TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery thermal management, in particular to a liquid cooling data control method and system for applying waste heat recovery to battery thermal management. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, with the explosive demand growth of information technology, it has driven the development of related new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data. As the infrastructure of information technology, the scale of data centers is also growing larger and larger. Taking a data center with PUE=2 as an example, the specific energy consumption composition is: information technology (IT) equipment energy consumption 50%, cooling system energy consumption 37%, power supply and distribution system energy consumption 10%, and lighting and other auxiliary equipment energy consumption 3%. A large amount of heat generated during the operation of the IT equipment is discharged to the outdoor through the cooling system. If this part of heat can be recovered and utilized, not only can the cooling system load of the data center be reduced, but also the operation energy consumption can be reduced, and a large economic value can be generated, increasing the revenue of the data center. At present, the waste heat recovery of the data center is mainly applied to the heating of communities, companies and other public facilities, and secondly, the waste heat is stored by using a heat storage power station. From this point of view, the application scene of the data center waste heat recovery technology is fixed at present, and the angle and method of using the waste heat are too single, which greatly affects the utilization rate. At the same time, the battery will be affected by internal and external factors and will be aged if it is placed for a long time, and battery thermal management is needed to maintain the performance of the battery.
[0003] Prior art one, Chinese patent, application number 202411132939.3 discloses a light, storage, charging, and vehicle thermal management system. The thermal management system includes multiple channels, a valve body assembly, and a heat dissipation device. The multiple channels are in communication with the valve body assembly. Among them, the multiple channels include one or more of the liquid cooling channels of the charging host, the liquid cooling channels of the charging gun, and the liquid cooling channels of the vehicle-mounted battery. In addition, the multiple channels also include the liquid cooling channels of the energy storage equipment and the liquid cooling channels where the heat dissipation device is located. The heat dissipation device is used to cool the cooling liquid flowing in the liquid cooling channel where the heat dissipation device is located by using a compressor or natural cooling. The valve body assembly is used to control one or more of the multiple channels to be in communication with the liquid cooling channel where the heat dissipation device is located. Although the thermal management of at least two application scenes is integrated to meet the thermal management requirements of each scene integrated in the thermal management system, the resource utilization rate can be effectively improved, and the operation energy efficiency of the thermal management system can be improved. However, only the physical integration of multi-scene thermal management is realized, but the dynamic energy conversion mechanism is lacking, and the waste heat resources are not fully utilized. The traditional valve control cooling liquid distribution method cannot adjust the fluid path in real time according to the temperature field change of the battery pack, which limits the thermal management efficiency. The heat dissipation relies on an external compressor or natural cooling, and the energy consumption is high, and a closed-loop energy recovery system is not formed.
[0004] The prior art two, Chinese patent, application number 202411330995.8 discloses a method, device and equipment for controlling the refrigerant flow of a liquid cooling cabinet, which comprises the following steps: obtaining multi-dimensional data from a data center; simulating the thermal management situation in the data center to obtain a thermal management model; predicting the future thermal load of the data center based on the multi-dimensional data according to the thermal management model or a constructed prediction model; the constructed prediction model is obtained by training a training set, and the training set is obtained according to historical multi-dimensional data; determining a control strategy according to the prediction result; determining a control instruction according to the control strategy; and sending the control instruction to an executing mechanism to adjust the refrigerant flow of the liquid cooling cabinet according to the control instruction. Although the above-mentioned method solves the problem that the refrigerant flow of the liquid cooling cabinet cannot be accurately controlled to adapt to the dynamic thermal load change of the data center in the prior art, and realizes intelligent control of the refrigerant flow, it focuses on the prediction of the thermal load of the data center and the control of the flow, and does not involve the collaborative optimization of battery thermal management and waste heat recovery; the cooling strategy is only for refrigeration demand, and does not have the function of bidirectional energy utilization such as waste heat power generation or preheating of the battery pack; and it lacks cross-system thermal energy migration capability, and cannot realize thermal energy interaction between the data center and the battery pack.
[0005] The prior art three, Chinese patent, application number 202411860822.7 discloses a flexible liquid cooling control method and system for data center distribution, which comprises the following steps: real-time acquisition of total power consumption and total heat generation of the data center; control of the input power of the data center and the total refrigerating capacity of the liquid cooling system based on the total power consumption and the total heat generation, and calculation of the optimal refrigerating capacity of each liquid cooling unit under the highest cooling efficiency; and control of the refrigerating capacity output of each liquid cooling unit according to the optimal refrigerating capacity. Although the above-mentioned method realizes real-time adjustment of the input power of the data center and the refrigerating capacity of the liquid cooling system according to the total power consumption and the total heat generation of the data center, further adjusts the refrigerating capacity of each liquid cooling unit, improves the utilization efficiency of liquid cooling resources and the cooling efficiency, optimizes the overall thermal management efficiency of the data center, effectively reduces the temperature of the data center, and improves the stability and reliability of the data center, the optimization target is the refrigerating capacity distribution of the liquid cooling unit, and the problem of uneven internal temperature of the battery pack is not solved; the control strategy is based on macro thermal load calculation, and cannot accurately adjust the temperature of the single battery; and the energy conversion technology such as waste heat power generation is not integrated, and the system energy efficiency is limited.
[0006] The prior art one, the prior art two and the prior art three have the problems of low energy utilization efficiency, insufficient thermal management response speed and accuracy, weak temperature field uniformity regulation capability and lack of cross-system thermal energy interaction. Therefore, the present application provides a liquid cooling data control method and system applying waste heat recovery to battery thermal management. SUMMARY

[0017] The mechanical action sequence drives the stopcock valve actuator, the main valve core rotates: the reference angle is the target position, and rotates at a uniform speed according to the gradual rate; the slave valve core follows: starts to rotate after a specified delay time, and maintains the same angular velocity; the flow channel cross section is reconfigured: the valve core at a specific angle corresponds to a specific flow channel cross section ratio, forming a linear relationship between the rotation angle and the flow area;
[0018] The double valve completes the space topology construction when reaching the target angle, the pre-cooling mode is 90° position, the first three-way plug valve vertical uplink channel section ratio reaches 95%, the second three-way plug valve vertical downlink channel section ratio reaches 95%, and the horizontal flow channel section is contracted to below 5%; the preheating mode is 75° position: the first three-way plug valve horizontal left channel section ratio reaches 85%, the second three-way plug valve horizontal right channel section ratio reaches 85%, and the vertical flow channel section is contracted to 15%, so that the physical reconstruction of the cooling liquid passage is realized.
[0019] In an optional embodiment, the process of forming a linear relationship between the rotation angle and the flow area includes the following steps:
[0020] The plug valve actuator receives the rotation angle instruction of the mechanical action sequence, activates the three-dimensional curved surface profile in the valve core: when the vertical flow direction is activated, the axial spiral rising conical groove is awakened; when the horizontal flow direction is activated, the radial fan-shaped flow channel is started, and the profile geometric parameters are topologically associated with the target rotation angle; the flow direction identifier receiving the vertical flow direction activation code or the horizontal flow direction activation code and the target rotation angle value, the flow direction identifier is parsed as a profile type selection signal, and the target angle value is converted into a total amount of deformation requirement; according to the flow direction identifier, the basic geometric template of the corresponding profile is activated, and when the vertical flow direction is activated: the initial depth and the spiral angle of the conical groove are loaded, and when the horizontal flow direction is activated: the reference width and the radiation interval of the fan-shaped flow channel are called; the unit angle deformation rate is calculated in combination with the target rotation angle; during the rotation of the valve core, the three-dimensional spiral curved surface with the depth linearly increasing with the angle and the radial flow channel with the width linearly expanding with the angle are continuously formed, and the preset profile geometric shape is accurately achieved at the target angle position; the valve core uniform rotation triggers the physical deformation: the conical groove responds, and the vertical flow channel depth increases by 0.02 millimeters every 1° rotation; the fan-shaped flow channel responds, and the horizontal flow channel width expands by 0.15 millimeters every 1° rotation; through the strict proportion of the profile deformation rate and the rotation angle, the linear conversion of the angle and the displacement is realized;
[0021] The physical deformation is directly mapped to the flow cross section.
[0022] In an optional embodiment, the process of forming a three-dimensional spiral curved surface with the depth linearly increasing with the angle and generating a radial flow channel with the width linearly expanding with the angle includes the following steps:

[0024] The deformation superposition operation is triggered once per unit rotation angle; in the conical groove scenario, the unit depth change amount is accumulated on the current depth reference; in the fan-shaped flow channel scenario, the unit width change amount is expanded on the current width to form a linear relationship between the rotation angle and the deformation amount;
[0025] The cumulative deformation amount drives the physical structure to evolve continuously, the conical groove generates a constant-pitch helical surface through depth accumulation, and the fan-shaped flow channel forms a radial flow channel network through width expansion; at the target rotation angle position, the preset geometric shape is achieved.
[0026] In an optional implementation, the process of generating a constant-pitch helical surface and forming a radial flow channel network includes the following steps:
[0027] The conical groove receives a depth increment instruction triggered by a unit rotation angle, and establishes an axial coordinate reference system based on the initial depth;
[0028] When each unit rotation angle is increased, a fixed angle displacement is pushed in the circumferential direction, and a depth increment is accumulated synchronously in the axial direction to form a constant-angle pitch space trajectory;
[0029] Radial equidistant offset is performed based on the trajectory line, the axial shrinkage rate of the cross section is maintained, and a constant-pitch variable-diameter helical surface is generated;
[0030] The fan-shaped flow channel obtains a width increment parameter triggered by a unit angle, and establishes a polar coordinate grid with the valve core center as the origin; when each unit rotation angle is increased: a new shunt branch is divided in the circumferential direction, each branch is expanded in width according to the angle ratio, and a radial branch network is formed;

[0034] When each unit angle increment is detected, the circumferential motion module: performs a fixed angle displacement promotion, and the axial motion module: synchronously activates the depth accumulation mechanism to generate a displacement coupling event;
[0035] The coupling event drives the coordinate system, accumulates the circumferential displacement amount in the circumferential direction and the axial displacement amount in the axial direction with the initial position as the origin, and continuously generates a constant-pitch space coordinate point sequence.
[0036] In an alternative embodiment, the temperature sensor collects battery monomer temperature and ambient temperature data in real time, and transmits them to the data processor for multidimensional analysis; the data processor performs thermal state evaluation based on the preset battery operating temperature range; the result of the thermal state evaluation forms a control decision signal, which is transmitted to the central controller to trigger subsequent actions;

[0058] Embodiment 1: As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides a liquid cooling data control method for applying waste heat recovery to battery thermal management, comprising the following steps: Figure 1
[0059] Step S100: The temperature sensor collects battery monomer temperature and environmental temperature data in real time, and transmits them to the data processor for multi-dimensional analysis; the data processor performs thermal state evaluation based on the preset battery working temperature range; the result of the thermal state evaluation forms a control decision signal, which is transmitted to the central controller to trigger subsequent actions;
[0060] When it is detected that any battery monomer temperature is not less than the upper limit of the preset battery working temperature range, a pre-cooling mode instruction is generated; when it is detected that the average temperature of the battery pack is not greater than the lower limit of the preset battery working temperature range, a pre-heating mode instruction is generated;
[0061] Step S200: After the central controller receives the control decision signal, the fluid path is reconfigured through the double three-way stopcock valve; the directional migration of the cooling liquid among the data center, the waste heat power generation device and the battery pack is realized, and the dynamic configuration of the heat energy transmission path is completed;
[0062] Pre-cooling mode: close the horizontal flow valve of the first three-way stopcock valve and the second three-way stopcock valve, and open the vertical flow valve, so that the data center waste heat flows through the plate heat exchanger; pre-heating mode: close the vertical flow valve of the double valve, and open the horizontal flow valve, so that the overheated cooling liquid directly passes through the battery heat exchange module;
[0063] Step S300: The reconfigured heat energy transmission path activates the energy conversion mechanism, forming the energy conversion chain of waste heat, electric energy, refrigeration or waste heat, direct heating and temperature control;
[0064] Pre-cooling mode: the plate heat exchanger transmits waste heat to the working medium of the waste heat power generator set, the generator set outputs electric energy to drive the air cooling equipment, and the battery pack is subjected to forced cooling; pre-heating mode: the high-temperature cooling liquid directly flows through the battery heat exchange module to release heat, and at the same time the central controller adjusts the opening and closing ratio of the valve, so as to realize the staged heating of different battery modules through turbulent cooling.
[0065] In the above embodiments, the specific principles are referred to the accompanying drawings Figure 2 This embodiment achieves system-level integration of battery thermal management and waste heat recovery through multi-step collaboration; a three-dimensional temperature field mapping model of the battery pack is established based on a distributed temperature sensor network and real-time data processing; the fluid path switching function of the dual three-way valves enables millisecond-level reconstruction of the coolant flow direction, forming a variable topology liquid cooling network that adapts to the battery thermal state; it breaks through the fixed path limitations of traditional thermal management systems, ensuring that the cooling medium always flows along the optimal heat conduction path.

The preheating / precooling dual modes share the same hydraulic circuit but achieve functional decoupling: the preheating mode establishes a short-circuit thermal path through a horizontal flow channel, utilizing system waste heat for rapid temperature rise; the precooling mode activates multi-stage heat exchange through a vertical flow channel, combined with forced convection driven by power generation to enhance heat dissipation, eliminating structural redundancy in traditional system heating / cooling devices and improving equipment integration. Based on turbulent cooling technology with valve opening / closing ratio regulation, at the battery module level, it achieves: control of non-uniform heat flux distribution, targeted elimination of local hot spots, and equalization of the temperature field, effectively solving the problem of uneven temperature caused by differences in internal resistance within the battery pack. The central controller, as the system-level decision-making unit, establishes a closed-loop control link for temperature signals and valve position commands, a feedforward compensation channel for heat load and power generation, and a predictive adjustment mechanism for environmental parameters and operating modes, forming a collaborative control framework spanning thermal, fluid, and electrical domains.
[0066] In summary, this embodiment constructs a novel battery thermal control system that combines precise thermal management with high energy efficiency by organically integrating the above features. Its core value lies in achieving simultaneous optimization of thermal management energy consumption and battery system energy efficiency.
[0067] This embodiment combines a data center waste heat recovery device with battery thermal management to construct a novel liquid-cooled data center system. Based on sensor monitoring of battery temperature changes, the waste heat, under the control of a central controller, is used for preheating via heat exchange or to generate electricity from low-temperature waste heat (organic Rankine cycle) to drive an air-cooling device for precooling the batteries. The waste heat recovery system utilizes the large amount of waste heat generated by the liquid-cooled data center to address the energy consumption challenges of thermal management from both battery precooling and preheating perspectives, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of data center waste heat and reducing the overall energy consumption of the data center and battery thermal management.
[0068] Example 2: Figure 3 As shown, based on Example 1, the process of forming a control decision signal from the thermal state assessment results in step S100 of this embodiment of the invention includes the following steps:
[0069] Step S101: The raw data collected by the temperature sensor is reorganized in space-time dimensions, the single-body temperature is mapped to a thermal distribution matrix according to the physical position of the battery pack, the environmental temperature data is converted into a boundary influence factor, a dynamic change gradient is generated from a historical temperature rise curve, and a temperature field model containing spatial distribution, boundary conditions and time-varying trends is formed;
[0070] Step S102: The temperature field model is input into a multi-parameter evaluator, the highest temperature point in the thermal distribution matrix and the low-temperature aggregation area are extracted, the environmental coupling coefficient is calculated by weighting the boundary influence factor, the temperature rise acceleration is derived from the dynamic change gradient, and the comprehensive thermal state index is output through a nonlinear fusion algorithm;
[0071] Step S103: The comprehensive thermal state index is compared with a preset threshold, when the index breaks through the critical threshold, a pre-cooling mode instruction is generated, and when the index is lower than a safety baseline, a pre-heating mode instruction is generated; meanwhile, the response level of the instruction is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature rise acceleration value.
[0072] In the above embodiment, the space-time dimension reorganization is realized, the traditional point temperature monitoring is upgraded to three-dimensional temperature field modeling, and the inhomogeneity of the battery pack thermal distribution is accurately captured; the boundary coupling is dynamically weighted, and the environmental temperature is no longer an independent parameter, but is converted into a physical coefficient affecting the boundary heat exchange efficiency of the battery; the response level is self-adaptive, and the temperature rise acceleration value determines the execution strength of the instruction, such as 0.3℃ / min triggering standard pre-cooling and 0.5℃ / min activating emergency cooling; through the three technical breakthroughs of temperature field modeling, multi-parameter fusion and response grading, the discrete temperature data is converted into a control decision with physical meaning, providing an adaptive decision engine for battery thermal management.
[0073] Embodiment 3: Based on embodiment 2, the process of outputting a comprehensive thermal state index by a nonlinear fusion algorithm in step S102 provided by the present embodiment comprises the following steps:
[0074] Step S1021: Extract the core parameters in the temperature field model, convert the highest temperature point value into a thermal runaway risk coefficient, generate an energy efficiency loss index from the area proportion of the low-temperature aggregation area, and map the environmental coupling coefficient as a boundary correction factor and the temperature rise acceleration value as an emergency response weight;
[0075] Step S1022: Perform heterogeneous conversion on the four types of parameters, logarithmically compress the thermal runaway risk coefficient, amplify the energy efficiency loss index by the third power, normalize the boundary correction factor using hyperbolic tangent, and exponentially expand the emergency response weight to generate a standardized feature vector;
[0076] Step S1023: Input the transformed standardized feature vector into an energy conservation model, superimpose the heat dissipation demand item and the heat supplement demand item, and output the comprehensive thermal state index through S-shaped curve saturation processing;
[0077] The heat runaway risk coefficient x the emergency response weight forms a heat dissipation demand item; and the energy efficiency loss index x the boundary correction factor constitutes a heat supplement demand item.

[0127] Embodiment 11: as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the above embodiments, the liquid cooling data control system for applying waste heat recovery to battery thermal management provided by the embodiment of the application is based on embodiments 1-10, and comprises a liquid cooling cabinet 1, a CDU control unit 2, a dry condenser 3, a plate heat exchanger 4, a waste heat generator set 5, a condenser 6, a central controller 7, a battery pack 8, a temperature sensor 9, a first three-way cock valve 10, a second three-way cock valve 11, and a data processor 12.
[0128] The outlet end of the right side of the liquid cooling cabinet 1 is communicated with the inlet end of the CDU control unit 2 through a pipeline, and the inlet end of the left side of the liquid cooling cabinet 1 is communicated with the outlet end of the CDU control unit 2 through a pipeline; the outlet end of the dry condenser 3 is connected with the CDU control unit 2 through a pipeline and a temperature sensor 9; the inlet end of the dry condenser 3 is communicated with the first three-way cock valve 10 through a pipeline and a temperature sensor 9, the CDU control unit 2 is connected with the second three-way cock valve 11 through a pipeline and a temperature sensor 9, the first three-way cock valve 10 and the second three-way cock valve 11 are connected with the plate heat exchanger 4 through a pipeline, the plate heat exchanger 4 is communicated with the waste heat generator set 5 and the condenser 6 through a pipeline; the central controller 7 is connected with the waste heat generator set 5, the first three-way cock valve 10, the second three-way cock valve 11 and the data processor 12; a preheating module is connected with the CDU control unit 2, the dry condenser 3 and the battery pack 8 through a pipeline, and the battery pack 8 is provided with a precooling module and a plurality of batteries, and the batteries are connected with the data processor 12 through a temperature sensor 9.
[0129] In the above embodiments, the liquid cooling cabinet 1 and the CDU control unit 2 of the embodiment form a closed loop, and the cooling liquid circulates between the battery pack 8 and the heat exchange equipment; the temperature sensor 9 collects battery temperature data in real time, the central controller 7 coordinates the valve opening degree after dynamic analysis of the data processor 12-when the battery temperature is too high, the cooling liquid preferentially flows through the dry condenser 3 for forced heat dissipation; if the temperature is moderate, the fluid is guided to the plate heat exchanger 4 through the first three-way cock valve 10 and the second three-way cock valve 11, at which time the system enters the waste heat recovery mode.
[0130] The plate heat exchanger 4 serves as an energy transfer station, and transfers waste heat to the working medium of the waste heat generator set 5, and after the high-temperature medium drives the generator set to generate electric energy, enters the condenser 6 to complete the phase change cycle. The preheating module and the precooling module constitute a two-way guarantee: when starting at low temperature, the system will call the surplus energy of the waste heat generator set 5 to preheat the battery; when the temperature sensor 9 detects local overheating, the CDU control unit 2 will start turbulent cooling, and the cooling liquid is precisely divided by adjusting the opening and closing ratio of the valve to customize the cooling intensity for different battery modules.
[0131] The embodiment converts the waste heat directly discharged in the traditional system into usable electric energy through the coupling design of the plate heat exchanger 4 and the waste heat generator 5. The measured data shows that 15-25% of the dissipated heat of the battery system can be recovered. The hydraulic distribution design of the double three-way cock valves, combined with the millisecond-level response of the central controller 7, can control the temperature difference between each single cell in the battery pack 8 within ±1.5°C, which improves the temperature uniformity performance of the traditional system by 60%. The parallel structure of the dry condenser 3 and the plate heat exchanger 4 makes the total cooling system COP (COP) reach more than 4.8, and the stable heat exchange efficiency can still be maintained at an environmental temperature of 45°C. The waste heat recovery and temperature control are no longer separate functions, but form an organic closed loop of "cooling-recovery-reuse". It is like giving the battery system a smart metabolic system that not only maintains the appropriate working temperature but also converts metabolic products into nutritional energy.
[0132] The liquid-cooled data center of the embodiment is composed of six modules: a data center module, a waste heat power generation module, a battery thermal management module, and a control module. The data center includes a liquid cooling cabinet 1, a CDU control unit 2, and a dry condenser 3. The waste heat power generation device includes a plate heat exchanger 4, a condenser 6, and a waste heat generator set 5. The battery thermal management is divided into a preheating module and a precooling module and a battery pack 8. The first three-way cock valve 10, the second three-way cock valve 11, the temperature sensor 9, the data processor 12, and the central controller 7 of the PLC form the control module. The multiple temperature sensors 9 monitor the temperature of the battery pack 8 and the environmental temperature in real time and upload the data to the data processor 12. The data processor 12 analyzes the temperature data to determine whether the battery is out of the working range of 20-35°C, generates a precooling or preheating demand signal, and transmits it to the central controller 7.
[0133] The precooling mode (battery temperature ≥ 35°C): the PLC starts the waste heat generator set 5, and at the same time, the horizontal flow valves of the first three-way cock valve 10 and the second three-way cock valve 11 are closed, so that the waste heat of the data center flows into the ORC power generation device. The electric energy generated by power generation drives the air cooling equipment to cool the battery. The preheating mode (battery temperature ≤ 15°C): the central controller 7 controls the vertical flow valves of the first three-way cock valve 10 and the second three-way cock valve 11 to switch the pipeline so that the overheated cooling water directly flows into the battery heat exchange module to heat the battery using waste heat.
[0134] The system of the embodiment continuously monitors the temperature change of the battery, and feeds back to the PLC in real time through the data processor 12. If the temperature returns to the safe range (such as the battery <30℃ after pre-cooling), the central controller 7 stops intervention. After the battery is pre-cooled or pre-heated, whether it needs to be switched to the corresponding module is judged according to the battery temperature measured by the temperature sensor 9. For example, when the outdoor temperature is extremely low, the system is still in the pre-cooling mode, causing the battery to be over-cooled, and the temperature sensor 9 detects that the battery temperature is less than 15℃, the central controller 7 immediately responds to control the three-way stopcock valve to close the horizontal valve and open the vertical valve, and the data center switches the cooling water with residual heat from the pre-cooling module to the pre-heating module, realizing intelligent switching of the mode; after repeated dynamic adjustment of the system, the residual heat of the data center is fully utilized for the thermal management of the battery, and the optimal state of the battery storage is maintained.
[0135] The embodiment utilizes the monitoring unit in the control module to reflect the temperature conditions of the battery pack 8 and the outdoor environment in real time, and transmits the data into the data processor 12, and pre-cools or pre-heats according to the corresponding temperature rise and fall of the environment and the battery. For example, in Beijing, the outdoor temperature in July is averagely concentrated in 29℃~36℃, and the outdoor environment temperature exceeds the normal working temperature of the battery (20℃~35℃). In the high-temperature environment, the battery temperature continuously rises, and after the battery temperature is higher than 35℃, the PLC controls the waste heat power generation device to start, closes the horizontal valve of the first three-way stopcock valve 10 and the horizontal valve of the second three-way stopcock valve 11, and the cooling water with a large amount of residual heat enters the heat exchanger of the waste heat power generation device to exchange heat with the low-boiling-point organic working medium therein. The organic working medium changes from liquid to saturated gas to drive the runner, and the runner drives the generator set to generate electric energy. After that, the used working medium flows through the condenser and becomes liquid working medium again to enter the heat exchanger to participate in the next heat exchange, thus successfully completing an organic Rankine cycle, and the generated electric energy is supplied to the pre-cooling module to cool the battery pack by air cooling. The continuous air cooling caused by the waste heat power generation maintains the temperature of the battery at the normal working temperature under the control of the system.
[0136] In winter, the outdoor environment temperature is -1℃~0℃, and the low temperature accelerates the heat exchange and heat dissipation of the battery. When the sensor detects that the battery pack is lower than 15℃, the battery pre-heating module is started, the PLC closes the vertical valve of the first three-way stopcock valve 10 and the vertical valve of the second three-way stopcock valve 11, and guides the over-heated cooling water of the data center to flow into the battery pre-heating module. After several times of repeated heat exchange, the heat is conducted to the battery pack, and the battery temperature is maintained between 15℃~16℃ by continuously pre-heating.
[0137] The present embodiment creatively recycles the large amount of waste heat generated by the liquid cooling system of the data center, intelligently couples it with the thermal management needs of the battery (such as the backup power supply system), and builds an efficient, energy-saving, and sustainable comprehensive system. The core advantage is to realize the revolutionary change of the data center "burden" to the battery "resource", and bring many significant benefits. The most prominent value is to greatly improve the overall energy efficiency and reduce waste: the system monitors the battery temperature in real time through sensors, and flexibly changes the discarded low-grade data center waste heat into treasure under the intelligent control of PLC. When the battery needs to be preheated (such as low-temperature start or cold environment), the waste heat is directly used to quickly heat the battery through the heat exchanger, completely or significantly reducing the dependence on external electric heating; when the battery needs to be cooled, the low-temperature waste heat is introduced into the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power generation device, and the generated electric energy is used to drive the air-cooled equipment to cool the battery, thereby greatly reducing or even replacing the traditional cooling energy consumption driven by the power grid. The on-demand and dynamic "preheating-cooling" intelligent switching not only realizes the efficient closed-loop utilization of data center waste heat, greatly improves the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency, minimizes energy waste, but also directly optimizes the battery thermal management performance: fast preheating ensures the battery performance and charging safety in low-temperature environment, and effective cooling prevents the risk of battery overheating, maintains its operation in the best temperature window, significantly prolongs the battery life and reduces the replacement cost.
[0138] In terms of economic benefits, the system reduces the operating cost of battery thermal management through direct waste heat utilization and ORC power generation, and saves the power consumption of heating and cooling links. At the same time, it finds a high-value outlet for the low-temperature waste heat that is difficult for the data center to utilize, improves the economy of the data center, and the electric energy generated by the ORC can even partially feedback to assist other loads. The environmental benefits are particularly prominent: by replacing external fossil energy power, it significantly reduces the carbon emissions related to battery thermal management; reduces the thermal pollution of the data center to the surrounding environment; and by prolonging the battery life, it indirectly reduces resource consumption and waste battery disposal pressure. In addition, the system enhances the adaptability and advantage in specific scenarios (such as cold regions or high electricity price areas). Through innovative system integration and intelligent control, not only the two key problems of data center waste heat recovery and battery thermal management are solved, but also great energy, economic, environmental and operational values are created, which is of great significance to promote the construction of green data centers and the development of sustainable energy technologies.
