Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server installation technology, and more specifically, to a server placement room for a heated container. Background Technology

[0002] The content in this section only provides background information related to this utility model and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] When building data centers in cold regions, heating and insulation of the servers is crucial. To prevent extreme low temperatures from harming server operation, heating is usually necessary. The ideal operating temperature for servers is typically between 18°C ​​and 27°C. Excessively low temperatures can cause changes in the characteristics of electronic components. For example, excessively low temperatures can alter the electrical characteristics of components such as capacitors and inductors, potentially leading to signal timing errors, system instability, or even failure to start. The lubricating oil in the bearings of the server's internal cooling fans may solidify or increase in viscosity at extremely low temperatures, making it difficult for the fans to start or causing them to run at insufficient speed. This can lead to the CPU and other core components crashing due to localized overheating. Continuous and drastic temperature fluctuations (such as thermal expansion and contraction during power-on and power-off) or the extremely low temperatures themselves can cause PCB board deformation and solder joint cracking. Cold air introduced from the outside has high humidity. When it enters the warm server room, it can cause condensation on the server motherboard and components, leading to short circuits and permanent damage to the equipment.

[0004] Currently, the main solutions for heating servers include preheating the server room. Before the server racks are installed or restarted after a long period of shutdown, the space is preheated with air conditioning or heating to raise the ambient temperature of the entire server room to a safe range, such as above 5°C. Alternatively, heating coils can be used to heat the cold outside air to avoid excessive cold or humidity.

[0005] However, the aforementioned technologies have the following drawbacks: server sites exchange a large amount of heat with the outside world. Heating them with air conditioning would require a huge amount of electricity, and heating cold air with heating coils would also require a huge amount of electricity, which is not only environmentally friendly but also causes a large amount of energy loss. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a server placement room for a heated container, which can effectively heat the server and reduce energy consumption.

[0007] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A server placement compartment for a heated container includes a main body, within which server racks are arranged. Multiple server racks are arranged sequentially along the length of the main body. A server oil tank is located below each server rack. The inlet of the server oil tank is connected to the outlet of the server rack, and the outlet of the server oil tank is connected to a hot oil channel. A pump is installed on the hot oil channel to pump hot oil to the inlet of the server rack.

[0009] In some possible embodiments, a heat exchange plate is connected to the hot oil channel, and the heat exchange plate is fixedly installed inside the placement chamber body.

[0010] In some possible embodiments, an aisle is formed between the side wall of the server rack and the inner wall of the main body of the placement chamber. The width of the aisle is set to 0.9m-1.5m, and the aisle is set as a maintenance passage.

[0011] In some possible embodiments, a heat detection component is provided inside the server rack, and a controller is provided on the pump body. The controller is electrically connected to the heat detection component and the pump body respectively. The heat detection component is used to detect the internal temperature of the server rack, and the controller turns the pump body on or off according to the internal temperature information of the server rack.

[0012] In some possible embodiments, multiple heat exchange plates are provided, and the multiple heat exchange plates are stacked.

[0013] In some possible embodiments, a door is provided on one side of the main body of the placement chamber along its length. The door opens outward and a buffer zone is provided between the door and the server placement rack. The heat exchange plate is fixedly installed in the buffer zone.

[0014] In some possible embodiments, the main body of the placement chamber is configured as two layers, and a partition is arranged horizontally inside the main body of the placement chamber, which divides the main body of the placement chamber into a bottom layer and a top layer. The server placement rack, pump body and heat exchange plate are all arranged in the bottom layer. The bottom layer and the top layer are connected by an inclined ladder. An opening is provided in the partition, and the bottom end of the inclined ladder is located at the bottom of the bottom layer, and the top end is connected to the opening.

[0015] In some possible embodiments, the heat exchange plate is fixedly disposed below the opening.

[0016] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model embodiment has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Through the design of the server oil tank and hot oil channel, efficient recovery and recycling of waste heat generated during server operation are achieved. The server oil tank located below the server rack is connected to the oil outlet, and the hot oil is pumped back to the oil inlet of the server rack through the pump body, forming a closed-loop circulation system. This process directly uses the heat generated by the server itself for heating, reducing reliance on traditional external heating equipment and significantly reducing energy consumption. The internal heat energy circulation not only maintains the ideal operating temperature of the server, but also avoids changes in the characteristics of electronic components, fan lubrication problems, or condensation risks caused by extreme low temperatures, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0018] 2. A heat detection component is integrated into the server rack and electrically connected to the controller on the pump body. This enables real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of the server's internal temperature. When the heat detection component detects that the temperature is below the safe threshold, the controller automatically starts the pump body to promote hot oil circulation and raise the temperature. Conversely, when the temperature is too high, the pump body is shut down to prevent overheating. This ensures that the server is always in the optimal operating environment, reduces hardware failures caused by temperature fluctuations, extends the equipment's lifespan, and optimizes energy distribution, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

[0019] 3. By setting up interval aisles and a double-layer structure, the space utilization and maintainability of the placement room are improved. The server racks and the inner wall of the main body of the placement room form interval aisles with a width of 0.9m to 1.5m, which serve as dedicated maintenance channels to facilitate technicians to inspect, repair or replace equipment, reducing the operational difficulties caused by narrow space. The main body of the placement room adopts a two-layer design, with the bottom and top layers separated by partitions. The server racks, pumps and heat exchange plates are all concentrated on the bottom layer, while the inclined ladder and openings connect the two layers, ensuring the convenience of personnel flow and equipment management.

[0020] 4. Multiple heat exchange plates are connected to the hot oil channel and fixed below the buffer zone or the opening. The stacked design increases the heat exchange area and promotes the uniform diffusion of heat. The heat exchange plates efficiently transfer the heat in the circulating hot oil to the air inside the room, avoiding the problem of uneven local temperature and ensuring stable heating of the environment around the server. Combined with the buffer zone design, the heat exchange plates can also reduce the impact of cold air intrusion when the door is opened, maintaining the internal temperature balance.
