Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of data center refrigeration, and in particular relates to an immersion liquid cooling cabinet. Background Art

[0002] In the current field of data center cooling technology, single-phase immersion liquid cooling technology has been widely used in cabinets to achieve efficient heat dissipation of heat-load equipment such as servers. However, most existing technologies focus on the installation, layout and optimization of wiring paths of servers, while ignoring the cooling needs of switches, which are equally important communication equipment in data centers. As an indispensable key component in data centers, the stable operation of switches is crucial to ensuring the efficiency and reliability of data transmission.

[0003] In the application scenario of single-phase immersion liquid cooling cabinets, if the installation, layout and routing of the switch are not comprehensively considered, it will lead to difficulties in on-site layout, and non-standard temporary layout may be required. This not only affects the customer experience, but may also have an adverse impact on the normal operation and maintenance of the equipment. In addition, the current technology fails to fully recognize the differences in cooling requirements between switches and servers in immersion liquid cooling environments, and the challenges that such differences bring to the overall system design. Therefore, the existing technology has not yet been able to provide a single-phase immersion liquid cooling cabinet solution that comprehensively considers the cooling needs of servers and switches, which limits the further improvement of data center energy efficiency and the simplification of maintenance work.
