Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dry coolers, and more particularly to a modular dry cooler. Background Technology
[0002] A dry cooler, also known as a dry-type cooler, cools the liquid inside the pipes by allowing natural air to pass through them, thereby lowering the temperature of the liquid inside the pipes and achieving the purpose of cooling.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 202420818253.9 discloses a modular data center dry cooler, including several heat dissipation devices. The heat dissipation devices include a base, a bottom plate, a front plate, a rear plate, a top plate, two partitioned heat sinks, and a fan. The top plate has ventilation openings. The fan is located above the ventilation openings. The two partitioned heat sinks are located on the left and right sides of the top plate, respectively. The top plate, bottom plate, front plate, and rear plate are all detachably fixed to the partitioned heat sinks. All heat dissipation devices are closely arranged in the front-to-back direction. It also includes two liquid inlet manifolds and two liquid outlet manifolds. The liquid inlet manifolds and liquid outlet manifolds are provided on both the left and right sides of the heat dissipation devices. The partitioned heat sink includes a core, an upper end cap, and a lower end cap. The upper end cap is connected to the adjacent liquid inlet manifold. The lower end cap is connected to the adjacent liquid outlet manifold. The above patent improves the risk resistance of the dry cooler by independently connecting each partitioned heat sink to the liquid inlet manifold or the liquid outlet manifold.

[0049] The second wall-mounted radiator 22 includes a second upper end cap 221, a second core 222, and a second lower end cap 223. The second upper end cap 221 is fixed to the top of the second core 222; the second lower end cap 223 is fixed to the bottom of the second core 222; a third liquid flow port 2211 is provided through the side of the second upper end cap 221; a fourth liquid flow port 2231 is provided through the side of the second lower end cap 223; all the second wall-mounted radiators 22 are arranged side by side; a third connector 25 is fixed at the third liquid flow port 2211; a fourth connector 26 is fixed at the fourth liquid flow port 2231; the third liquid flow ports 2211 of two adjacent second wall-mounted radiators 22 are connected through the third connector 25; the fourth liquid flow ports 2231 of two adjacent second wall-mounted radiators 22 are connected through the fourth connector 26.

The coolant enters the second upper head 221 through the three liquid inlets 2211, and flows within the continuous first upper head 211 and the continuous second upper head 221. The coolant enters the first core 212 from the first upper head 211, and then enters the first lower head 213 from the first core 212, or enters the second core 222 from the second upper head 221, and then enters the second lower head 223 from the second core 222.

When the outside air passes through the first partition radiator 21 and the second partition radiator 22 at the left and right ends of the shell 1, it exchanges heat with the heat carried by the coolant in the first core 212 and the second core 222, so that the outside air absorbs the heat of the coolant in the first core 212 and the second core 222, thereby reducing the temperature of the coolant.

The heat dissipation assembly 2 includes a plurality of first partition radiators 21 and a plurality of second partition radiators 22, and also includes a plurality of first connectors 23, a plurality of second connectors 24, a plurality of third connectors 25 and a plurality of fourth connectors 26. A first liquid flow port 2111 is provided through the side of the first upper end cap 211. The first connector 23 is fixed at the first liquid flow port 2111. The first liquid flow ports 2111 of two adjacent first partition radiators 21 are connected through the first connector 23. All the first upper end caps 211 are connected through the first connector 23. The coolant flows through the first liquid flow port 2111 in all the first upper end caps 211. A first liquid inlet 4 is connected at the first upper end cap 211, thereby realizing the cooling... The liquid enters into multiple first partition wall radiators 21, which, compared to the prior art, reduces the need for a single inlet manifold and allows for the simultaneous use of multiple radiators, thereby reducing the production cost of the dry cooler. Similarly, the second liquid flow ports 2131 of two adjacent first partition wall radiators 21 are connected by a second connector 24, reducing the need for a single outlet manifold; the third liquid flow ports 2211 of two adjacent second partition wall radiators 22 are connected by a third connector 25, reducing the need for another inlet manifold; and the fourth liquid flow ports 2231 of two adjacent second partition wall radiators 22 are connected by a fourth connector 26, reducing the need for another outlet manifold. Through the above structure, the piping and coolant flow path can be optimized, reducing the need for two inlet manifolds and two outlet manifolds, thereby reducing the production cost of the dry cooler.
[0054] Furthermore, when multiple independent first-wall radiators 21 or second-wall radiators 22 are combined to form a dry cooler, if one of the first-wall radiators 21 or second-wall radiators 22 in the dry cooler is damaged, it can be replaced individually, avoiding a serious impact on cooling efficiency due to damage to the dry cooler and improving the dry cooler's resilience. At the same time, by replacing a damaged first-wall radiator 21 or second-wall radiator 22 individually, the entire dry cooler can be replaced, extending its service life. Moreover, multiple independent first-wall radiators 21 or second-wall radiators 22 can be brazed in a brazing furnace. Compared to using a large radiator to replace multiple first-wall radiators 21 or second-wall radiators 22 in the dry cooler, using multiple independent first-wall radiators 21 or second-wall radiators 22 can overcome the size limitations of the brazing furnace and improve the production efficiency of the dry cooler.
