[0002] With the rapid development of digital technology, people's demand for high-performance computing is increasing. In terms of existing computer hardware technology, high-performance computing also means high energy consumption, and high energy consumption is accompanied by high heat generation. Data center cooling is one of the key technologies to ensure the continuous and stable operation of electronic equipment inside the data center. Because servers, storage devices, network hardware and other electronic equipment will generate a large amount of heat when running, if not controlled, it will cause the equipment to overheat, affect performance, and even cause damage to the equipment. Therefore, effective cooling measures have a significant impact on the energy efficiency, reliability and operating costs of the data center.
