[0002] As the intelligent era accelerates, the computing power demand of infrastructure data centers far exceeds the explosive growth of Moore's Law, and the use of high-computing power servers is becoming more and more common.

[0003] Due to the huge heat generated by the core of high-computing power servers, most servers on the market use liquid cooling, which relies on coolant to directly dissipate the heat of the server core chip. However, in addition to chips, servers also have other electrical components that generate heat. When these electrical components work at high temperatures for a long time, their service life will be severely reduced and frequent maintenance will be required. These electrical components also need to rely on air cooling to dissipate heat. The current cooling unit has a good cooling capacity for the equipment, but a poor cooling effect on the surrounding environment, and needs to be redesigned to meet current work needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a rack-type cooling unit which can output cold air and cold water at the same time, and can output cold air flow to cool down electrical components during the process of outputting cold water, so as to avoid the electrical components from working at high temperature for a long time and affecting their service life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3The rack-type cooling unit capable of outputting cold air and cold water at the same time described in the utility model comprises: a rack 1, a tank body 11 is mounted on the rack 1, a horizontally placed T-shaped partition 12 is mounted inside the tank body 11, the T-shaped partition 12 divides the inside of the tank body 11 into a liquid inlet chamber 13, a liquid outlet chamber 14 and a circulating water chamber 15, an air circulation component and a water circulation component are mounted outside the tank body 11, and a plurality of circulating cooling pipes 2 are mounted inside the tank body 11. It should be noted that the upper left end of the T-shaped partition 12 is the liquid outlet chamber 14, and the lower left end of the T-shaped partition 12 is the liquid inlet chamber 13;

[0022] In the initial state, circulating water flows inside the circulating water chamber 15, and the circulating water liquid level in the circulating water chamber 15 is at the middle height of the circulating water chamber 15. The circulating cooling pipe 2 is in the circulating water chamber 15. The circulating coolant is used to cool the water in the circulating water chamber 15. The cooled water directly cools the server through circulation. Since the server is located in a sealed space, the circulating water cools the equipment. The electrical components on the equipment work in a closed space and generate a large amount of heat, causing the equipment to always be in a relatively hot environment. The gas in the gas circulation component is directly cooled by the water in the circulating water chamber 15. The heat can be directly dissipated from the equipment during the circulating discharge, thereby increasing the service life of the electrical components in the equipment, avoiding short-circuit and scrapping of the electrical components under long-term high-temperature working conditions, thereby extending the working life of the electrical components, avoiding frequent equipment shutdowns and maintenance, and reducing the production costs of the enterprise.

[0023] One end of the circulating cooling pipe 2 is located in the liquid inlet chamber 13, and the middle part of the circulating cooling pipe 2 passes through the circulating water chamber 15 and extends to the liquid outlet chamber 14 at the other end. The part of the circulating cooling pipe 2 in the circulating water chamber 15 is immersed in the circulating water, and the circulating water is directly cooled by the coolant flowing in the circulating cooling pipe 2. The cooled circulating water flows in the equipment to directly cool the equipment quickly.

[0024] One end of the circulating cooling pipe 2 located in the liquid inlet chamber 13 is connected to the compressor 21, and one end of the circulating cooling pipe 2 located in the liquid outlet chamber 14 is connected to the other end of the compressor 21, wherein an oil separator is installed at the connecting pipe mouth of the circulating cooling pipe 2 located at one end of the liquid outlet chamber 14 and the compressor 21. The coolant is partially vaporized after cooling and circulating through the circulating water chamber 15 to form a gas-liquid mixture. The coolant with increased temperature is separated from the oil and liquid through the oil separator, and then compressed and liquefied by the compressor 21. After liquefaction, the coolant is transported to the liquid inlet chamber 13 again through the circulating cooling pipe 2 through the compressor 21, thereby circulating and cooling the circulating water.

[0025] The water circulation component includes a water inlet pipe 111 installed above the tank body 11 and a water outlet pipe 112 installed below the tank body 11. The other ends of the water inlet pipe 111 and the water outlet pipe 112 are directly connected to the two connecting pipe openings of the server respectively, thereby forming a water circulation passage. A water pump 113 is installed in the middle section of the water outlet pipe 112 below. The water pump 113 is used to provide power for water circulation. The water pump 113 drives the cooling water in the circulating water chamber 15 in the tank body 11 to circulate. It should be noted that the outlet direction of the cooled circulating water is below the tank body 11.

[0026] The air circulation component includes an air inlet pipe 114 installed below the tank body 11, the pipe mouth of the air inlet pipe 114 is below the circulating water inside the tank body 11, an air outlet pipe 115 is installed above the tank body 11, and an air pump 116 is installed in the middle section of the air inlet pipe 114. The air pump 116 is provided with a filter layer for filtering the gas. When the cooling unit outputs cold air to the outside, the air pump 116 directly conveys the filtered airflow to the tank body 11 through the air inlet pipe 114, and the airflow enters the circulating water chamber 15, and becomes a cold airflow with a lower temperature after passing through the cooled circulating water, and then is discharged to the external space of the server through the air outlet pipe 115 above the tank body 11, so that the server works in a cold environment, the working environment temperature of the electrical components on the server is low, and the service life is greatly extended, thereby avoiding the trouble of the server needing to be shut down for maintenance due to frequent problems caused by the scrapping of electrical components, thereby reducing production costs.

[0027] A thermometer is installed above the tank body 11, and the temperature of the upper airflow in the circulating water chamber 15 in the tank body 11 can be measured in real time by the thermometer, so that the flow rate of the coolant can be adjusted and the cooling temperature of the airflow can be controlled.
