Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-cooled units, specifically to a device for testing the effectiveness of water-cooled units. Background Technology

[0002] As core equipment in industrial refrigeration, data center temperature control, and building air conditioning systems, the operating efficiency of water-cooled units directly affects energy consumption and equipment lifespan. Optimizing the energy efficiency of water-cooled units has become a key aspect of energy conservation and emission reduction. Currently, the industry commonly uses a combination of manual inspections and single-point instrument measurements to test the performance of water-cooled units.

[0003] Regarding water temperature detection, if the measurement is taken from the outside of the pipe, the temperature difference between the inside and outside will be caused by the heat conduction of the pipe wall, making it impossible to obtain accurate data. In addition, although thermal imagers can scan and detect the overall heat distribution of water-cooled units, they are usually handheld devices, which are inconvenient to operate and have poor stability when it is necessary to detect specific locations. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to detect problems with the water itself, as well as problems with both water inflow and outflow, and to achieve dynamic and static thermal imaging detection.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model is a water-cooled unit effect testing device, including a water-cooled unit, which is installed on a base plate. A heat detection structure is provided on one side of the base plate, and a water detection structure is placed on the other side of the base plate. The water detection structure includes a base, a support plate, and detection components. The base is placed on the base plate, and the support plate is placed on the base. Two sets of detection components are provided, and the two sets of detection components are respectively connected to the water inlet and water outlet of the water-cooled unit.

[0006] Furthermore, the detection component includes a fixed frame, a water pipe, a connecting frame, and a thermometer. The fixed frame is mounted on a support plate, and multiple sets of fixed frames are provided. The water pipe is installed on the fixed frame, the connecting frame is mounted on the support plate, and the thermometer is installed on the connecting frame with its bottom probe penetrating through the water pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, flanges are provided at both ends of the water pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the thermal detection structure includes a mobile vehicle, a support frame, a placement box, a locking ring, and a thermal imager. The mobile vehicle is located on one side of the base plate, the support frame is mounted on the mobile vehicle, the placement box is mounted on the support frame, the locking ring is located on one side of the placement box, and the thermal imager is locked and placed through the locking ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the placement box is provided with a display port.

[0010] Furthermore, the placement box has an opening on its side.

[0011] Furthermore, magnets are adhered to the sides of the mobile vehicle.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0013] 1. Utilizing a water detection structure, the temperature difference between the water in the inlet and outlet pipes is detected and displayed visually, allowing direct knowledge of the water temperature after cooling. If the water-cooling unit itself also displays the temperature, it can serve as a re-inspection and calibration tool.

[0014] 2. Thermal imaging devices can be used to detect whether there is localized overheating in pipelines or electrical components. If a localized area exceeds the normal operating temperature during operation, the cause needs to be investigated, as there may be early-stage potential problems. Attached Figure Description
