Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the server room heat removal and fire safety technical field relates to the heat dissipation and fire protection of the server room in data center and high density computing environment, especially relates to a kind of server cabinet air wall structure with heat dissipation and fire protection function, realize efficient heat dissipation, accurate fire protection and modular maintenance by the combination of air wall type heat pipe heat dissipation technology and external fire module. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of data center and server room technology, its power density is continuously improved, and the heat dissipation demand and fire safety requirement of equipment are also greatly increased. At present, the single-cabinet power density of large data centers has reached 15-30kW, and some high-performance computing centers even exceed 50kW. Such high power density not only brings huge heat dissipation pressure, but also significantly increases the fire risk.
[0003] In terms of heat dissipation technology, traditional data centers mainly use room-level air conditioning refrigeration. This method usually sets up precision air conditioners in the computer room and supplies cold air to the entire room space through the air supply system. Servers complete heat dissipation through front and rear convection. This heat dissipation method has the following problems: First, the cold and hot air flow is mixed seriously, the refrigeration efficiency is low, and the air conditioner end energy consumption is high; second, it is difficult to achieve precise temperature control for different areas and different power density servers, and local hot spots are prone to occur; third, the refrigeration system lacks effective cold backup mechanism, and once the air conditioner fails, the server may overheat and crash.
[0004] In terms of fire protection technology, existing data centers generally use room-level smoke temperature sensing linkage automatic fire extinguishing system. This system monitors the fire through smoke detectors and temperature sensors distributed in the computer room space. Once the alarm condition is triggered, the gas fire extinguishing device is started to extinguish the fire in the entire space. This scheme has the following shortcomings: First, due to the high installation position of the detector, it is difficult to sense the fire at the initial stage, resulting in delayed fire extinguishing start; second, it cannot accurately locate the fire source, and once the fire extinguishing system is started, it will affect the entire computer room area, causing unnecessary loss and business interruption; third, the traditional fire extinguishing system releases extinguishing agent in the entire room or a larger area after starting, which may cause noise damage or other physical damage to electronic equipment (such as hard disks and servers) in the computer room, and the release of extinguishing agent will damage the computer room environment and affect subsequent recovery work; fourth, existing precise fire protection technology realizes point-to-point fire monitoring and extinguishing by embedding fire modules in server cabinets or placing fire modules on the top of the cabinet. However, this design occupies the equipment installation space inside the cabinet or the cable arrangement space on the top, affecting the expandability of the server and the flexibility of wiring.
[0005] In summary, existing data center cooling systems generally suffer from low efficiency, high energy consumption, and poor temperature control accuracy. Fire suppression systems exhibit shortcomings such as slow response, inaccurate positioning, and a wide impact range. Furthermore, improved fire suppression modules often occupy rack space or hinder maintenance. Therefore, developing a technical solution that achieves both efficient cooling and precise fire suppression without compromising rack space or maintenance convenience is a pressing technical challenge in the data center construction field.
