin thickness, fin spacing, temperature rise.
[0145] Output parameters: flow rate, flow resistance.
[0146] 2. Use the M×N data generated in step 1 to train the neural network model.
[0147] 3. After training, the neural network can predict the corresponding flow rate and flow resistance based on the input design parameters (wing height, wing thickness, wing spacing, flow resistance).
[0148] Step 3: Input the design parameters to be evaluated into the neural network:
[0149] 1. Determine the range of design parameters to be evaluated: Take K1 fin height values; take K2 fin thickness values; take K3 fin spacing values; combine these parameters to form K types of heat sink structural design parameters to be evaluated (K = K1 × K2 × K3).
[0150] 2. Enter the target temperature rise value.
[0151] 3. Input each set of design parameters (wing height, wing thickness, wing spacing) and target temperature rise into the trained neural network.
[0152] 4. Neural network reasoning calculates the flow rate and flow resistance corresponding to each set of parameters, generating a total of K1×K2×K3 sets of data.
[0153] Step 4: Select the best design parameters:
[0154] 1. From the K1×K2×K3 data set generated in step 3, select the design that meets the target temperature rise requirements.
[0155] 2. In the design that meets the temperature rise requirements, select the set of parameters with the smallest flow resistance. This set of parameters is the optimal heat sink design parameters.
