[0002] In a pump-driven two-phase fluid circuit, when multiple evaporators operate in parallel, if the system flow distribution does not match the evaporator's flow resistance characteristics, this can trigger unstable flow drift.

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the drawings in the present application only serve the purpose of illustration and description and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

In addition, those skilled in the art, under the guidance of the contents of this application, can add one or more other operations to the flowchart, or remove one or more operations from the flowchart.

[0050] In addition, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] It should be noted that the term "comprising" will be used in the embodiments of the present application to indicate the existence of the features declared thereafter, but does not exclude the addition of other features.

[0052] The peak heat load of the new generation of airborne electronic equipment, satellite payloads and electric vehicle power batteries continues to increase and has exceeded 100W / cm 2Order of magnitude. Moreover, the above-mentioned heat-generating equipment is usually a plurality of distributed heat sources, which are difficult to be cooled by a single cold plate. The pump-driven fluid circuit heat dissipation technology has gradually become the core solution in the field of high-power distributed heat source heat dissipation due to its characteristics of actively regulating flow and temperature distribution, and its ability to cool multiple distributed heat sources at the same time. Pump-driven fluid circuits are divided into single-phase fluid circuits and two-phase fluid circuits according to whether the flowing working fluid undergoes phase change. The pump-driven single-phase fluid circuit relies on the sensible heat transfer of the working fluid and has the advantages of simple structure and stable flow control. In comparison, the pump-driven two-phase fluid circuit carries away heat in the form of latent heat through the vaporization phase change of the working fluid in the evaporator, which can significantly improve the heat transfer efficiency and temperature uniformity. However, due to the dynamic coupling characteristics of the gas-liquid two-phase flow, the pump-driven two-phase fluid circuit has the problem of flow instability, especially the flow drift phenomenon under the parallel evaporator architecture, which restricts the large-scale engineering application of the pump-driven two-phase fluid circuit.

[0053] In a pump-driven two-phase fluid circuit, when multiple evaporators operate in parallel, a mismatch between the system flow distribution and the evaporator's flow resistance characteristics can trigger unstable flow drift. Specifically, this can manifest as a sudden drop in the working fluid flow rate in one evaporator due to a sudden increase in local resistance or a fluctuating heat load, while the flow rate in other evaporators increases abnormally. This phenomenon can cause localized drying and overheating of the evaporator, and in severe cases, lead to heat dissipation failure and equipment burnout. Therefore, to ensure the proper operation of the cooling system in a pump-driven two-phase fluid circuit, it is necessary to test and determine the unstable flow drift range of the parallel evaporators.

[0054] Existing methods for predicting the unstable flow drift range of parallel evaporators primarily rely on experimental or simulation methods. Experimental testing of this range typically relies on a multi-evaporator parallel test bench, increasing the complexity and cost of the setup. Simulation-based prediction methods for this range rely primarily on empirical formulas or simplified models established by previous researchers, failing to fully consider the dynamic flow characteristics of the evaporator. Furthermore, these simulation-based prediction methods are only applicable to geometrically simple evaporators and struggle to predict the unstable flow drift range for complex evaporator structures.

[0055] Based on this, the present invention provides a method, device, equipment, and medium for determining the unstable range of flow rate drift in parallel evaporators. By testing the flow characteristic curve of a single evaporator and combining it with theoretical criteria, the unstable range of flow rate drift can be quickly determined, providing a basis for the design optimization and engineering application of two-phase fluid circuits. This is described below through an example.

[0056] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for determining an unstable range of flow drift of parallel evaporators provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein the method includes steps S101-S103; specifically:

[0057] S101, connecting any target evaporator in the parallel evaporators to a test system, and testing the target evaporator using a first test method based on first flow characteristic data to obtain a first unstable interval;

[0058] S102, verifying the first unstable interval, and if the first unstable interval does not meet the preset accuracy requirement, adjusting the first flow characteristic data in the first test method to obtain adjusted second flow characteristic data;

[0059] S103: Test the target evaporator using a second test method based on the second flow characteristic data to obtain a second unstable interval.

[0060] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0061] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the unstable interval of an evaporator, which acts on a test system, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the test system is a pump-driven two-phase fluid circuit test bench, specifically including a liquid reservoir, a constant flow pump, a preheater, a heating plate, a DC power supply, a condenser, and a water chiller. Key measuring instruments include a flow meter, a pressure gauge, a thermometer, and a differential pressure sensor. It is important to note that the use of a constant flow pump (such as a plunger pump) can provide a stable working fluid flow during the test, avoiding flow drift in the single evaporator itself. The differential pressure sensor should be fixed at both ends of the evaporator as much as possible to ensure the most accurate pressure drop data measurement results.

[0062] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining an unstable interval of an evaporator, and the inventive concept is to measure any target evaporator in parallel evaporators (including multiple identical evaporators) based on different methods to ensure measurement accuracy. Specifically, the embodiment of the present application uses a first test method to test the target evaporator to obtain a first unstable interval, and then verifies the first unstable interval. In actual business scenarios, there are cases where the first unstable interval has met the business accuracy requirements, and there are also cases where the business accuracy requirements are not met. In the case where the first unstable interval does not meet the business accuracy requirements, the embodiment of the present application uses a second test method to test the target evaporator again to determine the second unstable interval.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, the first testing method is performed based on first flow characteristic data, while the second testing method is performed based on second flow characteristic data. The amount of second flow characteristic data and first flow characteristic data is greater than the amount of first flow characteristic data. Specifically, the first flow characteristic data includes pressure drop data, while the second flow characteristic data includes pressure drop data and pressure drop amplitude data. In other words, in the embodiments of the present application, the first testing method is performed based on pressure drop data, while the second testing method is performed based on pressure drop data and pressure drop amplitude data.

[0064] During implementation, the present embodiment acquires the first and second flow characteristic data in the following manner: A target evaporator of a certain configuration is connected to a pump-driven two-phase fluid circuit. The temperature within the reservoir is set to the desired saturation temperature, the preheater temperature is set to the desired inlet temperature, and the heater power is maintained at the desired test power (either the first heating power or the second heating power). The pumping flow rate is adjusted to a maximum value to maintain a single-phase liquid at the evaporator outlet. The pumping flow rate is then gradually reduced, and the corresponding pressure drop data and pressure drop amplitude data are recorded for each flow rate.

[0065] When acquiring flow characteristic data, to ensure data accuracy, the pressure drop data corresponding to each flow rate is averaged to obtain steady-state pressure drop data, which is used as the first flow characteristic data or the second flow characteristic data. The pressure drop data corresponding to each flow rate is averaged to eliminate abnormal points and then the extreme value is taken to obtain dynamic pressure drop amplitude data, which is used as the second flow characteristic data.

[0066] For the first test method: Based on a first fitting algorithm, the pressure drop data is fitted to obtain a first fitting function; the first unstable interval is determined based on the extreme value points in the first fitting function. Preferably, a check mark function is used to fit the pressure drop data to obtain the first fitting function; the first unstable interval is determined based on the target flow rate data corresponding to the minimum value points in the first fitting function.

[0067] For example, take the flow rate as the independent variable x and the pressure drop as the dependent variable y1, and arrange the data in ascending order by x. In order to ensure the fitting effect, after sorting, the embodiment of the present application also needs to verify the number of pressure drop data. Fitting is performed only when the number of pressure drop data meets the preset quantity requirements. For example, there are no less than 3 data in the negative slope area (including endpoints) of the pressure drop with respect to the flow rate. For the dependent variable y1, the check mark function is used for data fitting, and the check mark function form is f(x) = ax+b / x+c. For the dependent variable y1, calculate the coordinates x_valley and y_valley of the minimum point corresponding to the zero derivative of the check mark function. The part of x < x_valley is taken as the first unstable interval.

[0068] After obtaining the first unstable interval, actual business operations are tested within the first unstable interval to obtain real business data (including the actual voltage drop at the first heating power). The actual voltage drop data is compared with the first unstable interval to determine whether the first unstable interval is accurate. If the first unstable interval is not accurate enough, the second test method is used for testing.

[0069] When using the second test method, the embodiment of the present application needs to adjust the first flow characteristic data in the first test method to obtain the second flow characteristic data. The basis for adjusting the first flow characteristic data here is to take into account the impact of pressure drop changes on the unstable interval. In particular, for a parallel evaporator combination, when the pressure drop of the two evaporators changes instantaneously, the pressure drop of one evaporator increases instantaneously, and the pressure drop of the other evaporator decreases instantaneously, then the liquid flow medium at the inlet is more inclined to flow into the evaporator on the side with smaller pressure drop at this moment, causing instantaneous flow distribution differences. This difference in flow distribution may cause instability to occur in an interval with larger flow. Considering that the root cause of this phenomenon is the instantaneous change in pressure drop, when the first unstable interval is not accurate enough, pressure drop amplitude data can be introduced to determine the second unstable interval.

[0070] For the second test method: Based on the first fitting algorithm, the pressure drop data is fitted to obtain a first fitting function; based on the second fitting algorithm, the pressure drop amplitude data is fitted to obtain a second fitting function; and the second unstable range is determined based on the first fitting function and the second fitting function. Preferably, based on a quartic polynomial, the pressure drop amplitude data is fitted to obtain a second fitting function, and an unstable function is constructed based on the target pressure drop data corresponding to the minimum point in the first fitting function, the first fitting function, and the second fitting function; the unstable function is solved for the extreme value to determine the second unstable range.

[0071] For example, take the flow rate as the independent variable x, the pressure drop as the dependent variable y1, and the pressure drop amplitude as the dependent variable y2; the embodiments of the present application also need to verify the quantity of the pressure drop data. Only when the quantity of the pressure drop data meets the preset quantity requirement, fitting is performed. For example, the number of data points in the negative slope region (including endpoints) of the pressure drop with respect to the flow rate is not less than 3. Further, in order to improve the data processing efficiency, data with less influence is discarded. For the dependent variable y1, the coordinates x_peak of the maximum value point in the negative slope region of y1 with respect to x are extracted, and data points with x≥x_peak are retained. For the dependent variable y1, a hook function is used for data fitting, and the form of the hook function is f(x) = ax + b / x + c; the coordinates x_valley and y_valley of the minimum value point corresponding to the derivative of the hook function being zero are calculated. Data with less influence is discarded. For the dependent variable y2, data points with x≥x_peak are retained; for the dependent variable y2, a quartic polynomial is used for data fitting to obtain the function g(x); according to the obtained functions f(x) and g(x), take the function h(x) = f(x) - g(x) - y_valley, and calculate the maximum value x_uns of the solution of the function h(x) within the x data range; output the flow rate drift unstable interval of the evaporator at this heating power: flow rate < x_uns. The "flow rate < x_uns" obtained by solving according to the above procedure is the flow rate drift unstable interval of an evaporator of a certain configuration. That is, when the system operates in parallel evaporators, if the flow rate < x_uns, it is very likely that a flow rate drift phenomenon occurs, resulting in a significant uneven flow rate distribution between two or more evaporators.

[0072] Based on the flow characteristic test data of a single evaporator, the present application comprehensively considers the steady-state pressure drop data and the dynamic pressure drop oscillation data, and obtains the flow rate drift unstable interval through function fitting and extreme point calculation by a program, saving the test cost. Moreover, since the test data comes from a specific evaporator configuration, the obtained unstable interval has a higher accuracy and stronger guiding significance for engineering applications.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, a method for determining the flow rate drift unstable interval of parallel evaporators and its implementation details are provided. It includes 6 steps:

[0074] Step 1: At a specific heating power, adjust the flow rate from large to small, and test the flow characteristic data of a single evaporator at different flow rates. [[ID=??]] [[ID=??]]

[0075] Among them, the flow rate is adjusted by a constant flow rate pump (such as a plunger pump). At a larger flow rate, it is necessary to ensure that the outlet of the evaporator is in a single-phase liquid state, and then the flow rate is reduced until a relatively complete pressure drop-flow rate "N-shaped curve" is tested, and it is necessary to ensure that there are at least 3 test working condition points in the negative slope region of the pressure drop with respect to the flow rate during the test.

[0076] It should be noted that there are some tags in the original text like and

[0075] which seem to be incomplete or have some issues in the context. I've translated the text as accurately as possible based on the overall content.Step 2: Average the pressure drop data corresponding to each flow rate to obtain the steady-state pressure drop data.

[0077] In step 2, it is important to note that after adjusting the flow rate, it is necessary to exclude data that fluctuates due to pressure drop caused by system response. For example, wait for the pressure drop data fluctuation to decrease until it stabilizes within a certain range, and then take the average pressure drop data over a period of time.

[0078] Step 3: Eliminate abnormal points and take the extreme value of the pressure drop data corresponding to each flow rate to obtain the dynamic pressure drop oscillation amplitude data.

[0079] Similar to step 2, once the pressure drop data stabilizes within a certain range, take the maximum and minimum values ​​of the pressure drop oscillation data over a period of time and subtract them to obtain the oscillation amplitude. If the pressure drop of some data points is significantly larger or smaller than that of other data points, with a difference exceeding 5%, they can be considered outliers and excluded.

[0080] Step 4: Perform function fitting on the steady-state pressure drop data to obtain a steady-state pressure drop function, and calculate the minimum point of the steady-state pressure drop function.

[0081] Step 5: Fit the dynamic voltage drop oscillation amplitude data to obtain the dynamic voltage drop oscillation amplitude function.

[0082] Step 6: Calculate and determine the flow drift instability interval based on the steady-state pressure drop function, the minimum point coordinates, and the dynamic pressure drop oscillation amplitude function.

[0083] Steps 4, 5, and 6 can be solved by function fitting and calculation using a computer program. The calculation program is:

[0084] (1) After starting the calculation, take the flow rate as the independent variable x, the pressure drop as the dependent variable y1, and the pressure drop oscillation amplitude as the dependent variable y2;

[0085] (2) Arrange the data in ascending order of x, and there should be no less than 3 data in the negative slope region (including the endpoint) of the pressure drop with respect to the flow rate. If there are less than 3, the subsequent function fitting may fail or the accuracy may decrease;

[0086] (3) For the dependent variable y1, extract the coordinate x_peak of the maximum point in the negative slope region of y1 with respect to x, and retain the data points with x ≥ x_peak for subsequent function fitting. The remaining data points have little effect on the determination of the unstable interval;

[0087] (4) For the dependent variable y1, the data is fitted using the check function f(x) = ax + b / x + c, where a, b, and c are constants determined by the fitting;

[0088] (5) For the dependent variable y1, calculate the coordinates x_valley and y_valley of the minimum point corresponding to the zero derivative of the check function;

[0089] (6) For the dependent variable y2, the data points with x ≥ x_peak are retained for subsequent function fitting, and the remaining data points have little effect on the determination of the unstable interval;

[0090] (7) For the dependent variable y2, a quartic polynomial is used to fit the data to obtain the function g(x). The specific form of the quartic polynomial is y = d*x^4 + e*x^3 + f*x^2 + g*x + h, where d, e, f, g, and h are constants determined by fitting;

[0091] (8) Based on the functions f(x) and g(x) fitted in steps 4 and 7, take the function h(x) = f(x) - g(x) - y_valley and calculate the maximum value x_uns of the solution of the function h(x) within the data range of x;

[0092] The function h(x) = 0 means that at this flow rate x, the pressure drop curve may enter the negative slope region to the left of the minimum point of the N-type curve due to the superposition of oscillations, thereby inducing flow drift. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the maximum flow rate that can induce flow drift. The flow rate above this value is the range of stable operation.

[0093] (9) Output the flow rate drift instability range of the evaporator at the heating power: flow rate < x_uns.

[0094] In an optional implementation, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further provides a process for determining the flow drift instability interval of the serpentine flow channel 4 evaporator to illustrate the implementation details of the present application.

[0095] A serpentine flow channel 4 evaporator structure used in the actual test is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the evaporator comprises a three-layer structure consisting of an aluminum alloy cover plate 1, a transparent PC plate 2, and an aluminum alloy flow channel plate 3. The aluminum alloy flow channel plate 3 is machined with a serpentine flow channel 4 with a width of 5 mm and a depth of 5 mm. Extending from the flow channel are a liquid inlet pipe 5 and a liquid outlet pipe 6.

[0096] The above-mentioned serpentine flow channel 4 evaporator was connected to the test system, and the loop working fluid was selected as HFE-7000. The saturation temperature in the liquid reservoir was controlled at 40°C, and the inlet temperature was controlled at 25°C. The flow characteristic data of the evaporator were obtained under the conditions of heating power of 50W and 100W. Among them, the actual measured steady-state pressure drop data of the evaporator is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the dynamic voltage drop oscillation amplitude data is as follows Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5It can be seen that the change trend of the pressure drop with respect to the flow rate in the steady-state pressure drop data of the evaporator is N-shaped, that is, as the flow rate increases, the pressure drop increases first, decreases in the middle, and then increases again. Figure 5 It can be seen that the oscillation amplitude of the pressure drop of the evaporator shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of flow rate.

[0097] The steady-state pressure drop data of the evaporator under 50W and 100W heating powers are fitted, and the obtained check function fitting results are as follows: Figure 6 The figure also shows the turning point, (x_valley, y_valley). In the range x > x_valley, the tick function fit results are consistent with the measured data trend and have high accuracy.

[0098] The evaporator pressure drop oscillation amplitude data under 50W and 100W heating power were fitted, and the obtained quartic function fitting results were as follows: Figure 7 In the range of x>x_valley, the quartic function fitting results are consistent with the measured data trend and have high accuracy.

[0099] Under a heating power of 50W, the flow rate drift unstable range of the serpentine flow channel 4 evaporator is flow rate <119.8mL / min; similarly, under a heating power of 100W, the flow rate drift unstable range of the serpentine flow channel 4 evaporator is flow rate <221.5mL / min.

[0100] The comparison between the flow rate drift interval determined in this application and the measured flow rate drift data is as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that at a heating power of 50W, the evaporator has flow rate drift when the flow rate is slightly less than 120mL / min, that is, the flow rate difference between the two evaporators increases significantly; at a heating power of 100W, the evaporator has flow rate drift when the flow rate is between 220mL / min and 230mL / min. Figure 8 The dotted line in the figure is the upper limit of the flow drift unstable interval determined by the method of this application. It can be seen that the flow drift unstable interval determined by this application is basically consistent with the interval where flow drift occurs in actual tests, with high accuracy, which can provide guidance for engineering applications.
