Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of data center heat dissipation technology, and discloses a liquid cooling heat dissipation system and control method based on dual-cycle dynamic switching. Targeting the heat dissipation needs of high-power-density server racks in compact computer rooms, the system achieves precise heat dissipation at the chip level through intelligent coordinated control of liquid cooling and air cooling, while supporting higher-density server deployment and meeting the dual requirements of modular data centers for space efficiency and heat dissipation stability. Background Technology

[0002] As data center power density continues to rise, advanced heat dissipation technology has become crucial for ensuring stable operation. Currently, single-phase direct liquid cooling technology for high heat flux density chips and backplane heat exchanger technology for handling waste heat within the server rack are two mainstream and efficient solutions in the industry.

[0003] Chip-level liquid cooling systems can precisely and efficiently remove high-grade heat (typically in the 60-80°C range) generated by chips, while air-cooled backplane heat exchangers effectively absorb low-grade heat (typically in the 30-40°C range) exhausted from the server rack. Combining these two technologies to handle different levels and grades of heat is a recognized advanced heat dissipation strategy in the industry, representing a significant improvement in heat dissipation efficiency compared to traditional data center air conditioning solutions.

[0004] In mainstream engineering practice, to ensure system stability and controllability, chip cold plate circulation and rack backplane circulation are typically designed as two functionally independent and physically separated subsystems. This separated architecture aims to maximize modularity and independent controllability. Each thermal management loop can be independently optimized and deployed for its specific operating temperature range without interference, thus ensuring extremely high operational safety, stability, and reliability for the entire system. This architecture is a mature and effective deployment model in many data center scenarios.

[0005] To adapt to different seasonal environmental conditions, data center cooling systems often require both mechanical cooling (such as vapor compression refrigeration cycles) and natural cooling modes. In traditional solutions, these two functional modes usually correspond to independent, dedicated outdoor cooling devices (such as chiller units and dry coolers). While this ensures design simplicity, it also further increases the equipment's footprint and investment costs.

[0006] Meanwhile, as data centers evolve towards higher deployment density, extreme energy efficiency, and deeper intelligent operation and maintenance, the industry has begun to focus on and explore new system forms that differ from traditional discrete architectures. Against this backdrop, an innovative technical concept has been proposed: could the two originally independent liquid cooling circuits be integrated and coupled through a redesign of the system topology to explore a new, highly integrated thermal management model?

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a novel coupled heat dissipation system based on heat grade classification. By reconstructing the refrigerant flow path topology, the chip cold plate and the cabinet backplane circulation loop are integrated into a single-loop architecture, and a dynamic thermal regulation mechanism is introduced. This achieves efficient recovery of low-grade waste heat and intensive deployment of outdoor equipment while ensuring chip temperature control accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0018] In another aspect, the present invention discloses a control method for a liquid cooling system based on dual-cycle dynamic switching, used to control the operation of the aforementioned liquid cooling system based on dual-cycle dynamic switching, the specific steps of which are as follows: When the temperature is high or the server power is high (for example, the computer room temperature is set to 26°C, the outdoor air temperature exceeds 25°C, or the chip temperature exceeds 80°C), the chiller 308 starts, and the two-phase outlet end 108 of the rack back panel 103 is connected to the hot side inlet 315 of the second heat exchanger 305. The refrigerant does not enter the multi-channel condenser 303. At this time, the multi-channel condenser 303 is used as the condenser inside the chiller 308. When the temperature is low or the server power is low (for example, the computer room temperature is set to 26°C, the outdoor air temperature is below 15°C, and the actual temperature of the computer room is below 20°C), the chiller 308 is turned off, and the two-phase outlet end 108 of the rack back panel 103 is connected to the hot side inlet A311 of the multi-channel condenser 303. The refrigerant enters the multi-channel condenser 303, and at this time the multi-channel condenser 303 is used as a dry cooler.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. Significantly improved space utilization: By connecting the CDU internal plate heat exchanger with the cabinet back panel in series and reusing the multi-channel flow of the outdoor multi-channel condenser, the separately set chip cold plate heat dissipation unit and the cabinet back panel cooling unit are integrated into a single outdoor unit, reducing the outdoor equipment footprint by more than 40%, which is especially suitable for small and medium-sized data center scenarios with limited space.

[0020] 2. Dynamic energy saving: In summer, it adopts an enhanced heat dissipation mode that is indirectly coupled with a vapor compression cycle and a plate heat exchanger.

Compared with the traditional single cooling mode system, the overall energy efficiency is improved by 25-30% throughout the year.

[0021] 3. Graded protection for heat dissipation safety: Through the physical isolation design of cold plate circulation and backplane circulation, the chip heat dissipation circuit adopts an independent closed circulation, completely eliminating the risk of impurity intrusion; prioritizing the stability of chip temperature (≤65℃), while allowing elastic fluctuation of backplane exhaust temperature (≤35℃), taking into account both the protection of critical equipment and the flexibility of overall temperature control.

[0022] 4. Enhanced Dynamic Load Adaptability: Based on the latent heat transfer characteristics of the two-phase cold plate, it exhibits excellent adaptability to significant fluctuations in chip power, achieving precise temperature control with a chip surface temperature fluctuation range of ≤±1℃. Multi-parameter coordinated control of the variable frequency pump unit, adjustable fan, and vapor compression cycle automatically adjusts cooling output within a 10-100% load range, improving partial load energy efficiency by over 40% compared to fixed frequency systems, making it particularly suitable for the fluctuating heat load characteristics of data centers.

[0023] 5. Adaptable to Diverse Scenarios: This invention's system is suitable for data center rooms of different sizes, especially for those with only a few server racks, where its advantages are even more pronounced. Due to its compact structure, small outdoor equipment footprint, and convenient installation and deployment, it can quickly adapt to the needs of different sites and scales, exhibiting strong flexibility and adaptability, thus meeting the current diversified development trend of data center construction.

[0024] 6.

[0027] To better understand the above-described objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other. Furthermore, the present invention can be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] A specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1-3 A liquid cooling heat dissipation system based on dual-cycle dynamic switching is disclosed, including server rack 101, indoor CDU 201 and outdoor composite heat dissipation unit 301; Furthermore, a server cooling module, a distribution pipe 105, and a collection pipe 102 are provided in the indoor server rack 101; the distribution pipe 105 and the collection pipe 102 are respectively connected to both ends of the server cooling module; the server cooling module includes multiple server cooling modules 104; the server cooling module 104 includes a chip cold plate 111, a chip 112, an inlet pipe 113, a quick connector 114, and an outlet pipe 115.

[0029] Preferably, chip 112 is a high-power chip.

[0030] Furthermore, multiple chips 112 can be installed within the server, with a chip cold plate 111 mounted on the surface of each chip 112. The cold plate has branched flow channels inside to ensure that the refrigerant absorbs heat evenly. The chip cold plate 111 is tightly bonded to the chip 112 through a highly thermally conductive material, and heat is quickly transferred to the refrigerant in the flow channels through the metal wall. Multiple chip cold plates 111 can be connected in series or in parallel.

[0031] Furthermore, a rack backplate 103 is provided on one side of the indoor server rack 101. A porous flow channel network is provided inside the rack backplate 103, and a corrugated fin array is integrated on the outside. A backplate fan 106 is provided on the outer layer of the corrugated fin array. The backplate fan 106 drives hot air to flow over the fin surface, and the heat penetrates the metal and is transferred to the refrigerant inside the backplate 103.

[0032] The fin structure of the present invention can significantly expand the air contact area. When the back panel fan 106 drives the hot air in the computer room to flow through the fin gap of the rack back panel 103, the refrigerant in the flow channel of the rack back panel 103 absorbs the heat of the hot air in the server rack 101 through phase change, and the cooled air re-enters the computer room for circulation.

[0033] The chip cooling plate 111 of the present invention directly provides point-to-point heat dissipation for chips with high heat flux density, while the cabinet backplate 103 handles the dispersed residual heat from other low-power heat-generating devices and ambient heat leakage in the cabinet. The two have a clear division of labor and form a graded heat dissipation system, which not only avoids the problem of uneven distribution of cooling in traditional solutions, but also ensures the temperature stability of key components through heat priority division.

[0034] Furthermore, the indoor CDU201, serving as the core hub connecting the indoor and outdoor environments, includes a first heat exchanger 202 and a CDU storage tank 203. The first heat exchanger 202 comprises a cold side and a hot side. The first heat exchanger 202 includes a first heat exchanger cold-side inlet 206, a first heat exchanger cold-side outlet 207, a first heat exchanger hot-side inlet 208, and a first heat exchanger hot-side outlet 209. The first heat exchanger 202 achieves heat coupling between the chip cold plate circulation and the rack backplane circulation. The hot-side inlet 208 of the first heat exchanger 202 connects to the liquid collection pipe 102 of the cold plate 112 circuit, receiving the gas-liquid mixture refrigerant from the outlet of the chip cold plate 111 and condensing it into a liquid state. The cold-side outlet 207 of the first heat exchanger 202 is connected in series with the inlet 107 of the rack backplane 103 via a pipeline, transporting the refrigerant after absorbing heat from the chip 112 to the rack backplane 103, further absorbing waste heat from the air inside the server rack 101. The hot-side outlet 209 of the first heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the CDU storage tank 203. The outlet of the CDU storage tank 203 is connected to the distribution pipe 105 through the connecting pipe 205. An indoor circulation pump 204 is installed on the connecting pipe 205. The cold-side inlet 206 of the first heat exchanger is connected to the outlet of the storage tank 309. An outdoor circulation pump 310 is installed between the cold-side inlet 206 of the first heat exchanger and the outlet of the storage tank 309.

[0035] Preferably, the first heat exchanger 202 adopts counter-current flow, and the high-temperature refrigerant at the hot side outlet 209 of the first heat exchanger 202 and the low-temperature refrigerant at the cold side inlet 206 form a high-efficiency heat exchange, thereby improving the overall heat transfer efficiency.

[0036] In the above-mentioned implementation process, the closed loop of the chip cold plate circulation ensures the purity of the refrigerant and prevents impurities from entering the precision chip heat dissipation components; the loop of the cabinet back panel circulation is connected in series with the cold side of the first heat exchanger 202, integrating the heat dissipation requirements of the two systems into the same outdoor unit, which significantly reduces the number of outdoor units that are repeatedly configured in the traditional solution.

[0037] Furthermore, the outdoor composite heat dissipation unit 301 includes a first three-way valve 302, a multi-channel condenser 303, a second three-way valve 304, a second heat exchanger 305, a compressor 306, an electronic expansion valve 307, a refrigerator 308, a liquid receiver 309, an outdoor circulation pump 310, a multi-channel condenser hot-side inlet A311, a multi-channel condenser hot-side outlet A312, a multi-channel condenser hot-side inlet B313, a multi-channel condenser hot-side outlet B314, a second heat exchanger hot-side inlet 315, a second heat exchanger hot-side outlet 316, a second heat exchanger cold-side inlet 317, a second heat exchanger cold-side outlet 318, and a multi-channel condenser fan 319; the second heat exchanger 305 includes a cold side and a hot side.

[0038] Furthermore, the outdoor composite heat dissipation unit 301 achieves seasonal adaptive operation through a multi-channel condenser 303 and a valve group switching mechanism. The multi-channel condenser 303 has multiple independent flow channels inside.

[0039] For example, taking a multi-channel condenser 303 with two independent flow channels, the first flow channel (from the hot-side inlet A311 to the hot-side outlet A312) is used as a dry cooler in winter mode; the second flow channel (from the hot-side inlet B313 to the hot-side outlet B314) is used in summer mode and is integrated into the refrigerator 308 as a condenser, sharing the same fin assembly and multi-channel condenser fan 319 externally to save space. The refrigerator 308, the second flow channel from the hot-side inlet B313 to the hot-side outlet B314, and the cold side of the second heat exchanger 305 form a loop. A compressor 306 is installed on the second flow channel from the hot-side inlet B313 to the hot-side outlet B314; the cold-side inlet 317 and the hot-side outlet B314 of the second heat exchanger 305 are connected, and an electronic expansion valve 307 is installed between them.

[0040] Furthermore, the first three-way valve 302 is located at one end of the multi-channel condenser 303 where the hot-side inlet A311 of the multi-channel condenser connects to the back panel outlet 108; the second three-way valve 304 is located at one end of the multi-channel condenser hot-side outlet A312; the first three-way valve 302 and the second three-way valve 304 are connected by a pipeline; the first three-way valve 302 and the second three-way valve 304 automatically switch the refrigerant flow direction according to the ambient temperature: in summer mode, the refrigerant at the back panel outlet 108 of the cabinet back panel 103 flows directly from the first three-way valve 302 into the second three-way valve 304 (without entering the multi-channel condenser). The refrigerant flows from the condenser 303 to the hot-side inlet 315 of the second heat exchanger 305. At this time, the chiller 308 starts and exchanges heat with the refrigerant supplied by the chiller 308 on the cold side of the second heat exchanger 305. In winter mode, the chiller 308 is turned off, and the refrigerant from the outlet 108 of the cabinet back panel 103 flows directly through the first three-way valve 302 and enters the first flow channel formed by the hot-side inlet A311 to the hot-side outlet A312 of the multi-channel condenser 303 (entering the multi-channel condenser 303), and dissipates heat through the ambient air.

[0041] The dual-flow channel of this invention allows the same equipment to support both mechanical refrigeration and natural cooling simultaneously. Outdoors, only a single unit is needed to complete the functions of two traditional units, reducing the floor space by more than 40%. The indirect heat exchange mechanism between the first and second heat exchangers transfers heat through the metal wall, completely isolating the working fluids of the cold plate circulation, back plate circulation, and vapor compression circulation, thus eliminating the risk of cross-contamination.

[0042] The system's dynamic adaptive adjustment function is achieved through multi-component collaborative control. The speeds of power components such as the indoor circulation pump 204 for chip cold plate circulation, the backplate fan 106 for backplate circulation, and the compressor 306 can be dynamically adjusted according to the indoor temperature. The saturation temperature characteristics of the chip cold plate enable it to maintain a stable contact surface temperature even when chip power fluctuates. For example, when chip power increases by 30%, the refrigerant vaporization ratio increases, but the saturation temperature only rises by 0.5-1℃. Combined with the pump speed's second-level response, the system can regain thermal equilibrium within one minute. In the above implementation process, the inherent stability of phase change heat transfer is combined with the dynamic adjustment of external control, which avoids the problem of sudden temperature rise in traditional single-phase liquid cooling solutions and reduces energy waste caused by over-design.

[0043] The system's deployment and operation emphasize modularity and scalability. During installation, the cold plate is quickly mounted to different server chip models via standardized interfaces, and the backplane heat exchanger is bolted to the rack's rear door for easy maintenance and replacement. Outdoor units are connected to indoor units via prefabricated piping, reducing on-site welding and debugging time. Furthermore, during operation and maintenance, a sensor network monitors key parameters in real time; for example, it automatically triggers warnings when the cold plate temperature is uneven and indicates cleaning cycles when dust accumulates on the multi-channel condenser fins, ensuring long-term, efficient system operation. In this process, the modular design not only reduces initial construction costs but also allows the system to flexibly expand with the room size by increasing the number of racks without modifying the outdoor cooling system, significantly improving the return on investment.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

10. A control method for a liquid cooling heat dissipation system based on dual-cycle dynamic switching, characterized in that, The specific steps for controlling the operation of the liquid cooling system based on dual-cycle dynamic switching as described in any one of claims 1-9 are as follows: When the temperature is high or the server power is high, the chiller starts up, and the two-phase outlet end of the rack back panel is connected to the hot side inlet of the second heat exchanger. The refrigerant does not enter the multi-channel condenser. At this time, the multi-channel condenser is used as the condenser inside the chiller. When the temperature is low or the server power is low, the chiller is turned off, and the two-phase outlet end of the rack back panel is connected to the hot side inlet A of the multi-channel condenser. The refrigerant enters the multi-channel condenser, which is then used as a dry cooler.
