[0036] See Figure 1As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a pump-driven two-phase flow system for cooling a large data center computer room, which is mainly used to cool the interior of a computer room H. This pump-driven two-phase flow system mainly includes a two-phase flow refrigerant supply device A, a refrigeration cycle refrigerant supply device B, a cooling water supply device C, a plurality of fan coil units 7 and a plate heat exchanger 8.

[0037] Two-phase refrigerant supply and delivery equipment A is primarily used to deliver two-phase refrigerant 19. It comprises a liquid storage tank 1, a filter 2, a circulating pump 3, multiple electric valves 4, multiple data processing modules A1, and a delivery pipeline A2. The liquid storage tank 1, filter 2, circulating pump 3, each electric valve 4, and each data processing module A1 are primarily connected via the delivery pipeline A2. Each data processing module A1 comprises a chassis 5, multiple evaporative cooling plates 51, multiple heat sources 52, and a manifold 6. Each evaporative cooling plate 51, each heat source 52, and the manifold 6 are disposed within the chassis 5. Each evaporative cooling plate 51 and the manifold 6 are connected to the delivery pipeline A2 via a respective electric valve 4. Each heat source 52 is in thermal contact with each evaporative cooling plate 51. The data processing modules A1 and the electric valves 4 are located within the machine room H.

[0038] The refrigeration cycle refrigerant supply and delivery equipment B is mainly used to deliver a refrigeration cycle refrigerant 20. This refrigeration cycle refrigerant supply and delivery equipment B mainly includes an evaporator 11, a vapor-liquid separator 12, a compressor 13, a vapor phase condenser 14, an electronic expansion valve 15, a liquid phase cooler 16, a ball valve 17, a one-way valve 18 and a delivery channel B1. The evaporator 11, the vapor-liquid separator 12, the compressor 13, the vapor phase condenser 14, the electronic expansion valve 15, the liquid phase cooler 16, the ball valve 17 and the one-way valve 18 are connected through the delivery channel B1.

[0039] The cooling water supply equipment C is primarily used to transport cooling water 21. It comprises an underground pipe 10, a cooling tower 9, and a water pipeline C1 connecting the underground pipe 10 and the cooling tower 9. The water pipeline C1 and the delivery channel B1 exchange heat through the evaporator 11. The underground pipe 10 delivers cooling water 21 via a water pump 101, while the cooling tower 9 delivers cooling water 21 via a cooling tower water pump 91. The cooling water is connected to the water pipeline C1 via a first three-way valve 92. The cooling water 21, which has undergone heat exchange in the plate heat exchanger 8, is then connected to the cooling tower 9 via a third three-way valve 94. This third three-way valve 94 flows through a heat exchanger 95.

[0040] Each fan coil unit 7 is arranged inside the machine room H and is connected to the water supply pipeline C1 through a fan electric valve 71.

[0041] The aforementioned delivery pipeline A2 and water delivery pipeline C1 exchange heat through the plate heat exchanger 8 .

[0042] In this embodiment, when the ambient temperature is below 10°C, the buried pipe 10 mainly supplies cooling water 21, and the cooling tower 9 backfills the surface water; when the ambient temperature is between 10°C and 25°C, the buried pipe 10 and the cooling tower 9 jointly provide cooling water 21; when the ambient temperature is above 25°C, the buried pipe 10 mainly supplies cooling water 21, and the cooling tower 9 plays an auxiliary role in providing cooling water 21.

[0043] During initial operation, the two-phase refrigerant 19 stored in the liquid storage tank 1 is brought out by the circulating pump 3. The flow rate is regulated by the electric valves 4 and distributed to each data processing module A1. Then, it is divided into several branches by the manifold 6 and connected to the corresponding evaporative cooling plates 51. The heat source 52 is located above the evaporative cooling plate 51. The effective heat exchange area of ​​the evaporative cooling plate 51 should be greater than or equal to the size of the heat source 52. Therefore, the two-phase refrigerant 19 absorbs heat from the heat source 52 within the evaporative cooling plate 51, and then passes through several evaporative cooling plates 51 and is collected by the manifold 6 and returned to the liquid storage tank 1.

[0044] In a series arrangement, cooling water 21 in cooling tower 9 passes through a cooling tower water pump 91 and in underground pipe 10 through a water pump 101. After being further cooled by the refrigerated circulating refrigerant 20 in evaporator 11, the cooling water 21 is distributed to each fan coil unit 7 through flow control by the fan motor valves 71. Within the fan coil units 7, the cooling water 21 cools the air in the machine room H, maintaining the temperature within the machine room H within the required range. The cooling water 21 flowing out of the fan coil units 7 then merges and flows into plate heat exchanger 8 to cool the two-phase refrigerant 19 before returning to the cooling tower 9 and underground pipe 10.

[0045] After evaporating in the evaporator 11, the refrigeration cycle refrigerant 20 becomes a vapor-liquid two-phase state. After passing through the vapor-liquid separator 12, it is separated into vapor-phase refrigerant 23 and liquid-phase refrigerant 24. After being compressed by the compressor 13, the vapor-phase refrigerant 23 becomes a high-temperature, high-pressure vapor. It then flows through the vapor-phase condenser 14 and condenses. It then passes through the electronic expansion valve 15 to form the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigeration cycle refrigerant 20, which then merges with the liquid-phase refrigerant 24. The liquid-phase refrigerant 24 is cooled by the liquid-phase cooler 16, then flows through the ball valve 17 and the check valve 18, joining the refrigeration cycle refrigerant 20 that has passed through the electronic expansion valve 15, and begins a new cycle.

[0046] When the ambient temperature is below 10°C, underground pipe 10 primarily supplies cooling water 21, and cooling tower 9 backfills the cooling capacity with surface water. Cooling water 21 from cooling tower 9 then passes through first three-way valve 92, enters plate heat exchanger 8, and then returns to cooling tower 9. Simultaneously, the fluid in the branch of underground pipe 10, driven by underground pipe water pump 102, enters heat exchanger 95 for heat exchange, and then returns, thus backfilling the groundwater cooling capacity.

[0047] Continue reading Figure 2As shown, this is a second embodiment of the present invention. When the ambient temperature is below 10°C, the buried pipe 10 mainly supplies cooling water 21, and the cooling tower 9 backfills the surface water; when the ambient temperature is between 10°C and 25°C, the buried pipe 10 and the cooling tower 9 jointly provide cooling water 21; when the ambient temperature is above 25°C, the buried pipe 10 mainly supplies cooling water 21, and the cooling tower 9 plays an auxiliary role in providing cooling water 21.

[0048] During initial operation, the two-phase refrigerant 19 stored in the liquid storage tank 1 is brought out by the circulating pump 3. The flow rate is regulated by the electric valves 4 and distributed to each data processing module A1. Then, it is divided into several branches by the manifold 6 and connected to the corresponding evaporative cooling plates 51. The heat source 52 is located on the upper part of the evaporative cooling plate 51. The effective heat exchange area of ​​the evaporative cooling plate 51 should be greater than or equal to the size of the heat source 52. Therefore, the two-phase refrigerant 19 absorbs heat from the heat source 52 within the evaporative cooling plate 51, and then passes through several evaporative cooling plates 51 and is collected by the manifold 6 and returned to the liquid storage tank 1.

[0049] In parallel operation, cooling water 21 in cooling tower 9 flows through a cooling tower water pump 91 and in underground pipe 10, through a water pump 101, and then through a second three-way valve 93 before flowing to evaporator 11 and plate heat exchanger 8, respectively. Cooling water 21 flowing into evaporator 11 is further cooled by two-phase refrigerant 19. The cooling water 21 is then regulated by electric valves 71 on each fan unit and distributed to each fan coil unit 7, cooling the air in machine room H to maintain the required temperature. The water then returns to cooling tower 9 and underground pipe 10, flows into plate heat exchanger 8, cools the two-phase refrigerant 19, and then returns to cooling tower 9 and underground pipe 10.

[0050] After evaporating in the evaporator 11, the refrigeration cycle refrigerant 20 becomes a vapor-liquid two-phase state. After passing through the vapor-liquid separator 12, it is separated into vapor-phase refrigerant 23 and liquid-phase refrigerant 24. After being compressed by the compressor 13, the vapor-phase refrigerant 23 becomes a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. It then flows through the vapor-phase condenser 14 and condenses. It then passes through the electronic expansion valve 15 to form the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigeration cycle refrigerant 20, which then merges with the liquid-phase refrigerant 24. The liquid-phase refrigerant 24 is cooled by the liquid-phase cooler 16, then flows through the ball valve 17 and the check valve 18 in sequence, merging with the refrigeration cycle refrigerant 20 that has passed through the electronic expansion valve 15 to begin a new cycle of circulation.

[0051] When the ambient temperature is below 10°C, underground pipe 10 primarily supplies cooling water 21, and cooling tower 9 backfills the cooling capacity with surface water. Cooling water 21 from cooling tower 9 then passes through first three-way valve 92, enters plate heat exchanger 8, and then returns to cooling tower 9. Simultaneously, the fluid in the branch of underground pipe 10 is driven by an underground pipe water pump 102, enters heat exchanger 95 for heat exchange, and then returns, thus backfilling the groundwater cooling capacity.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Other equivalent variations that utilize the spirit of the present invention should also fall within the scope of the present invention. In addition, the present invention may also have other embodiments not listed here.
