Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid-cooled CDU technology, and in particular to an integrated single-phase immersion liquid-cooled CDU. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, data centers, as the core of information processing, have increasingly become a focus of industry attention regarding their performance and stability. High-performance computing equipment generates a large amount of heat during operation; if this heat cannot be effectively dissipated, it will severely impact the equipment's performance and lifespan. Therefore, efficient cooling technology has become an indispensable part of data centers. Among numerous cooling technologies, liquid-cooled CDUs (Cooling Distribution Units) stand out for their superior heat dissipation performance and energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics.

[0003] Currently, the split-type CDU used in the market is large in size, complex in structure, has many pipeline connections, and has a large number of possible leakage points. The circulating pump does not support online replacement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention solves the following technical problem: the currently available split-type CDUs are large in size, complex in structure, have many pipeline connections, and have a large number of possible leakage points. The circulating pump does not support online replacement. The present invention provides an integrated single-phase immersion liquid-cooled CDU.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides:

[0006] An integrated single-phase immersion liquid-cooled CDU includes a housing for supporting and fixing the CDU. Two handles are symmetrically installed on the top of the housing. A heat exchanger is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the housing. The bottom of the heat exchanger is connected to a liquid outlet, and the top of the heat exchanger is connected to a liquid inlet. Three water pipes are connected to the top of the heat exchanger, and each of the three water pipes is equipped with a check valve. Three frame plates are screwed to the top of the housing, and each of the three frame plates is equipped with a circulation pump. The three circulation pumps are connected to the three water pipes via plug-in connections.

[0007] The heat exchanger is one of the core components of the CDU. It transfers heat from equipment such as servers to the cold water in the side pipes through liquid-liquid heat exchange.

[0008] The circulating pump is one of the core components of the CDU. The integrated single-phase immersion liquid-cooled CDU uses a high-flow small electric pump that is immersed in the coolant to drive the coolant circulation.

[0009] The check valve prevents coolant backflow when the circulating pump is replaced online, and a sealing ring is installed between the outlet of the circulating pump and the water pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the heat exchanger is equipped with a pressure gauge that monitors the outlet pressure of the circulating pump in real time.

[0011] Preferably, two side pipes are provided on the outside of the housing.

[0012] Preferably, an exhaust valve is provided on the side pipe to promptly release the air inside the side pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model features an integrated single-phase immersion liquid-cooled CDU design, achieving efficient layout within a minimal space. It eliminates the need for secondary-side piping connections between the CDU and the liquid-cooling cabinet, thus avoiding the space requirements and leakage risks associated with secondary-side piping, significantly saving space and improving reliability. It also eliminates the complex internal piping connections of the CDU, reducing the risk of leakage. Furthermore, the circulating pump supports online replacement, greatly improving maintenance efficiency. Attached Figure Description
