Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing technology for loop heat pipe air-cooled radiators, and in particular to a test bench for multi-heat source air-cooled radiators based on loop heat pipes. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and 3D modeling and rendering technologies in computer workstations, multiple core components such as processors, graphics cards, memory modules, and power chips generate a large amount of heat simultaneously during operation, creating a complex heat dissipation scenario with multiple heat sources. Meanwhile, the internal layout of modern computer workstations is becoming increasingly compact, making it difficult for traditional cooling methods to meet the efficient heat dissipation requirements of multi-heat-source and complex layouts. Multi-heat-source loop heat pipe air coolers, with their ability to connect multiple heat-generating components simultaneously, uniformly and efficiently transfer and distribute heat, and their flexible adaptation to complex and compact layouts, have become an important direction for solving the heat dissipation problem of computer workstations.
[0003] However, in the research and optimization of multi-heat-source loop heat pipe air-cooled radiators, a professional testing platform is urgently needed to evaluate their performance. Traditional radiator test benches are mostly designed for single heat sources or simple heat dissipation structures, making it difficult to simulate the real-world operating conditions of computer workstations with multiple heat sources and complex layouts, resulting in test results that are out of touch with actual application scenarios. Furthermore, existing test benches have poor design flexibility, making it difficult to quickly adjust parameters such as the number, power, and layout of heat sources according to research and development needs, leading to low testing efficiency and high costs. At the same time, most test benches only monitor temperature parameters, resulting in a single data dimension, insufficient data correlation, one-sided evaluation dimensions, and difficulty in supporting multi-parameter collaborative optimization, thus failing to meet the needs of multi-heat-source loop heat pipe air-cooled radiators research and development and iteration.
[0004] Therefore, designing a test bench for multi-heat source air-cooled radiators based on loop heat pipes, which has the ability to simulate multiple heat source scenarios, flexible and adjustable test conditions, and can realize multi-dimensional data monitoring, is of great significance for accurately evaluating radiator performance and accelerating product development.

Finally, the liquid flows back to the first evaporator 1-1, second evaporator 1-2, third evaporator 1-3, and fourth evaporator 1-4 respectively to form a self-driven two-phase fluid loop.
[0123] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first heat source 2 includes a top cover 2-1, a heating block 2-2, a heating rod 2-3, a base 2-4, and bolts 2-5.

[0131] Temperature data from various measuring points fed back to the host computer 10 via temperature acquisition instrument 6 can be used to evaluate the minimum starting power, heat transfer capacity, temperature uniformity, and system thermal resistance of multi-heat source air-cooled radiators.
[0132] 1. Minimum starting power Qmin [W]: The power is adjusted every 5W by the power adapter 9. When the temperature T1 to T20 rises and can be maintained in a stable state, the power at this time is the minimum starting power Qmin.
[0133] 2. Heat transfer capacity Qmax[W]: The heat transfer capacity Qmax is determined by adjusting the heat power every 50W through the power adapter 9. When the temperature T1 to T20 can be maintained in a stable state, it indicates that the system is operating normally. When the power is adjusted to a certain level Q, any temperature in T1 to T20 rises rapidly. Q-50(W) is the heat transfer capacity Qmax.
[0134] 3. System temperature uniformity ΔT [°C]: The temperature difference ΔT of the entire system is used as the index to evaluate the system temperature uniformity, that is, ΔT = max(T5,T6,…,T20) - min(T5,T6,…,T20);
[0135] 4. System thermal resistance R [℃ / W]: The heat power Q has a linear relationship with the system temperature uniformity ΔT, and the system thermal resistance R = ΔT / Q;
[0136] 5. Interfacial thermal resistance R_c [℃ / W]: Used to evaluate the contact thermal resistance between the evaporator and the heat source. The heat power of a single heat source is Q / 4, and there is an interfacial thermal resistance between each heat source and the evaporator. The interfacial thermal resistance between the first heat source 2 and the first evaporator 1-1 is shown below. The interfacial thermal resistance between the second heat source 3 and the second evaporator 1-2 The interfacial thermal resistance between the third heat source 4 and the third evaporator 1-3 The interfacial thermal resistance between the fourth heat source 5 and the fourth evaporator 1-4
[0137] By feeding back the parameters from each measuring point to the host computer 10 via the air parameter acquisition instrument 8, the performance of the air-cooled radiators 1-10 and the airflow of the fans 1-16 can be evaluated.
[0138] 1. Performance of air-cooled radiator 1-10: The enthalpy of the inlet air (h1) can be calculated from the inlet air temperature (T21), inlet air humidity (H1), and atmospheric pressure (P0). The enthalpy of the outlet air (h2) can be calculated from the outlet air temperature (T22), outlet air humidity (H2), and atmospheric pressure (P0). The cross-sectional area of the air duct 7 is A, then the air volume (V) = W * A. The system's heat dissipation (Q_out) = V * D * (h2 - h1), where D is the density of air. Given the thermal power (Q), when the system's thermal power (Q) matches the heat dissipation (Q_out), it indicates that the air-cooled radiator 1-10 meets the performance requirements.
[0139] 2. Fan speed control of fans 1-16: When the outlet air temperature T22 increases, reducing the fan speed W can also meet the heat exchange requirements. By adjusting the fan speed W of fans 1-16, we can find the most economical fan speed control strategy under different heat power Q, thus contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0140] In a specific embodiment 2, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a test bench for a dual-heat-source air-cooled radiator based on a loop heat pipe includes a multi-heat-source air-cooled radiator module 1, a first heat source 2, a second heat source 3, a temperature acquisition instrument 6, an air duct 7, an air parameter acquisition instrument 8, a power adapter 9, a host computer 10, and a bracket 11.
[0141] like Figure 10 As shown, the multi-heat source air-cooled radiator module 1 includes a first evaporator 1-1, a second evaporator 1-2, a first steam pipe 1-5, a second steam pipe 1-6, a steam manifold 1-9, an air-cooled radiator 1-10, a liquid manifold 1-11, a first liquid pipe 1-12, a second liquid pipe 1-13, and a fan 1-16. This embodiment has two heat sources, corresponding to two evaporators, two steam pipes, and two liquid pipes.
[0142] After the first evaporator 1-1 and the second evaporator 1-2 absorb heat, the working fluid evaporates into gas and enters the first steam pipeline 1-5 and the second steam pipeline 1-6 respectively. The steam from each pipeline is collected in the steam manifold 1-9 and then enters the air-cooled radiator 1-10. The steam exchanges heat with the air and condenses into liquid, which enters the liquid manifold 1-11 and is then distributed to the first liquid pipeline 1-12 and the second liquid pipeline 1-13. Finally, it flows back into the first evaporator 1-1 and the second evaporator 1-2 to form a self-driven two-phase fluid loop.
[0143] In this embodiment, the first heat source 2 is attached to the first evaporator 1-1, and the second heat source 3 is attached to the second evaporator 1-2.

[0148] The structure, connection method, and control of the first heat source 2 and the second heat source 3 in this example are the same as in Example 1. The maximum total power of each heat source group in this example is also 1000W. The output heat power Q of the heat source is adjusted by regulating the current and voltage through the power adapter 9.
[0149] Similarly, in Example 2, temperature data from various measuring points fed back to the host computer 10 via temperature acquisition instrument 6 and air parameter acquisition instrument 8 can be used to evaluate the performance of multi-heat source air-cooled radiators and air-cooled radiators 1-10, as well as the airflow of fans 1-16. The theoretical basis of the evaluation method is the same as in Example 1.
[0150] 1. Minimum starting power Qmin [W]: The power is adjusted every 5W by the power adapter 9. When the temperature of T1 to T12 rises and can be maintained in a stable state, the power at this time is the minimum starting power Qmin.
[0151] 2. Heat transfer capacity Qmax[W]: The heat transfer capacity Qmax is determined by adjusting the heat power every 50W through the power adapter 9. When the temperature T1 to T12 can be maintained in a stable state, it indicates that the system is operating normally. When the power is adjusted to a certain level Q, any temperature in T1 to T12 rises rapidly. Q-50(W) is the heat transfer capacity Qmax.
[0152] 3. System temperature uniformity ΔT [°C]: The temperature difference ΔT of the entire system is used as the index to evaluate the system temperature uniformity, that is, ΔT = max(T3,T4,…,T12) - min(T3,T4,…,T12);
[0153] 4. System thermal resistance R [℃ / W]: The heat power Q has a linear relationship with the system temperature uniformity ΔT, and the system thermal resistance R = ΔT / Q;
[0154] 5. Interfacial thermal resistance R_c [℃ / W]: Used to evaluate the contact thermal resistance between the evaporator and the heat source. The heat power of a single heat source is Q / 2, and there is an interfacial thermal resistance between each heat source and the evaporator. The interfacial thermal resistance between the first heat source 2 and the first evaporator 1-1 is shown below. The interfacial thermal resistance between the second heat source 3 and the second evaporator 1-2
[0155] 6. Performance of air-cooled radiator 1-10: The enthalpy of the inlet air (h1) can be calculated from the inlet air temperature (T13), inlet air humidity (H1), and atmospheric pressure (P0). The enthalpy of the outlet air (h2) can be calculated from the outlet air temperature (T14), outlet air humidity (H2), and atmospheric pressure (P0). The cross-sectional area of the air duct 7 is A, then the air volume (V) = W * A. The system's heat dissipation (Q_out) = V * D * (h2 - h1), where D is the density of air. Given the thermal power (Q), when the system's thermal power (Q) matches the heat dissipation (Q_out), it indicates that the air-cooled radiator 1-10 meets the performance requirements.
[0156] 7. Fan speed control of fans 1-16: When the outlet air temperature T14 increases, reducing the fan speed W can also meet the heat exchange requirements. By adjusting the fan speed W of fans 1-16, the most economical fan speed control strategy under different heat power Q can be found.
