The temperature of underground water is basically constant throughout the year and is basically not affected by the outside air temperature, which is a renewable natural cold resource that can be utilized.

[0063] In the prior art, the cold source of the liquid cooling server is basically mainly the cooling tower scheme, and the cooling tower uses the principle of water evaporation latent heat to take away heat, which has the problem of large water consumption.

[0064] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0065] Figure 1 The structure diagram of the liquid cooling system provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 1 the liquid cooling system can include: a heat exchange module 11 and a device module 12; wherein,

[0066] The primary side input end of the heat exchange module 11 is connected with the water taking device, and the primary side output end of the heat exchange module 11 is connected with the water draining device; the secondary side output end of the heat exchange module 11 is connected with the first water outlet end of the equipment module 12, the first water outlet end of the equipment module 12 is connected with the water inlet end of the air conditioner, the first water inlet end of the equipment module 12 is connected with the water outlet end of the air conditioner, the first water inlet end of the equipment module 12 is connected with the second water outlet end of the equipment module 12, the second water outlet end of the equipment module 12 is connected with the water inlet end of the server unit, the second water inlet end of the equipment module 12 is connected with the water outlet end of the server unit, and the second water inlet end of the equipment module 12 is connected with the secondary side input end of the heat exchange module 11;

[0067] The heat exchange module 11 is used for dissipating heat of the cooling liquid of the air conditioner and / or the server unit by using the water extracted by the water taking device.

[0068] In a specific implementation, the air conditioner and the server unit dissipate heat by using the cooling liquid, and the air conditioner can adjust the temperature of a specified place according to user demand. The heat dissipation module 11 is used for dissipating heat of the cooling liquid used by the air conditioner and / or the server unit, and in order to achieve energy saving and emission reduction, a natural water source can be used as a cold source to dissipate heat of the cooling liquid. The secondary side of the equipment module 12 and the heat dissipation module 11, the air conditioner, and the server unit are connected, which is used for inputting the cooling liquid used by the air conditioner and / or the server unit into the heat dissipation module 11, and inputting the cooling liquid cooled by the heat dissipation module 11 into the air conditioner and / or the server unit.

[0069] Specifically, the heat dissipation module 11 takes water through the water taking device, the extracted cold water flows into the primary side input end of the heat dissipation module 11 and flows out from the primary side output end of the heat dissipation module 11, the cooling liquid used by the air conditioner and / or the server unit flows into the secondary side input end of the heat dissipation module 11 and flows out from the secondary side output end of the heat dissipation module 11, and the cold water and the cooling liquid exchange heat in the heat dissipation module 11, so as to reduce the temperature of the cooling liquid, and the water flowing out from the primary side output end of the heat dissipation module 11 is drained and injected back by the water draining device. The heat dissipation principle used by the system is not based on the water evaporation principle, and no water resources are consumed, so that natural cooling without water consumption can be achieved.

[0070] And according to statistics, the working temperature of liquid cooling server is about 40-50 degrees Celsius, the temperature of cooling medium can be as high as 35-40 degrees Celsius, and for air conditioner, the return water temperature is about 28-33 degrees, which is lower than the working temperature of liquid cooling server, so the first water inlet end of the equipment module 12 and the second water outlet end of the equipment module 12 are connected, the cooled cooling liquid flowing out of the secondary side output end of the heat dissipation module 11 flows into the air conditioner through the first water inlet end of the equipment module 12, the used cooling liquid of the air conditioner flows into the equipment module 12 through the first water inlet end of the equipment module 12, and then flows into the server unit through the second water outlet end of the equipment module 12, and the used cooling liquid of the server unit flows into the equipment module 12 through the second water inlet end of the equipment module 12 and enters the secondary side input end of the heat dissipation module 11, so that the cooling liquid flowing out of the air conditioner can be used for heat dissipation of the server unit, and the cooling capacity of the cooling liquid and the cold source cold quantity can be fully utilized.

[0071] In the server unit, the liquid cooling distribution unit can be connected with the plurality of server cold plates, and the liquid cooling distribution unit is configured to distribute the cooling liquid flowing into the server cold plates, or the liquid cooling distribution unit can include a heat dissipation device configured to dissipate heat of the coolant used by the cold plate using the cooling liquid. The server cold plate can dissipate heat of the server.

[0072] For example, when water is used as the cold source, the water taking device can be a water well, and the water discharging device can be a water injection well. The water well is configured to extract water from the ground, and the water injection well is configured to inject the used water back into the ground. In actual application, surface water of rivers, seas and lakes can also be used as the cold source, which can be selected according to the production needs, and is not limited herein.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the natural water source is used as the cold source, and the heat dissipation module is used to dissipate heat of the cooling liquid of the air conditioner and / or the server unit, which can effectively save energy and realize water-free green refrigeration. In addition, the cooling liquid discharged by the air conditioner can flow into the server unit, that is, the cooling liquid is used to dissipate heat of the air conditioner and the server unit in sequence, and then is cooled and dissipated by the heat dissipation module, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of the cooling liquid and fully utilize the cold source cold quantity.

[0074] In a possible implementation, the equipment module 12 further includes a first three-way diverter valve 121.

[0075] The inlet of the first three-way diverter valve 121 is connected with the first water inlet end of the equipment module 12, the first outlet of the first three-way diverter valve 121 is connected with the second water outlet end of the equipment module 12, and the second outlet of the first three-way diverter valve 121 is connected with the secondary side input end of the heat dissipation module 11.

[0076] The first three-way shunt valve 121 is configured to connect the inlet to the first outlet or the inlet to the second outlet.

[0077] In a specific implementation, the first three-way shunt valve 121 can connect the inlet to the first outlet, so that the cooling liquid discharged from the air conditioner flows into the server unit; or the first three-way shunt valve 121 can connect the inlet to the second outlet, so that the cooling liquid discharged from the air conditioner directly flows into the heat exchange module 11. Therefore, the first three-way shunt valve 121 can control whether the cooling liquid discharged from the air conditioner output end flows into the server unit, so that whether to start the heat dissipation of the server unit can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. For example, when the server unit is maintained to be stopped, the first three-way shunt valve 121 can connect the inlet to the second outlet, so that the cooling liquid discharged from the air conditioner output end does not flow into the server unit.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the first three-way shunt valve, the cooling liquid discharged from the air conditioner output end can be flexibly controlled to flow into the server unit or directly flow into the heat exchange module, so that the flexibility of the system can be improved, and various application scenarios can be adapted.

[0079] In a possible implementation, the device module 12 further includes a first water pump 122.

[0080] The input end of the first water pump 122 is connected to the first outlet of the first three-way shunt valve 121, and the output end of the first water pump 122 is connected to the second water outlet of the device module 12.

[0081] The first water pump 122 is configured to adjust the rotating speed according to the pressure difference ΔP between the second water outlet and the second water inlet of the device module 12.

[0082] In a specific implementation, the first water pump 122 is arranged between the first three-way shunt valve 121 and the second water outlet (the server unit) of the device module 12. The first water pump 122 can be a variable frequency booster pump, which is configured to adjust the rotating speed according to the cooling liquid pressure difference ΔP between the second water outlet and the second water inlet of the device module 12. For example, when the cooling liquid pressure difference ΔP is less than a set pressure difference, the rotating speed is increased, so that the cooling liquid pressure in the liquid cooling distribution unit is sufficient, so that the server unit is sufficiently cooled, and the reliability of the system is improved. In actual application, the first water pump 122 can also use other control algorithms, which are not limited herein.

[0083] In a possible implementation, the device module 12 further includes a three-way confluence valve 123.

[0084] The first inlet of the three-way confluence valve 123 is connected to the first water inlet of the device module 12, the second inlet of the three-way confluence valve 123 is connected to the second water inlet of the device module 12, and the outlet of the three-way confluence valve 123 is connected to the secondary side input end of the heat exchange module 11.

[0085] The three-way confluence valve 123 is configured to control the flow of the cooling liquid flowing into the server unit according to the first temperature T1 of the cooling liquid flowing into the second water inlet of the device module 12.

[0086] In a specific implementation, the three-way confluence valve 123 can control the opening degrees of the first inlet and the second inlet, so as to adjust the proportion of the cooling liquid flowing out of the air conditioner and passing through the server unit and the proportion of the cooling liquid flowing out of the air conditioner and not passing through the server unit, and realize the control of the flow of the cooling liquid flowing into the server unit. According to the first temperature T1 of the cooling liquid flowing into the second water inlet of the device module 12, the three-way confluence valve 123 can control the flow of the cooling liquid flowing into the server unit, so as to ensure that there is sufficient cooling liquid for the server unit to be fully cooled, and at the same time, avoid the waste caused by too much cooling liquid flowing into the server unit. For example, when the first temperature T1 is too high, the flow of the cooling liquid flowing into the server unit is increased; when the first temperature T1 is too low, the flow of the cooling liquid flowing into the server unit is reduced. In actual application, the three-way confluence valve 123 can also use other control algorithms, which are not limited herein.

[0087] In a possible implementation, the heat exchange module 11 includes: a first heat exchanger 111 and a second heat exchanger 112; and the device module 12 further includes: a check valve 124.

[0088] The first heat exchanger 111 is connected with the water taking device at the primary side input end, and is connected with the water draining device at the primary side output end. The second heat exchanger 112 is connected with the water taking device at the primary side input end, and is connected with the water draining device at the primary side output end. The second heat exchanger 112 is connected with the device module 12 at the secondary side output end, and the device module 12 is connected with the check valve 124 at the first water inlet.

The second heat exchanger 112 is connected with the check valve 124 at the secondary side output end.

[0089] The check valve 124 is configured to ensure that the cooling liquid flowing out of the secondary side output end of the second heat exchanger 112 flows into the secondary side input end of the first heat exchanger 111.

[0090] In a specific implementation, the heat exchange module 11 can be provided with two heat exchangers, which are a first heat exchanger 111 and a second heat exchanger 112. When the inlet and the second outlet of the first three-way diverter valve 121 are connected, the cooling liquid flows into the first water inlet of the equipment module 12 from the air conditioner and then enters the first heat exchanger 111. When the inlet and the first outlet of the first three-way diverter valve 121 are connected, the cooling liquid flows into the first water inlet of the equipment module 12 from the air conditioner and then enters the server unit from the second water outlet of the equipment module 12, and then flows out of the server unit to the second heat exchanger 112. After the second heat exchanger 112 preliminarily cools the cooling liquid, the cooling liquid enters the first heat exchanger 111 for secondary cooling. Through the cooperation of the two heat exchangers, the cooling liquid can be fully cooled even when the temperature of the cooling liquid is relatively high, thereby avoiding the insufficient cooling of the cooling liquid from affecting the heat dissipation of the air conditioner and / or the server unit, and effectively improving the heat dissipation capacity of the system.

[0091] In order to avoid the cooling liquid at the secondary side input end of the first heat exchanger 111 from flowing back to the air conditioner or the server unit through the first three-way diverter valve 121, a check valve 124 can be provided to ensure that the cooling liquid enters the first heat exchanger 111.

[0093] The inlet of the bypass valve 125 is connected to the secondary side input end of the second heat exchanger 112, and the outlet of the bypass valve 125 is connected to the secondary side output end of the second heat exchanger 112.

[0094] The bypass valve 125 is configured to control the flow of the cooling liquid flowing into the second heat exchanger 112 according to the second temperature T2 of the cooling liquid at the secondary side input end of the first heat exchanger 111.

[0095] In a specific implementation, the bypass valve 125 can be provided between the secondary side input end and the secondary side output end of the second heat exchanger 112. By controlling the opening degree of the bypass valve 125, the proportion of the cooling liquid flowing out of the server unit and flowing into the first heat exchanger 111 and the second heat exchanger 112 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the flow of the cooling liquid entering the second heat exchanger 112. The bypass valve 125 can adjust the opening degree according to the second temperature T2 of the cooling liquid at the secondary side input end of the first heat exchanger 111, for example, when the second temperature T2 is too high, the flow of the cooling liquid entering the second heat exchanger 112 is increased, so as to increase the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange module 11 and achieve sufficient heat dissipation of the cooling liquid. In actual applications, the bypass valve 125 can also use other control algorithms, which are not limited herein.

[0096] In a possible implementation, the heat exchange module 11 further includes a second water pump 113 and a first stop valve 114.

[0097] The input end of the first stop valve 114 is connected with the water taking device, the output end of the first stop valve 114 is connected with the input end of the second water pump 113, and the output end of the second water pump 113 is connected with the input end of the primary side of the second heat exchanger 112.

[0098] The second water pump 113 is configured to be started or stopped according to the opening degree of the bypass valve 125.

[0099] The first stop valve 114 is configured to be opened when the second water pump 113 is started and closed when the second water pump 113 is stopped.

[0100] In a specific implementation, the second water pump 113 is used to pump water into the input end of the primary side of the second heat exchanger 112, and can be started or stopped according to the opening degree of the bypass valve 125, so that when there is no cooling liquid flowing into the secondary side of the second heat exchanger 112, the second water pump 113 is stopped, and when there is cooling liquid flowing into the secondary side of the second heat exchanger 112, the second water pump 113 is started, to realize intelligent automatic control. The stop valve 114 is used to guide or cut off the inlet pipeline of the input end of the primary side of the second heat exchanger 112, and can be opened or closed according to whether the second water pump 113 is started. In actual application, the stop valve 114 can be set to be closed in advance or delayed, so as to ensure that when there is no cooling liquid flowing into the secondary side of the second heat exchanger 112, there is also no water flowing into the primary side, to avoid wasting resources, and when there is cooling liquid flowing into the secondary side of the second heat exchanger 112, there is also water flowing into the primary side, to realize reliable heat exchange.

[0101] In a possible implementation, the heat exchange module 11 further includes a third water pump 115, and the device module further includes a fourth water pump 126.

[0102] The input end of the third water pump 115 is connected with the water taking device, and the output end of the third water pump 115 is connected with the input end of the primary side of the first heat exchanger 111.

[0103] The input end of the fourth water pump 126 is connected with the output end of the secondary side of the first heat exchanger 111, and the output end of the fourth water pump 126 is connected with the first water outlet of the device module 12.

[0104] The third water pump 115 and the fourth water pump 126 are configured to adjust the rotating speed according to the third temperature T3 of the cooling liquid output from the output end of the secondary side of the first heat exchanger 111.

[0105] In a specific implementation, a third water pump 115 is arranged at the primary side input end of the first heat exchanger 111, and the third water pump 115 is configured to pump water into the primary side of the first heat exchanger 111. A fourth water pump 126 is arranged at the first water outlet of the equipment module 12, and the fourth water pump 126 is configured to pump the cooling liquid into the air conditioner. According to the third temperature T3 of the cooling liquid output from the secondary side output end of the first heat exchanger 111, the third water pump 115 adjusts the rotation speed. For example, when the third temperature T3 is relatively high, the rotation speed of the third water pump 115 is increased, so as to increase the water flow rate of the primary side of the first heat exchanger 111, improve the heat exchange capacity of the first heat exchanger 111, and thus reduce the third temperature T3, so that the temperature of the cooling liquid flowing into the air conditioner is low enough, thereby achieving sufficient heat dissipation. Similarly, according to the third temperature T3 of the cooling liquid output from the secondary side output end of the first heat exchanger 111, the fourth water pump 126 can also adjust the rotation speed. For example, when the third temperature T3 is relatively low, the fourth water pump 126 reduces the rotation speed, so as to reduce the flow rate of the cooling liquid entering the air conditioner, and improve the utilization rate of the cooling liquid. Through the rotation speed adjustment of the third water pump 115 and the fourth water pump 126, the utilization rate of the cooling liquid can be improved while achieving sufficient heat dissipation of the equipment, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation performance of the system. In actual application, the third water pump 115 and the fourth water pump 126 can also use other control algorithms, which are not limited herein.

[0106] In a possible implementation, the system further includes a water chiller 13.

[0107] The water chiller 13 is connected with the water taking device and the primary side input end of the heat exchange module 11, and is configured to cool the water flowing into the primary side input end of the heat exchange module 11.

[0108] In a specific implementation, when the temperature of the cold water extracted by the water taking device is not low enough, the heat exchange requirement of the cooling liquid cannot be met. Therefore, the water chiller 13 can be arranged between the water taking device and the primary side of the heat exchange module 11, so as to cool the water flowing into the primary side input end of the heat exchange module 11, thereby reducing the temperature of the cold water flowing into the primary side of the heat exchange module 11, and improving the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange module 11.

[0109] In a possible implementation, the water chiller 13 includes an evaporator 131, a condenser 132, a compressor 133, and a throttling valve 134.

[0110] The secondary side input end of the evaporator 131 is connected with the water taking device, and the secondary side output end of the evaporator 131 is connected with the primary side input end of the heat exchange module 11. The evaporator 131 is configured to cool the water flowing into the primary side input end of the heat exchange module 11 by evaporating the refrigerant liquid to absorb heat.

[0111] The input end of the compressor 133 is connected with the output end of the primary side of the evaporator 131, for compressing the refrigerant steam discharged from the primary side of the evaporator 131;

[0112] The input end of the primary side of the condenser 132 is connected with the water taking device, the output end of the primary side of the condenser 132 is connected with the water drainage device, the input end of the secondary side of the condenser 132 is connected with the output end of the compressor 133, the output end of the condenser 132 is connected with the input end of the throttling valve 134, and the output end of the throttling valve 134 is connected with the input end of the primary side of the evaporator 131; the condenser 132 is used for cooling the compressed refrigerant steam by using water to obtain refrigerant liquid.

[0113] In a specific implementation, the evaporator 131 is used for radiating the heat of the water drawn by the water taking device by using the refrigerant. Specifically, the water flows into the input end of the secondary side of the evaporator 131 and flows out from the output end of the secondary side of the evaporator 131 to the heat exchange module 11; the refrigerant liquid flows into the input end of the primary side of the evaporator 131, absorbs the heat of the water in the evaporator 131 to evaporate into steam, and flows out from the output end of the primary side of the evaporator 131 to the compressor 133. The compressor 133 is used for compressing the refrigerant steam to increase the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant steam, and sending the compressed refrigerant steam to the condenser 132. The condenser is used for radiating the heat of the refrigerant steam by using the water drawn by the water taking device. Specifically, the refrigerant steam enters the input end of the secondary side of the condenser 132, the water drawn by the water taking device enters the input end of the primary side of the condenser 132, the cold water and the refrigerant steam exchange heat, so that the temperature of the refrigerant steam decreases and the refrigerant steam condenses into refrigerant liquid, the refrigerant liquid flows out from the output end of the secondary side of the condenser 132 and enters the input end of the primary side of the evaporator 131 through the throttling valve 134; the heat exchanged water flows out from the output end of the primary side of the condenser 132 and is injected back by the water drainage device. The throttling valve 134 is used for reducing the pressure of the refrigerant and limiting the flow of the refrigerant, so that the refrigerant flows from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area, and expands in the throttling process to reduce the temperature. By using natural water source, the water flowing into the heat exchange module 11 is mechanically cooled by the refrigerant, realizing green refrigeration, and the secondary side of the evaporator 131 and the primary side of the condenser 132 both use natural water source, the cooling temperature difference is small, the condensing temperature is low, and the energy efficiency of the cooling unit is high.

[0114] In a possible implementation, the water chiller 13 further includes a second stop valve 135 and a fifth water pump 136;

[0115] The input end of the second stop valve 135 is connected with the water taking device, the output end of the second stop valve 135 is connected with the input end of the fifth water pump 136, and the output end of the fifth water pump 136 is connected with the input end of the primary side of the condenser 132;

[0116] The second stop valve 135 is configured to be opened when the temperature of the water drawn by the water taking device is higher than the first threshold value; and the fifth water pump 136 is configured to be started when the temperature of the water drawn by the water taking device is higher than the first threshold value.

[0117] In a specific implementation, the second stop valve 135 is used to open or shut off the inlet pipeline of the primary side of the condenser 132, and the fifth water pump 136 is used to pump water into the input end of the primary side of the condenser 132, wherein the rotating speed of the fifth water pump 136 is controlled by the condensing pressure of the condenser 132. In actual application, whether to start the cold water unit can be selected according to the temperature of the cold water drawn by the water taking device. When the temperature of the cold water is higher than the first threshold value, the second stop valve 135 is opened, the fifth water pump 136 is started, and the cold water unit is started; when the temperature of the cold water is not higher than the first threshold value, the second stop valve 135 is shut off, the fifth water pump 136 is stopped, and the cold water unit is not started. The cold water drawn by the water taking device directly flows out from the secondary side of the evaporator 131 to the heat exchange module 11 without passing through the refrigerant cooling, so that the heat dissipation capacity of the system is improved, and energy waste is reduced.

[0118] For example, the temperature T4 of the water at the output end of the secondary side of the evaporator can be detected as the temperature of the water drawn by the water taking device.

[0119] In a possible implementation, the system further includes a water storage module 14; the water storage module 14 includes a sand remover 141 and a water storage tank 142.

[0120] The input end of the sand remover 141 is connected with the water taking device, and is used to filter the water drawn by the water taking device.

[0121] The input end of the water storage tank 142 is connected with the output end of the sand remover 141, and the output end of the water storage tank 142 is connected with the input end of the primary side of the heat exchange module 11.

[0122] In a specific implementation, the water storage module 14 can be arranged between the heat exchange module 11 and the water taking device. By storing water through the water storage module 14, the water supply of the heat exchange module 11 can be ensured to be stable, so that the reliability of the system is improved. The sand remover 141 filters the water drawn by the water taking device to remove impurities. The water storage tank 142 stores the filtered water.

[0123] For example, the sand remover 141 and the bottom of the water storage tank 142 are each provided with a blowdown valve, and the blowdown valve is configured to be started periodically.

[0124] In a possible implementation, the water storage module 14 further includes a sixth water pump 143.

[0125] The input end of the sixth water pump 143 is connected with the water taking device, and the output end of the sixth water pump 143 is connected with the input end of the sand remover 141.

[0126] The sixth water pump 143 is configured to stop when the liquid level in the water storage tank 142 is higher than a second threshold value, and start when the liquid level is lower than a third threshold value.

[0127] In a specific implementation, the sixth water pump 143 is used to pump the water extracted by the water extraction device into the desander 141. A liquid level sensor is arranged in the water storage tank 142 to detect the liquid level in the water storage tank 142. In order to maintain the stability of the liquid level in the water storage tank 142, the sixth water pump 143 is controlled to start and stop according to the liquid level in the water storage tank 142. For example, the sixth water pump 143 stops when the liquid level is higher than the second threshold value, and starts when the liquid level is lower than the third threshold value, thereby ensuring the stability and sufficiency of the water storage and improving the reliability of the system.

[0128] Similarly, a water storage tank 15 and a seventh water pump 16 can also be arranged on the water drainage device side. The input end of the water storage tank 15 is connected with the output end of the primary side of the condenser 133 and the output end of the primary side of the heat exchange module 11, and is used to store the water to be drained. The input end of the seventh water pump 16 is connected with the output end of the water storage tank 15, and is used to pump the water in the water storage tank 15 into the water drainage device. A liquid level sensor is arranged in the water storage tank 15 to detect the liquid level in the water storage tank 15. The seventh water pump 16 can be started or stopped according to the liquid level in the water storage tank 15.

[0129] In a possible implementation, the system further includes a heat tracing pipe 17.

[0130] The inlet of the heat tracing pipe 17 is connected with the output end of the primary side of the heat exchange module 11, and the outlet of the heat tracing pipe 17 is connected with the water drainage device.

[0131] The heat tracing pipe 17 is used to heat the equipment to be kept warm using the water flowing out of the heat exchange module 11.

[0132] In a specific implementation, the heat tracing pipe 17 can be arranged between the output end of the primary side of the heat exchange module 11 and the water drainage device. The water flowing out of the output end of the primary side of the heat exchange module 11 has a relatively high temperature, and is used to heat the equipment to be kept warm through the heat tracing pipe 17, instead of being directly drained by the water drainage device. This can further improve the utilization rate of the water and improve the energy efficiency ratio of the system.

[0133] For example, the equipment to be kept warm can be part of the pipeline of the system, and the heat tracing pipe 17 is used to heat the pipeline, thereby achieving the anti-freezing of the pipeline in winter.

[0134] In a possible implementation, the heat exchange module 11 further includes a second three-way diverter valve 116.

[0135] The outlet of the heat exchange module 11 is connected with the inlet of the second three-way diverter valve 116, the first outlet of the second three-way diverter valve 116 is connected with the inlet of the heat tracing pipe, and the second outlet of the second three-way diverter valve 116 is connected with the drainage device.

[0136] The second three-way diverter valve 116 is configured to control the water flow from the outlet of the heat exchange module 11 into the heat tracing pipe 17 according to the ambient temperature T5.

[0137] In a specific implementation, the second three-way diverter valve 116 can control the water flow from the outlet of the heat exchange module 11 into the heat tracing pipe 17 by adjusting the opening degree according to the ambient temperature T5. For example, when the ambient temperature T5 is high, the heat tracing of the equipment to be kept warm is not needed, and therefore the second three-way diverter valve 116 controls the water from the outlet of the heat exchange module 11 not to flow into the heat tracing pipe 17, thereby improving the flexibility of the system.

The sand remover 41 and the blowdown valve of the water storage tank 142 are periodically started. The seventh water pump 16 is started or stopped according to the liquid level in the water storage tank 15, the high water level pump is started, and the low water level pump is stopped.

[0140] Figure 3 The second mode scenario provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, in the second mode, the water cooling unit 13 is disabled, the server unit is enabled, the second heat exchanger 112 is enabled, and the air conditioner is cooled by the server unit.

The third water pump 115 pumps the cold water flowing out of the second side of the evaporator 131 into the first side of the first heat exchanger 111, after heat exchange, the second three-way valve 116 determines whether to open the heat tracing according to the ambient temperature T5, and the water finally flows back to the water storage tank 15 to complete all heat exchange of the first side. The rotation speed of the third water pump 115 is controlled by the second-side outlet water temperature T3 of the first heat exchanger 111.

At this time, due to the action of the check valve 124, it is ensured that the water flow can only enter the heat exchanger 1 for heat exchange, thereby completing the circulation on the second side. When the inlet temperature T2 of the first heat exchanger 111 is higher than the set point, the opening degree of the bypass valve 125 is reduced, so that part of the return water of the liquid cooling system enters the second heat exchanger 112 for cooling and heat exchange before entering the first heat exchanger 111.

At this time, the temperature of the water drawn by the water intake device is not higher than the first threshold, the water-cooled unit 13 is in the off state, the second shut-off valve 135 is closed, and the fifth water pump 136 stops. The third water pump 115 pumps cold water into the primary side of the first heat exchanger 111. After heat exchange, the second three-way diversion valve 116 determines whether to open the heat tracing based on the ambient temperature T5. The water finally flows back to the water storage tank 15 to complete all the heat exchange on the primary side.
