Description

Technical Field

[0002] A supercomputer is a computer that can process large amounts of data and high-speed calculations that cannot be processed by ordinary personal computers. During the operation of a supercomputer, the server of the supercomputer will generate a lot of heat. In order to cool the server of the supercomputer, the server is generally placed in a supercomputer cooling cabinet.

[0003] The supercomputer cooling cabinet stores refrigerant, which immerses the server placed in the supercomputer cooling cabinet and exchanges heat with the server through the refrigerant, thereby reducing the temperature of the server. After the refrigerant is heated and evaporates, it further takes away the heat from the server. When the vaporized refrigerant passes through the cover of the supercomputer cooling cabinet, the liquefaction device on the cover of the supercomputer cooling cabinet cools the vaporized refrigerant, so that the vaporized refrigerant is liquefied again and flows back into the supercomputer cooling cabinet.

[0004] However, after the refrigerant evaporates, the liquid refrigerant stored in the supercomputer cooling cabinet will decrease, and the refrigerant that liquefies and flows back into the supercomputer cooling cabinet will increase the amount of refrigerant inside the supercomputer cooling cabinet. The amount of refrigerant evaporation and refrigerant liquefaction is difficult to control, and further, it is difficult to control the liquid level of the refrigerant inside the supercomputer cooling cabinet.

[0027] The following will further elaborate on this application in conjunction with the appended Figures 1 - 3 drawings for a more detailed description.

[0028] An embodiment of this application discloses a coolant replenishing device for a supercomputer cooling cabinet.

[0029] The coolant replenishing device is located between the liquefaction device on the cover plate and the cabinet body of the supercomputer cooling cabinet.

[0030] A coolant replenishing device for a supercomputer cooling cabinet includes a liquid storage assembly 1, a replenishing assembly 2, and an overflow assembly 3. The liquid storage assembly 1 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the liquefaction device on the cover plate 3 and is used for storing the refrigerant. The replenishing assembly 2 is connected between the liquid storage assembly 1 and the interior of the cabinet body 4 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet. The replenishing assembly 2 is used to transport the refrigerant stored inside the liquid storage assembly 1 into the interior of the cabinet body 4 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet, thereby increasing the height of the refrigerant liquid level inside the cabinet body 4 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet. The overflow assembly 3 is connected between the liquid storage assembly 1 and the interior of the cabinet body 4 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet. The height position of the overflow assembly 3 is adjusted according to the required refrigerant liquid level inside the cabinet body 4 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet. When the refrigerant inside the cabinet body 4 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet exceeds the height position of the overflow assembly 3, the excess refrigerant flows back into the liquid storage assembly 1 through the overflow assembly 3 for storage, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the refrigerant liquid level inside the cabinet body 4 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet.

[0031] The liquid storage assembly 1 includes a liquid storage tank 11 and a liquefaction pipe 12. The liquid inlet end of the liquefaction pipe 12 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the liquefaction device on the cover plate 3, and the liquid outlet end of the liquefaction pipe 12 is connected to the inside of the liquid storage tank 11. The vaporized refrigerant is cooled again into a liquid refrigerant by the liquefaction device on the cover plate 3 and then enters the liquefaction pipe 12 from the liquid outlet end of the liquefaction device, and flows into the liquid storage tank 11 through the liquefaction pipe 12 for storage.

The inner wall of the mounting ring 312 and the outer wall of the mounting tube 311 are sealed and fixedly connected. When the mounting tube 311 rotates on the mounting sleeve 313, the mounting ring 312 limits the mounting tube 311 through the inner wall of the supercomputing cooling cabinet. A plurality of toggle grooves are axially provided on the side wall of the mounting ring 312 along the axial direction of the mounting ring 312. The staff rotates the mounting tube by toggling the groove wall, which improves the convenience of rotating the mounting tube.

[0036] The adapter tube 314 is L-shaped and is located inside the supercomputer cooling cabinet. One end of the adapter tube 314 is sealed and rotatably matched with the mounting tube 311 .

[0037] The liquid inlet end of the first overflow pipe 32 is sealed and fixedly connected to the end of the mounting pipe 311, and the liquid outlet end of the first overflow pipe 32 is connected to the interior of the liquid storage tank 11. The liquid outlet end of the second overflow pipe 33 is sealed and connected to the other end of the adapter tube 314, and the second overflow pipe 33 is rotatably matched with the mounting tube through the adapter tube 314, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the position of the liquid inlet end of the second overflow pipe 33.

When the slider 342 reaches the set position, the limiting rod 3431 is rotated to make the cushion block 3432 press against the guide rail 341.

[0040] The fixing member 344 includes a fixing cylinder 3441 and a hose clamp 3442. The fixing cylinder 3441 is fixedly installed on the slider 342.

The hose clamp 3442 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the second overflow pipe 33, and the hose clamp 3442 fixes and installs the second overflow pipe 33 on the fixing cylinder 3441.

[0041] The implementation principle of the coolant replenishing device for the supercomputer cooling cabinet in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: After the refrigerant inside the supercomputer cooling cabinet is cooled by the liquefaction device on the cover plate 5 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet, the liquefied refrigerant enters the liquid storage tank 11 through the liquefaction pipe 12 for storage. When replenishing the replenishing assembly 2, the refrigerant liquefied inside the liquid storage tank 11 is pumped into the supercomputer cooling cabinet through the replenishing pipe 21 by the replenishing pump 22, so as to increase the liquid level height of the refrigerant inside the supercomputer cooling cabinet. According to the required liquid level height of the refrigerant inside the supercomputer cooling cabinet, the height of the liquid inlet end of the second overflow pipe 33 is adjusted by the adjusting part 34. When the liquid level of the refrigerant inside the supercomputer cooling cabinet is too high, the refrigerant exceeding the second overflow pipe 33 flows into the liquid storage tank 11 in sequence through the second overflow pipe 33, the installation pipe 311 and the first overflow pipe 32 for storage. Thus, the convenience and accuracy of adjusting the liquid level height inside the supercomputer cooling cabinet are improved.

[0042] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
