Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water manifold technology, and more specifically, it relates to a 30 water manifold suitable for cold plate liquid-cooled server racks. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, data exchange, storage, and computation are carried out across all industries globally. Current air-cooled servers have high power consumption and low single-rack power. Liquid cooling technology is a reliable and feasible solution to reduce data center energy consumption, offering advantages such as improved server efficiency and stability, reduced energy consumption ratio, and increased server density. It has become a key measure for the green development of data centers. Traditional manifolds are machined using 304 stainless steel welded pipes on CNC milling machines, resulting in high processing costs and low efficiency. Pipeline welding uses laser welding, which has insufficient weld strength and poses a risk of weld detachment. The manifold's exhaust valve lacks a backflow device, posing a risk of liquid cooling splashing onto the server. Furthermore, the exhaust valve cannot be replaced or maintained online in case of malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0006] In at least some implementations, the piping assembly includes: a manifold steel pipe and a connecting pipe; the manifold steel pipe is generally square in structure, and is made of seamless stainless steel pipe with laser cutting and magnetic polishing. All pipe welding adopts argon arc welding full welding process, which has good sealing performance; the top of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the manifold steel pipe.
[0007] In at least some implementations, the piping assembly further includes: a chuck and a branch connection threaded seat; the chuck is installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe and is connected to the secondary piping in the machine room; the branch connection threaded seat is installed on the surface of the manifold steel pipe and can be easily connected to the branch quick connector without the need for tools.
[0008] In at least some implementations, the pressure relief assembly includes: an automatic air vent valve, a backflow pipe, and a connecting hose; the automatic air vent valve is installed on the top of the manifold steel pipe and can automatically relieve pressure; one side of the backflow pipe is fixedly connected to the automatic air vent valve; the connecting hose is connected to the backflow pipe, and the automatic air vent valve, backflow pipe, and connecting hose can achieve automatic pressure relief, and when pressure is relieved, liquid overflows and is discharged at a fixed point.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] The water distribution pipes in this invention are made of 304 stainless steel seamless steel pipes, laser-cut and magnetically polished, making production convenient and cost-effective. All pipe welding uses argon arc welding for full welding, ensuring good sealing. A chuck connection method is used to achieve quick, tool-free connection to secondary pipelines in the machine room. Automatic air release valves, backflow pipes, and flexible hoses enable automatic pressure relief, with liquid overflowing and being discharged at designated points during pressure relief. A ball valve facilitates online replacement and maintenance in case of automatic air release valve failure. Attached Figure Description
