[0001] This application relates to the field of server technology, and more specifically, to a containerized cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, with the explosive growth of data volume, data centers, as a crucial infrastructure of the information society, have seen their energy consumption and cooling efficiency become a focus of industry attention. Liquid cooling technology, in particular, as a highly efficient and environmentally friendly heat dissipation solution, has been widely applied in the data center field, significantly improving server performance and stability. Among them, cold plate liquid cooling systems, due to their direct contact with the heat-generating components of servers, can quickly conduct heat and reduce thermal resistance, making them one of the preferred cooling solutions for many large data centers. This system consists of liquid-cooled servers, liquid-cooled cabinets, cooling distribution units (CDUs), cooling loops, circulating pumps, and a cold source (such as a cooling tower or chiller unit), effectively reducing the PUE value of data centers and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction goals.
[0003] However, the construction and operation of cold plate liquid-cooled data centers also face a major technical challenge: construction cycle and land area issues. Traditional liquid cooling system components are dispersed, requiring separate land applications, server room construction, and complex piping layouts. This not only extends the overall construction time of the data center, from several months to a year or even longer, but also significantly increases the land area required. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a containerized cooling device for cooling a server. The cooling device includes a container, and the container is provided with a heat dissipation area, a heat exchange area and a heat-receiving area arranged along its length.

[0006] The cooling module, located within the heat dissipation area, is used to provide cooling water;
[0007] A heat exchange module is located within the heat exchange zone. The heat exchange module includes a heat exchange component, which has a relatively independent first heat exchange pipe and a second heat exchange pipe. Both ends of the first heat exchange pipe are connected to the cooling module. The inlet end of the second heat exchange pipe is connected to the outlet end of the cooling component, and the outlet end of the second heat exchange pipe is connected to the inlet end of the cooling component, so that the heat exchange component can use the cooling water in the first heat exchange pipe to exchange heat with the heat source in the second heat exchange pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, the cooling component includes a cooling body, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to the outlet end of the second heat exchange pipe, and the outlet pipe is connected to the inlet end of the second heat exchange pipe, so that the heat source after the component to be cooled is transported to the second heat exchange pipe through the outlet pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a water supply structure, which is located in the heat exchange zone and connected to the second heat exchange pipe. The water supply structure is used to store backup cooling water.
[0010] A pressure detection component is installed on the second heat exchange pipe to detect the real-time pressure of the cooling water in the second heat exchange pipe.
[0011] The controller is connected to both the water supply structure and the pressure detection component to control the water supply structure to deliver backup cooling water into the second heat exchange pipe when the real-time pressure is lower than the set pressure.
[0012] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a water treatment structure, which is located in the heat exchange zone. The inlet end of the water treatment structure is connected to the outlet end of the water supply structure, and the outlet end of the water treatment structure is connected to the second heat exchange pipe, so as to filter impurities in the standby cooling water when the water supply structure delivers standby cooling water into the second heat exchange pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a power component, which is installed on the cooling module to pump the cooling water in the cooling module to the first heat exchange pipe;
[0014] The cooling module includes a cooling tower and a delivery pipeline, with the power components mounted on the delivery pipeline.
[0015] Furthermore, the heat dissipation area includes a receiving area and a cold area arranged sequentially along the height of the container. Multiple components to be cooled are located in the receiving area. The container has multiple air inlets, all of which are connected to the cold area, so that external airflow can be introduced into the cold area through the multiple air inlets to cool the multiple components to be cooled in the receiving area.
[0016] Furthermore, the heat dissipation area also includes a hot zone, which is located on the side of the housing area away from the cold zone. An air outlet is provided on the side wall of the container, which is connected to the hot zone, so as to discharge at least part of the hot air generated by the multiple heat dissipation components from the air outlet to the container. The air outlet is located below the air inlet.
[0017] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a temperature detection component, which is installed on the cooling body and / or the liquid inlet pipe to detect the real-time temperature of the cooling body and / or the liquid inlet pipe;
[0018] A flow regulating component is installed on the second heat exchange pipe to regulate the flow rate of cooling water flowing into the second heat exchange pipe;
[0019] The controller is connected to both the temperature detection component and the flow regulation component to control the opening of the flow regulation component according to the real-time temperature, thereby increasing or decreasing the flow rate of cooling water flowing into the second heat exchange pipe.
[0020] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes an air inlet component, which is rotatably mounted at the air inlet to introduce airflow from outside the container into the cold zone;
[0021] The controller is connected to the temperature detection components of the air intake component and the cooling device to control the rotation speed of the air intake component based on the detection results of the temperature detection components.
[0022] Furthermore, the cooling device includes multiple partition components, which are spaced apart sequentially within the container to divide the container into a heat dissipation zone, a heat exchange zone, and a heat-receiving zone.
[0023] This application achieves efficient and stable cooling of servers by adopting this integrated containerized cooling device design. First, the rational layout of the cooling module, heat exchange module, and heat dissipation area shortens the transmission path of cooling water, reduces heat loss and energy consumption during transmission, and improves the overall energy efficiency ratio of the system.
[0024] Secondly, the first and second heat exchange pipes of the heat exchange module ensure efficient heat exchange between the cooling water and the heat source. When the cooling water flows in the first heat exchange pipe, it can quickly absorb the heat transferred from the second heat exchange pipe. The temperature of the heat source (the hot liquid generated by the server) is effectively reduced after heat exchange, providing continuous cooling support for the server, thereby greatly improving the server's heat dissipation efficiency and operational stability.
[0025] Finally, the cooling device of this application embodiment can achieve precise cooling of the server, avoiding problems such as overcooling or uneven cooling that may occur in traditional cooling systems, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption of the data center and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] Currently, with the explosive growth of data volume, data centers, as a crucial infrastructure of the information society, have seen their energy consumption and cooling efficiency become a focus of industry attention. Liquid cooling technology, in particular, as a highly efficient and environmentally friendly heat dissipation solution, has been widely applied in the data center field, significantly improving server performance and stability. Among them, cold plate liquid cooling systems, due to their direct contact with the heat-generating components of servers, can quickly conduct heat and reduce thermal resistance, making them one of the preferred cooling solutions for many large data centers. This system consists of liquid-cooled servers, liquid-cooled cabinets, cooling distribution units (CDUs), cooling loops, circulating pumps, and a cold source (such as a cooling tower or chiller unit), effectively reducing the PUE value of data centers and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction goals.
[0035] However, the construction and operation of cold plate liquid-cooled data centers also face a major technical challenge: construction cycle and land area issues. Traditional liquid cooling system components are dispersed, requiring separate land applications, server room construction, and complex piping layouts. This not only extends the overall construction time of the data center, from several months to a year or even longer, but also significantly increases the land area required.
[0036] This application provides a containerized cooling device to solve the problems of long construction period and increased footprint caused by the dispersed components of liquid cooling systems in the prior art.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the containerized cooling device provided in this application embodiment is used to cool a server. The cooling device includes a container 1. The container 1 is provided with a heat dissipation area 101, a heat exchange area 102 and a heat-receiving area 103 arranged along its length. The heat-receiving area 103 is used to accommodate a plurality of heat-receiving components 2. Each heat-receiving component 2 is provided with a cooling component so as to dissipate heat from the heat-receiving component 2 through the cooling component.
[0038] Cooling module 3, located within heat dissipation zone 101, is used to provide cooling water;
[0039] The heat exchange module 4 is disposed within the heat exchange zone 102. The heat exchange module 4 includes a heat exchange component 401. The heat exchange component 401 has a relatively independent first heat exchange pipe 402 and a second heat exchange pipe 403. Both ends of the first heat exchange pipe 402 are connected to the cooling module 3. The inlet end of the second heat exchange pipe 403 is connected to the outlet end of the cooling component, and the outlet end of the second heat exchange pipe 403 is connected to the inlet end of the cooling component, so that the heat exchange component 401 uses the cooling water in the first heat exchange pipe 402 to exchange heat with the heat source in the second heat exchange pipe 403.
[0040] When the containerized cooling device of this application embodiment is in use, firstly, the cooling module 3 is started to generate low-temperature cooling water. The cooling water enters the heat exchange module 4 through the first heat exchange pipe 402. At this time, the heat exchange component 401 of the heat exchange module 4 is in working state, and the cooling water circulates inside the heat exchange component 401 in preparation for heat exchange. At the same time, the server or other components 2 in the heat dissipation area 103 transfer the generated heat to the second heat exchange pipe 403 through the cooling component (such as a cold plate). The first heat exchange pipe 402 and the second heat exchange pipe 403 of the heat exchange component 401 form a heat exchange loop. The cooling water flows in the first heat exchange pipe 402 and performs efficient heat exchange with the heat source in the second heat exchange pipe 403, thereby absorbing the heat generated by the server and causing the temperature of the cooling water to gradually rise.
[0041] As the cooling water temperature rises, it continues to flow in the first heat exchange pipe 402 and eventually returns to the cooling module 3. The cooling module 3 lowers the temperature of the cooling water through its built-in cooling tower 301, restoring its cooling capacity. The cooled cooling water is then circulated back to the heat exchange module 4, repeating the above heat exchange process, thus achieving continuous circulation of cooling water and continuous heat transfer within the system.
[0042] Meanwhile, the heat source of the second heat exchange pipe 403 (i.e., the hot liquid generated by the server) is cooled down after heat exchange and flows back to the inlet of the cooling component through the outlet end of the heat exchange module 4, forming a closed loop that continuously removes heat from the server and ensures that the server operates within a suitable temperature range.
[0043] By adopting this integrated container cooling device design, efficient and stable cooling of the server is achieved. First, the rational layout of the cooling module 3, heat exchange module 4, and heat dissipation area 103 shortens the transmission path of cooling water, reduces heat loss and energy consumption during transmission, and improves the overall energy efficiency ratio of the system.
[0044] Secondly, the first heat exchange pipe 402 and the second heat exchange pipe 403 of the heat exchange module 4 ensure efficient heat exchange between the cooling water and the heat source. When the cooling water flows in the first heat exchange pipe 402, it can quickly absorb the heat transferred from the second heat exchange pipe 403. The temperature of the heat source (the hot liquid generated by the server) is effectively reduced after heat exchange, providing continuous cooling support for the server, thereby greatly improving the server's heat dissipation efficiency and operational stability.
[0045] Finally, the cooling device of this application embodiment can achieve precise cooling of the server, avoiding problems such as overcooling or uneven cooling that may occur in traditional cooling systems, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption of the data center and improving energy utilization efficiency.
[0046] Furthermore, the cooling component includes a cooling body, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to the outlet end of the second heat exchange pipe 403, and the outlet pipe is connected to the inlet end of the second heat exchange pipe 403, so that the heat source after the heat dissipation of the component 2 to be cooled is transported to the second heat exchange pipe 403 through the outlet pipe.
[0047] By further optimizing the design of the cooling components, specifically by tightly connecting the cooling body and the second heat exchange pipe 403 through inlet and outlet pipes, the containerized cooling device of this embodiment achieves a more precise and efficient cooling effect for the server. First, the cooling body directly contacts the heat source on the component 2 to be cooled, and the rapid flow of cooling water removes heat, greatly improving heat transfer efficiency and ensuring that the server maintains a stable operating temperature under high load.
[0048] Secondly, the unique configuration of the inlet and outlet pipes allows cooling water to flow in from the outlet of the second heat exchange pipe 403, absorb heat through the cooling body, and then flow back to the inlet of the second heat exchange pipe 403 from the outlet pipe of the cooling body, forming a closed loop. This design ensures efficient heat recovery and utilization, and avoids temperature fluctuations of the cooling water during transmission.
[0049] Finally, the efficient heat exchange between the cooling water and the heat source in the second heat exchange pipe 403, and the subsequent circulation cooling of the cooling water between the first heat exchange pipe 402 and the cooling module 3, form a continuous and stable cooling process, effectively avoiding the occurrence of overcooling or local hot spots.
[0050] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a water supply structure 5, which is located in the heat exchange zone 102 and connected to the second heat exchange pipe 403. The water supply structure 5 is used to store backup cooling water.
[0051] A pressure detection component is installed on the second heat exchange pipe 403 to detect the real-time pressure of the cooling water in the second heat exchange pipe 403.
[0052] The controller is connected to the water supply structure 5 and the pressure detection component to control the water supply structure 5 to deliver backup cooling water to the second heat exchange pipe 403 when the real-time pressure is lower than the set pressure.
[0053] First, the cooling water undergoes heat exchange between the first heat exchange pipe 402 and the second heat exchange pipe 403 within the heat exchange module 4, transferring the heat energy generated by the server to the external environment. Simultaneously, a pressure detection component installed on the second heat exchange pipe 403 continuously monitors the cooling water pressure within it. If the real-time pressure in the pipe is detected to be lower than a preset minimum safe pressure threshold, a signal is immediately sent to the controller.
[0054] After receiving a low pressure alarm signal, the controller quickly activates the emergency procedure, opens the valve between the water supply structure 5 and the second heat exchange pipe 403, and replenishes the cooling water in the water supply structure 5, which stores backup cooling water, into the second heat exchange pipe 403.
[0055] This integrated water replenishment mechanism enables the cooling device of this application embodiment to have higher reliability and automation. When the cooling water in the system experiences a pressure drop due to evaporation, leakage, or other reasons, the real-time monitoring by the pressure detection component, combined with the controller settings, allows for rapid and accurate replenishment of cooling water, avoiding the risk of a sudden drop in cooling effect or system shutdown, and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the server.
[0056] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a water treatment structure 6, which is installed in the heat exchange zone 102. The inlet end of the water treatment structure 6 is connected to the outlet end of the water supply structure 5, and the outlet end of the water treatment structure 6 is connected to the second heat exchange pipe 403, so as to filter impurities in the standby cooling water when the water supply structure 5 delivers standby cooling water to the second heat exchange pipe 403.
[0057] By adding a water treatment structure 6 to the cooling device, the stability of the system and the quality of the cooling water are further improved. The water treatment structure 6 is linked with the water supply structure 5. When the cooling system triggers the water replenishment mechanism due to insufficient cooling water pressure, the standby cooling water is first purified through the water treatment structure 6. This process effectively filters out impurities that may be present in the cooling water, including but not limited to dust, microorganisms, and other suspended particulate matter, ensuring that the cooling water replenished into the second heat exchange pipe 403 is clean and uncontaminated.
[0058] By filtering impurities in this way, blockage and corrosion of critical components such as cooling pipes and heat exchange components 401 are avoided, extending the service life of the cooling system, greatly reducing the risk of system downtime, and ensuring the high availability and stability of the data center.
[0059] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a power component, which is installed on the cooling module 3, to pump the cooling water in the cooling module 3 to the first heat exchange pipe 402;
[0060] The cooling module 3 includes a cooling tower 301 and a conveying pipe, with the power component mounted on the conveying pipe.
[0061] Optionally, the power component is a water pump.
[0062] Further optimization of the cooling device in this embodiment of the application, through the addition of a power component and the improvement of the structure of the cooling module 3, achieves efficient propulsion of cooling water circulation and precise energy management. The power component is located at the delivery pipe on the cooling module 3, and is specifically used to pump the cooling water in the cooling tower 301 to the first heat exchange pipe 402, ensuring smooth flow and rapid circulation of cooling water in the system.
[0063] Furthermore, the heat dissipation area 103 includes a receiving area 104 and a cold area 105 arranged sequentially along the height direction of the container 1. Multiple heat dissipation components 2 are located in the receiving area 104. Multiple air inlets 7 are provided on the container 1, and the multiple air inlets 7 are all connected to the cold area 105 so as to introduce external airflow into the cold area 105 through the multiple air inlets 7 to perform air cooling heat dissipation on the multiple heat dissipation components 2 located in the receiving area.
[0064] Furthermore, the heat dissipation area 103 also includes a hot area 106, which is located on the side of the housing area 104 away from the cold area 105. An air outlet 8 is provided on the side wall of the container 1, which is connected to the hot area 106 to discharge at least part of the hot air generated by the multiple heat dissipation components 2 from the air outlet 8 to the container 1. The air outlet 8 is located below the air inlet 7.
[0065] The vertically layered layout of the cooling zone 105 and the housing zone 104, combined with the introduction of the air inlet 7, effectively guides the flow of cold air from top to bottom. The air first passes through the cooling zone 105, and then enters the housing zone 104 through natural convection or forced ventilation, efficiently contacting the server's heat dissipation components 2 and carrying away the heat they generate. This design ensures that the cold air can directly and fully cool the components 2, avoiding the recirculation of hot air and improving cooling efficiency.
[0066] The connection between the hot zone 106 and the air outlet 8 provides a direct exhaust path for the heat generated by the server. The air outlet 8 is located below the air inlet 7. Utilizing the natural physical property of rising hot air, it promotes the flow of hot air from the hot zone 106 to the air outlet 8, ensuring that hot air can be quickly discharged from the container 1, preventing heat accumulation, reducing the temperature gradient inside the data center, and improving the uniformity of the overall thermal environment.
[0067] The combined use of air cooling and liquid cooling enables multi-mode cooling of the component 2 to be cooled. That is, on the basis of direct contact heat dissipation by liquid cooling, air cooling is used to accelerate heat exchange. Especially in areas with high heat load, the temperature can be balanced more quickly and energy utilization efficiency can be improved with the assistance of air cooling.
[0068] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a temperature detection component, which is installed on the cooling body and / or the liquid inlet pipe to detect the real-time temperature of the cooling body and / or the liquid inlet pipe;
[0069] A flow regulating component is provided on the second heat exchange pipe 403 to regulate the flow rate of cooling water flowing into the second heat exchange pipe 403;
[0070] The controller is connected to both the temperature detection component and the flow regulation component to control the opening of the flow regulation component according to the real-time temperature, so as to increase or decrease the flow rate of cooling water flowing into the second heat exchange pipe 403.
[0071] The temperature detection component monitors the temperature changes of the cooling body and the liquid inlet pipe in real time, and this data is quickly transmitted to the controller. Based on the real-time temperature information, the controller adjusts the opening of the flow regulation component in an instant, enabling the flow regulation component to accurately respond to the temperature requirements under different heat load conditions, ensuring that the cooling body and the component to be cooled are in the optimal cooling state. This control method avoids the overcooling or insufficient heat dissipation that may occur in the traditional fixed flow cooling mode, thus improving the overall thermal stability of the system.
[0072] The flow regulating component can adjust the flow rate of cooling water according to the controller's instructions. When the system detects an increase in temperature, the controller will command the flow regulating component to increase the opening and increase the cooling water flow rate; conversely, it will reduce the flow rate.
[0073] Because the controller can receive feedback data from the temperature detection component in real time and react quickly by adjusting the opening of the flow regulation component, the cooling device in this embodiment of the application has the ability to respond quickly to temperature changes, adapt to server load fluctuations in a short time, maintain constant cooling performance of the system, and improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the data center.
[0074] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes an air inlet component, which is rotatably mounted at the air inlet 7 to introduce airflow from outside the container 1 into the cold zone 105;
[0075] The controller is connected to the temperature detection components of the air intake component and the cooling device to control the rotation speed of the air intake component based on the detection results of the temperature detection components.
[0076] Optionally, the air intake component is a fan.
[0077] The rotatable design of the air intake component allows for the direct introduction of outside cold air into the cold zone 105 of container 1, thereby enhancing the efficiency and targeted nature of air-cooled heat dissipation. The linkage between the controller and the temperature detection component enables the cooling system to monitor the temperature of the cold zone 105 in real time and adjust the rotation speed of the air intake component accordingly. When the temperature detection component detects a temperature rise, the controller automatically increases the rotation speed of the air intake component to increase the amount of cold air introduced; conversely, it decreases the rotation speed or reduces the airflow to maintain the temperature of the cold zone 105 within the ideal heat dissipation range. This ensures stable operating temperatures for the server and other heat dissipation components 2, preventing overheating or overcooling, thus improving the system's thermal management accuracy and energy efficiency.
[0078] Furthermore, the cooling device includes multiple partitions 9, which are spaced apart sequentially within the container 1 to divide the container 1 into a heat dissipation zone 101, a heat exchange zone 102, and a heat dissipation zone 103.
[0079] Optionally, the partition component 9 is a partition plate.
[0080] The presence of the partition component 9 ensures independent circulation of hot and cold fluids between the heat dissipation zone 101 and the heat exchange zone 102, avoiding the mixing of hot and cold airflows, allowing the cooling water to exchange heat more purely within the heat exchange zone 102, and improving the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling water and the external environment or heat recovery unit.
[0081] The placement of the separator 9 not only helps to organize airflow and optimize thermal management, but also effectively reduces mutual interference between different areas and improves the overall stability of the system.
[0082] The rational layout of multiple partition components 9 optimizes the space utilization inside the container 1, enabling the entire cooling system to operate efficiently within a limited space. This not only reduces the floor space occupied but also provides a more compact and efficient working environment for the server and other heat dissipation components 2.
