Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of heat removal in server rooms, and relates to a heat pipe module system, and in particular to a water-cooled refrigerant distribution system, which is suitable for places where the height installation space of the air-conditioning room in the computer room is limited and the system cannot be driven by gravity but by power. Background Art

[0002] The integration density of cabinet servers in the computer room is getting higher and higher, and the heat generated by the servers is getting higher and higher. Traditional server rooms that use room-level precision air conditioning for cooling will have serious local hot spot problems due to the long air supply distance, high fan power consumption, and chaotic air flow organization in the computer room. Local hot spot problems often have serious consequences, such as reduced server performance (the heat generated when the server is running cannot be effectively dissipated, which will cause the internal temperature of the server to rise, thereby affecting the stability and performance of the server), shortened server life (excessive temperature will accelerate the aging of server components and reduce their lifespan, thereby increasing the cost of server maintenance and replacement), increased energy consumption costs (in order to solve the local hot spot problem, it is necessary to increase air conditioning equipment in the computer room, which will not only increase energy consumption costs, but also lead to unnecessary operation of the computer room air conditioning system, increasing the maintenance cost of the computer room equipment), reduced computer room stability (excessive temperature and humidity will have an adverse effect on the equipment in the computer room, thereby increasing the failure rate of the equipment in the computer room, and may even cause the computer room system to collapse, resulting in greater economic losses), etc.

[0003] In order to solve the high energy consumption and possible local hot spots when the server room uses traditional room air conditioners, a chilled water room air conditioner can be used according to the conditions on site (a chilled water room air conditioner is an air conditioning system that uses cold water for cooling. By pressurizing the cold water, the cold water is transported to the inside of the cabinet, the heat in the cabinet is transferred to the cold water, and then the cold water is taken away for use in the heat exchanger, thereby solving the hot spot problem). Its advantage is that it can reduce power consumption to a certain extent and effectively solve the hot spot problem. The disadvantage is that it requires certain modifications to introduce cold water into the cabinet, which has great safety risks. The heat pipe air conditioning terminal can also be used (such as the heat pipe back panel air conditioner that replaces the rear door of the server cabinet, the heat pipe row air conditioner installed between the rows of cabinets, the top heat pipe air conditioner installed above the aisle of two rows of cabinets, the heat pipe cabinet installed in the appropriate space in the computer room, etc.). The heat pipe air conditioning terminal is energy-saving and efficient, which can effectively solve the problems of high energy consumption and local hot spots of traditional computer room air conditioners. However, the heat pipe air conditioning terminal is usually driven by gravity, which requires a sufficient height difference between the heat pipe air conditioning terminal and the intermediate heat exchanger, and is limited in use in places where the height difference does not meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical issues

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a water-cooled refrigerant distribution system. The water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit is installed on the ground and is suitable for places where the height installation space of the air-conditioning room in the computer room is limited and the system cannot be driven by gravity but is powered by power. While improving the refrigerant circulation power, the refrigerant flow rate can be adjusted to meet the changing demand of the cooling load at the terminal of the heat pipe air-conditioning; the terminal of the heat pipe air-conditioning can be one or more of a heat pipe backplane air-conditioning, a heat pipe row air-conditioning, a roof-mounted heat pipe air-conditioning, a heat pipe cabinet unit, etc., which is not restricted by the height difference with the intermediate heat exchanger and can better meet the needs of different terminal forms in the computer room.

[0006] (II) Technical solution

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0008] A water-cooled refrigerant distribution system comprises a water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit and a heat pipe air conditioning terminal, wherein:

[0009] The water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit includes a sheet metal shell and an intermediate heat exchanger, a refrigerant storage tank, and a refrigerant drive pump arranged in the sheet metal shell, wherein the intermediate heat exchanger is divided into a cold side and a hot side, wherein the cold side inlet is connected to an outdoor cold source through an inlet pipe, and the cold side outlet is connected to a water outlet pipe leading to the outside of the machine room, and the hot side inlet is connected to the gas-phase refrigerant outlet at the end of the heat pipe air conditioner through a gas-phase refrigerant pipeline, and the hot side outlet is connected to the liquid-phase refrigerant inlet at the end of the heat pipe air conditioner through a liquid-phase refrigerant pipeline via the refrigerant storage tank and the refrigerant drive pump.

[0010] The working principle of the water-cooled refrigerant distribution system of the utility model is:

[0011] The intermediate heat exchanger is divided into a cold side and a hot side. The cold side inlet is introduced with chilled water provided by an outdoor cold source through a water inlet pipe. After the chilled water absorbs the heat on the hot side and its temperature rises, it takes the heat out of the machine room through a water outlet pipe connected to its cold side outlet. The hot side inlet is introduced with refrigerant vapor from the end of the heat pipe air conditioner through a gas-phase refrigerant pipeline. After the refrigerant vapor exchanges heat with the chilled water on its cold side on its hot side, its temperature decreases and it becomes refrigerant liquid. The refrigerant liquid is transported through a liquid-phase refrigerant pipeline connected to the hot side outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger and the inlet of the refrigerant liquid storage tank. To the refrigerant storage tank, and then transported to the refrigerant driving pump through the liquid-phase refrigerant pipeline connected with the outlet of the refrigerant storage tank and the inlet of the refrigerant driving pump. The refrigerant liquid driven and transported by the refrigerant driving pump is transported to the end of the heat pipe air conditioner through the liquid-phase refrigerant pipeline connected with the outlet of the refrigerant driving pump. The refrigerant liquid absorbs the heat of the server cabinet in the end of the heat pipe air conditioner and continues to evaporate into refrigerant vapor. It enters the intermediate heat exchanger through the gas-phase refrigerant pipeline again for heat exchange, thereby discharging heat from the computer room.

[0012] Preferably, the water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit is installed on the ground in the air-conditioning room of the computer room.

[0013] Preferably, an electric regulating valve is installed on the water outlet pipe in the water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit to adjust the water flow rate to adapt to the load change at the end of the heat pipe air conditioner.

[0014] Preferably, the refrigerant driven pump in the water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit includes a refrigerant driven pump I and a refrigerant driven pump II, which are installed in parallel and are configured as a backup; on the liquid-phase refrigerant pipeline connected to the outlets of the refrigerant driven pump I and the refrigerant driven pump II, a one-way valve I and a one-way valve II are respectively installed near the outlets of the refrigerant driven pump I and the refrigerant driven pump II to prevent cavitation in the refrigerant driven pump I and the refrigerant driven pump II.

[0015] Furthermore, the water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit further includes a control unit and multiple temperature sensors, multiple pressure sensors, water leakage detection ropes and / or liquid level sensors that are communicatively connected to the control unit, which are used to control and ensure the normal working state of the electric regulating valve, refrigerant drive pump I, refrigerant drive pump II, and refrigerant storage tank to meet the cooling load demand of the heat pipe air conditioning terminal.

[0016] Furthermore, the refrigerant driven pump I and the refrigerant driven pump II are both communicatively connected to the control unit and both adopt variable frequency speed regulating pumps. According to the real-time cooling load and refrigerant flow demand of the heat pipe air conditioning terminal, the pump operating speed is automatically adjusted under the instruction of the control unit to achieve energy saving and meet the dynamic changing needs of the system.

[0017] Furthermore, the electric regulating valve in the water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit is communicatively connected to the control unit, and the opening of the electric regulating valve is dynamically adjusted according to the cooling load and temperature feedback at the end of the heat pipe air conditioner, thereby achieving precise control of the chilled water flow.

[0018] Furthermore, the cold side outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger is provided with a temperature sensor for real-time monitoring of the cold side outlet water temperature to ensure that the temperature of the chilled water is within a preset range. The temperature data collected by the temperature sensor is fed back to the control unit, and the control unit automatically adjusts the opening of the electric regulating valve and the operating status of each refrigerant drive pump according to the temperature data to maintain the optimal operating state of the system.

[0019] Furthermore, the water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit is provided with a water leakage detection rope located at the bottom of the sheet metal shell and an alarm device connected thereto. When a leak occurs inside the system, the water leakage detection rope can detect the abnormal situation in time and issue a warning through the alarm device so that timely measures can be taken to avoid possible equipment damage or safety accidents. This water leakage detection system can improve the safety performance of the system and protect the equipment from water damage. In addition, the refrigerant storage tank is equipped with a liquid level sensor for real-time monitoring of the refrigerant storage level to ensure that the supply of refrigerant is within a safe and effective range. The data of the liquid level sensor is fed back to the control unit in real time, and the control unit adjusts the refrigerant replenishment or discharge according to the liquid level information, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the system and the refrigeration efficiency. In addition, by accurately controlling the refrigerant liquid level, refrigerant leakage and waste can be effectively prevented, ensuring the environmental friendliness and economy of the system.

[0020] Preferably, the heat pipe air conditioner terminal is in various terminal forms, including a heat pipe back plate air conditioner, a heat pipe row air conditioner, a top-mounted heat pipe air conditioner and / or a heat pipe cabinet unit.

[0021] (III) Technical Effect

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the water-cooled refrigerant distribution system provided by the utility model has at least the following beneficial and significant technical effects:

[0023] (1) The water-cooled refrigerant distribution system provided by the utility model aims at the local hot spot problem, high energy consumption and low space utilization rate existing in the traditional server room heat removal technology. By adopting the design of water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit combined with heat pipe air conditioner terminal, the system can effectively transfer and discharge heat when the height installation space of the air conditioner room is limited, thus realizing efficient management and control of the heat of the server cabinet. This design does not rely on gravity drive, but promotes the circulation of refrigerant through power drive, so as to achieve good heat dissipation effect in a smaller installation space.

[0024] (2) In the water-cooled refrigerant distribution system provided by the utility model, the water-cooled refrigerant distribution unit is installed on the ground, which is suitable for places where the height installation space of the air-conditioning room in the computer room is limited and the system cannot be driven by gravity but is driven by power. While improving the refrigerant circulation power, the refrigerant flow rate can be adjusted to meet the changing demand of the cooling load at the end of the heat pipe air-conditioning; the end of the heat pipe air-conditioning can be one or more of a heat pipe back plate air-conditioning, a heat pipe row air-conditioning, a top-mounted heat pipe air-conditioning, a heat pipe cabinet unit, etc., which is not restricted by the height difference with the intermediate heat exchanger and can better meet the needs of different terminal forms in the computer room.

[0025] (3) The water-cooled refrigerant distribution system provided by the utility model adopts key components such as an intermediate heat exchanger, a refrigerant storage tank and a refrigerant drive pump. The coordinated work of these components enables the refrigerant to circulate efficiently in the system. By exchanging heat between the cold side and the hot side of the intermediate heat exchanger, the server heat absorbed by the end of the heat pipe air conditioner is effectively transferred to the outdoor cold source, thereby achieving continuous heat discharge and stable control of the temperature in the computer room. This efficient heat exchange mechanism significantly improves the heat dissipation performance of the system while also reducing energy consumption.

[0026] (4) The water-cooled refrigerant distribution system provided by the utility model can flexibly adjust the refrigerant flow rate according to the change of the cooling load at the end of the heat pipe air conditioner through the optimization of the refrigerant cycle power and the adjustable design of the refrigerant flow rate, thereby realizing precise control under different heat load conditions. This dynamic adjustment mechanism not only ensures the optimal performance of the system under various operating conditions, but also improves the system's adaptability to load fluctuations, ensuring the stable operation and long-term reliability of the equipment in the computer room.

[0027] (5) The water-cooled refrigerant distribution system provided by the utility model further enhances the reliability and safety of the system by introducing electric regulating valves, parallel installation of refrigerant-driven pumps, and one-way valves. The introduction of the electric regulating valve allows the flow of chilled water to be accurately controlled according to actual needs, while the parallel installation of refrigerant-driven pumps and the setting of one-way valves provide redundancy for the system. Even if a pump fails, the system can still maintain normal operation, thereby greatly reducing the failure rate and maintenance cost of the system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
