Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a heat dissipation system, and more particularly to a liquid-cooled heat dissipation system. [Background technology]
[0002] The explosive development of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) or AI generated content (AIGC) has significantly increased the demand for high-speed computing power and the development of high-end computing chip modules. The huge amount of data and processing speed required for the application of AIGC continues to increase the demand for high-end AI servers. High-end AI servers use a relatively large number of central processing units (CPUs) and graphic processors (GPUs) at the same time, and the number of transistors contained in the high-end chips used has reached 175 billion in response to the high-speed and large-scale computing requirements of generative artificial intelligence (e.g. ChatGPT). The large and high-density heat source associated with the high efficiency and high power consumption of AI server chips has become a major challenge in heat dissipation capacity. For example, the energy consumption of server processors was only about 180 to 280 W in 2018, but it is expected to double to more than 500 W in 2023. For example, the AMD 5nm process Genoa processor and the A100 chip released by leading GPU manufacturer NVIDIA in 2022 have an energy consumption of 400W, which is about 40-50% higher than the previous generation processor. In 2023, the energy consumption of the Bergamo processor will exceed 500W, and the new generation of high-end GPU H100 chip created by NVIDIA specifically for AI servers has a maximum power of 700W. As the number of chips used in a server increases, power consumption increases and the complexity of the modular design of the heat dissipation solution also increases.
[0003] With the upgrade of new generation GPU and CPU, server computing, AI image generation and e-sports applications are the main driving force of growth in the heat dissipation industry. From the perspective of server heat dissipation technology, it can be mainly divided into air cooling, liquid cooling and immersion cooling. Generally, when the thermal power consumption of the chip exceeds 300W, it is difficult to solve the heat problem by air cooling.
[0004] Immersion cooling can be divided into single-phase and two-phase immersion cooling. Immersion cooling has the highest heat dissipation efficiency and can reach more than 1500W. However, since immersion cooling requires immersing the server in a tank with a large amount of cooling liquid, the configuration of the machine room needs to be redesigned according to the application, and the cooling liquid is not only very expensive, but also has problems in terms of environmental protection in application. In addition, more actual application data is needed to further clarify whether other peripheral components such as chips, PCB boards, network interface cards, and power supplies can maintain normal operation when immersed in the cooling liquid.
[0005] Due to the ever-expanding computing power, ChatGPT or high-end AI servers need to have at least 700W of heat dissipation capacity to be sufficient. NVIDIA's A100 or H100 AI servers are usually equipped with 4 to 8 GPUs, each of which generates an additional 300 to 700W of heat energy, and the heat power consumption of the entire AI server is estimated to exceed 3,000W. Since conventional air-cooled heat dissipation cannot provide such efficient heat dissipation, the introduction of "liquid cooling" technology has become a new trend to solve heat consumption through heat dissipation. Liquid cooling heat dissipation introduces a liquid cooling system into the server, and using the property that liquid is more thermally conductive than gas, the high-density heat energy generated by the heat-generating components is quickly transferred to the cooling liquid by the liquid cooling plate, and the cooling liquid after absorbing heat is guided to an outdoor cooling tower or heat dissipation module, and the heat energy is further dissipated into the atmosphere, achieving the effect of rapid temperature reduction and reduced energy consumption. The open-type liquid cooling heat dissipation module, which is currently common in the industry, is an efficient cooling method that combines liquid cooling heat dissipation and air cooling heat dissipation in a server cabinet. This open-type liquid cooling heat dissipation module includes a liquid cooling plate module (Cold Plate), a cooling liquid distribution unit (CDU), and a cooling water manifold, and the cooling liquid passes through a radiator and a back door of a fan or a heat exchanger to lower the temperature. When the open-type liquid cooling heat dissipation module is in operation, the cooling liquid is pumped out by the cooling liquid distribution unit and flows through the cooling water manifold into the liquid cooling plate that is in close contact with the chip or processor. At this time, heat from the chip or processor is transferred by the liquid cooling plate and absorbed by the cooling liquid, and the cooling liquid after absorbing heat flows out from the heat pipe manifold at the other end of the liquid cooling plate. Next, the cooling liquid after absorbing heat is sent to the back door of the cabinet and is cooled by forced heat dissipation flowing through the fan back door. The cooling liquid after cooling returns to the cooling liquid distribution unit and is pumped out to the liquid cooling plate again.
[0006] Due to the miniaturization and high integration of AI computing chips, it is expected that the heat density of the chips will increase significantly, and it is becoming an important trend to move heat dissipation solutions closer to the core heat source such as the chip. Depending on the scale of application, liquid cooling and heat dissipation modules can be divided into machine room level of large data centers, server cabinet level, and chip-level liquid cooling and heat dissipation modules for future AI computers. The liquid cooling and heat dissipation modules required for AI computers are smaller in scale than the machine room level and cabinet level, and the heat dissipation efficiency needs to be fully managed in an environment where external ice machines and air conditioners are not turned on, which can reduce the power usage effectiveness (PUE) of the entire heat dissipation system.
[0007] A liquid cooling plate module, which is commonly seen in liquid cooling modules, covers the heat dissipation structure of a radiator with a liquid cooling cover, and the liquid cooling cover is fixed to a radiator to form a cavity. The liquid cooling cover has a liquid supply port and a liquid drain port, and the cooling liquid enters the cavity formed by fixing the liquid cooling cover and the radiator from the liquid supply port, flows through the heat dissipation structure, flows out from the liquid drain port, and flows through a pipe to an external heat dissipation system (for example, a method of running the pipe to a fin-type heat sink and further adding forced cooling by a fan), and dissipates the heat carried by the cooling liquid. However, when the metal base plate of the heat sink of the liquid cooling plate module contacts a heat-generating component, the lateral heat conduction speed of the metal base plate is limited by the cross-sectional area, and the large amount of heat rapidly generated by the heat-generating component cannot be efficiently conducted to the metal base plate of the entire heat sink, and the large amount of heat is concentrated in a local area where the heat sink and the heat-generating component contact, and even if liquid cooling heat dissipation is added, the heat dissipation capacity that can be improved is significantly limited. In addition, the external heat dissipation system utilizes heat exchange between the duct and the fin-type heat sink, and also uses a fan for air-cooling heat dissipation, so the direct heat dissipation area of the cooling liquid is limited and the heat dissipation efficiency may be insufficient.
[0008] Considering the above problems, the inventor of the present invention has designed a liquid-cooled heat dissipation system including a liquid-cooled vapor chamber, in which the metal base plate of the heat sink of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation module is designed as a vapor chamber, the heat dissipation structure of the heat sink is integrated with the heat dissipation surface of the vapor chamber by integral molding, and the heat dissipation structure is covered in a cavity with a liquid-cooled cover to form the base plate as a vapor chamber. The liquid-cooled cover has a first liquid supply port and a first liquid drain port, and the cooling liquid flows in and out of these heat dissipation structures in the liquid-cooled cover, improving the heat exchange efficiency. The vapor chamber has the characteristics of high thermal conductivity, strong lateral thermal uniformity, and high thermal diffusion coefficient, and its heat diffusion ability is significantly superior to that of ordinary metal base plates (e.g., copper-based base plates, aluminum alloy base plates, etc.). When the heat-generating electronic components attached to the heat-absorbing surface of the vapor chamber generate a large amount of heat, the heat is rapidly transferred to the vapor chamber, and the working fluid in the internal space of the vapor chamber rapidly absorbs the heat and rapidly evaporates to form steam. The heat-dissipating surface of the vapor chamber is connected to the heat sink and the liquid-cooled cover, so that when the steam rises rapidly and contacts the cold metal surface of the heat sink, the steam condenses back into the working fluid, and this cycle of liquid-gas-liquid phase change quickly absorbs and releases a large amount of heat. Compared with the use of a traditional metal base plate, the vapor chamber can quickly diffuse a large amount of concentrated heat source to a larger area of the heat sink, and obtain a larger effective heat dissipation area for faster heat dissipation.
[0009] Vapor chambers utilize the phase change of the working fluid in a sealed working chamber to rapidly dissipate heat, and are currently the most efficient heat dissipation method. They achieve the goal of rapid heat dissipation by utilizing the large amount of latent heat of vaporization that accompanies the rapid evaporation and condensation process of the working fluid in a near-vacuum chamber. The thermal conductivity of vapor chambers is 10,000W / (m 21.5 ℃ or more, which is dozens of times the thermal conductivity efficiency of conventional air convection or liquid convection. When the above-mentioned heat sink is integrated into the heat dissipation surface of the vapor chamber through one-piece molding, it can quickly and effectively transfer and disperse a large amount of heat from inside the vapor chamber to the heat dissipation structure, and greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0010] In addition, the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system of the present invention further includes a liquid-cooled heat sink. The liquid-cooled heat sink is a plate-like structure having a hollow cavity, and the inner surface of the hollow cavity is provided with many protruding heat dissipation columns. The frame of the liquid-cooled heat sink is provided with at least one second liquid supply port and at least one second liquid drain port, and the second liquid supply port and the second liquid drain port are respectively connected to the first liquid drain port and the first liquid supply port of the liquid-cooled cover of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber through a liquid cooling pipe, so that the liquid cooling is repeatedly circulated between the liquid-cooled vapor chamber and the liquid-cooled heat sink. After the liquid cooling absorbs heat in the liquid cooling cover of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber, the liquid cooling is transported and enters the cavity of the liquid-cooled heat sink, and flows between the heat dissipation columns in the cavity. Many heat dissipation columns can provide a large heat exchange area, and a fan installed outside the liquid-cooled heat sink can dissipate heat by forcing air onto the external surface, quickly dispersing the cooling liquid after absorbing the heat onto the liquid-cooled heat sink, allowing the heat to be dissipated quickly.

The outer cover side wall 2202 is provided with at least one second liquid supply port 2204 and at least one second liquid drain port 2205, and the second liquid supply port 2204 and the second liquid drain port 2205 are connected to the second receiving space 2203. Here, when the heat-dissipating outer cover 220 and the heat-dissipating base plate 210 are closed together, the outer cover side wall 2202 of the heat-dissipating outer cover 220 is inserted into the outer cover joint groove 2106 of the heat-dissipating base plate 210 and welded, and the plurality of second heat-dissipating columns 2103 are disposed in the second receiving space 2203 to form the liquid-cooled heat sink 200. In this embodiment, the number of the second liquid supply ports 2204 and the second liquid drain ports 2205 can be set according to the requirements of actual applications, and may be, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In addition, by increasing the number of the second liquid supply ports 2204 and the second liquid drain ports 2205, not only the number of connected liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100 increases, but also the flow of the cooling liquid 700 entering and exiting the liquid-cooled heat sink 200 through the branch pipe increases, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0038] Referring again to FIG. 1, in the first embodiment of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 of the present invention, the first liquid refrigerant pipe 300 has one end connected to the first liquid supply port 1104 of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100, and the other end connected to the second liquid drain port 2205 of the liquid-cooled heat sink 200. The second liquid refrigerant pipe 400 has one end connected to the first liquid drain port 1105 of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100, and the other end connected to the second liquid supply port 2204 of the liquid-cooled heat sink 200. The liquid refrigerant circulator 500 is installed between the first liquid refrigerant pipe 300 or the second liquid refrigerant pipe 400, and pumps the liquid refrigerant 700 to circulate the liquid refrigerant 700 between the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 and the liquid-cooled heat sink 200 to form the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 of the present invention.
[0039] In the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 described in the first embodiment of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 of the present invention, the heat-absorbing outer surface 1301 of the metal bottom cover plate 130 is a flat surface for contacting a heat-generating electronic component.
[0040] Second embodiment Please refer to Figures 6A and 6B. Figures 6A and 6B are a structural explanatory diagram and a structural cross-sectional view of the metal bottom cover plate 131 of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 described in the second embodiment of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 of the present invention. As shown in the figures, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the heat-absorbing outer surface 1311 of the metal bottom cover plate 131 further has at least one recessed space 1313 to accommodate at least one heat-generating electronic component, and the recessed space 1313 is recessed from the heat-absorbing outer surface 1311 toward the evaporation inner surface 1312, but does not protrude to the corresponding evaporation inner surface 1312. In this embodiment, the thickness of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 from the heat-dissipating outer surface 1201 (not including the first heat-dissipating column 1203) to the heat-absorbing outer surface 1311 does not exceed 6 mm. In another embodiment, the thickness is 5 mm or less, 4 mm or less, or 3.5 mm or less. In this embodiment, the shape and volume of the recessed space 1313 installed on the heat-absorbing outer surface 1311 of the metal bottom cover plate 131 are determined by the shape and volume of the heat-generating electronic component to be attached. The design of the recessed space 1313 has the following advantages: (1) The heat-generating electronic component can be accommodated in the recessed space 1313 (or partially accommodated in the recessed space), which allows for closer contact between the heat-generating electronic component and the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 and a larger contact area (contact area in the lateral direction), thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. (2) The heat-generating electronic component is accommodated in the recessed space 1313, which reduces the overall thickness during application.
[0041] Third embodiment Please refer to FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B. FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are a structural explanatory diagram and a structural cross-sectional view of the metal bottom cover plate 132 of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 described in the third embodiment of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 of the present invention. As shown in the figures, the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the heat-absorbing outer surface 1321 of the metal bottom cover plate 132 further has a plurality of recessed spaces 1323 to accommodate a plurality of heat-generating electronic components, and the recessed spaces 1323 are recessed from the heat-absorbing outer surface 1321 toward the evaporation inner surface 1322, but do not protrude to the corresponding evaporation inner surface 1322. In this embodiment, the thickness of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 from the heat-dissipating outer surface 1201 (not including the first heat-dissipating column 1203) to the heat-absorbing outer surface 1321 does not exceed 6 mm. In another embodiment, the thickness is 5 mm or less, 4 mm or less, or 3.5 mm or less. To explain further, as shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the purpose of providing a plurality of recessed spaces 1323 on the heat absorbing outer surface 1321 of the metal bottom cover plate 132 is to apply to small chip package (chiplet) products that are becoming mainstream in the market. A small chip package integrates several to tens of small chips with the same or different functions, sizes, and volumes into one using packaging technology. However, when several to tens of chips are packaged in the same narrow space, the connection lines between them are very short, the operating frequency is higher, the generated heat and heat density are higher, and the heat dissipation problem is even greater. The plurality of recessed spaces 1323 designed in the metal bottom cover plate of this embodiment can be designed according to the overall size, outer shape, and overall volume of the small chips after packaging, so that the small chips can be more closely attached and accommodated in the plurality of recessed spaces 1323. The rapid lateral heat diffusion and high heat dissipation efficiency of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100, combined with the high heat exchange efficiency of the first heat dissipation column 1203 and the cooling liquid 700, can more effectively solve the heat dissipation problem of small chips. Based on the above, in this embodiment, these multiple recessed spaces 1323 can have the same or different shapes and volumes to accommodate multiple heat-generating electronic components of the same or different shapes and volumes at the same time, as shown in FIG. 7A.
[0042] Fourth embodiment Please refer to Figures 8A and 8B. Figures 8A and 8B are a structural explanatory diagram and a structural cross-sectional view of the metal bottom cover plate 133 of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 described in the fourth embodiment of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 of the present invention. As shown in the figures, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the heat absorbing outer surface 1331 of the metal bottom cover plate 133 further has at least one screw hole 1333 for fixing at least one heat-generating electronic component, and the screw hole 1333 is recessed from the heat absorbing outer surface 1331 toward the evaporation inner surface 1332 and protrudes from the evaporation inner surface 1332 but does not penetrate, forming a screw hole protrusion 1334, and the height of the screw hole protrusion 1334 is equal to or less than the height of the column-shaped support structure 1306. To further explain, in order to bring the chip into closer contact with the metal bottom cover plate 133 of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100, in this embodiment, at least one screw hole 1333 is installed in the heat-absorbing outer surface 1331 of the metal bottom cover plate 133, and the chip (heat-generating electronic component) can be fixed to the heat-absorbing outer surface 1331. The chip can be bonded to the heat-absorbing outer surface 1331 without using thermal paste, thereby avoiding a heterogeneous interface with low thermal conductivity and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0043] Fifth embodiment Please refer to Figures 9A and 9B. Figure 9 is a structural explanatory diagram and a structural cross-sectional view of the metal bottom cover plate 134 of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 described in the fifth embodiment of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the heat-absorbing outer surface 1341 of the metal bottom cover plate 134 further has a plurality of screw holes 1343 for locking a plurality of heat-generating electronic components, where each of the plurality of screw holes 1343 is recessed from the heat-absorbing outer surface 1341 to the evaporation inner surface 1342, protrudes from the evaporation inner surface 1342 but does not penetrate through it, forming a plurality of screw hole protrusions 1344, and the height of each of the plurality of screw hole protrusions 1344 is equal to or less than the height of the column-shaped support structure 1306. The number of the plurality of screw holes 1343 can be set according to the actual application situation, and may be, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12. As shown in FIG. 9A, in this embodiment, the number of the screw holes 1343 is ten, and ten heat-generating electronic components can be fixed.
[0044] Sixth embodiment 13 is a structural diagram of another embodiment of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 20 of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 20 includes four liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100, a liquid-cooled heat dissipation plate 201 consisting of four second liquid supply ports 2214 and four second liquid drain ports 2215, a first liquid coolant duct 301 which is a branch pipe having four branches, a second liquid coolant duct 401 which is a branch pipe having four branches, a liquid coolant circulator 500 (or a liquid coolant distribution unit, CDU), four fans 600, a base plate outer surface 2102 of a heat dissipation base plate 210 fixed to the liquid-cooled heat dissipation plate 201 through a fan screw hole 2107, and a liquid coolant 700. The first liquid supply ports 1104 of the four liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100 are connected to the four second liquid drain ports 2215 of the liquid-cooled heat sink 200 through a first liquid drain pipe 301 of a branch pipe having four branches, and the first liquid drain ports 1105 of the four liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100 are connected to the four second liquid supply ports 2214 of the liquid-cooled heat sink 200 through a second liquid drain pipe 401 of a branch pipe having four branches. In this embodiment, the liquid drain circulator 500 is installed to connect between the second liquid drain port 2215 of the liquid-cooled heat sink 201 and the first liquid supply port 1104 of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100, that is, inserted between the first liquid drain pipes 301. The refrigerant 700 is pumped through the refrigerant circulator 500 (or coolant distribution unit, CDU) and flows into the first accommodating space 1103 of each liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 to exchange heat. The refrigerant 700 that absorbs heat flows out of the first accommodating space 1103 and flows into the second accommodating space 2203 of the liquid-cooled heat sink 201 through the second refrigerant pipe 401. While the refrigerant 700 flows into the liquid-cooled heat sink 200, it is forced to cool by the multiple fans 600, thereby cooling the liquid-cooled heat sink 201 and the refrigerant 700 to lower their temperatures.
[0045] To further explain, the structures or sizes of the liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100 used in the embodiment of FIG. 13 may be the same or different, for example, the liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100 may have any one selected from the metal lower cover plates (130, 131, 132, 133, 134) as in the first to fifth embodiments. Each liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 may be simultaneously applied to the same or different chipsets or heat-generating electronic components, and the amount of heat absorbed by each liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 may be different, so the flow rate of the cooling liquid 700 required for cooling may also be different. The cooling liquid circulator 500 (CDU) adjusts the flow rate of the cooling liquid 700 flowing into each liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 according to the actual temperature situation of each liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100, and can more accurately control the temperature of the chipset or heat-generating electronic components. The number of liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100 used in this embodiment is two, three or four, the first liquid coolant pipe 301 and the second liquid coolant pipe 401 are branch pipes having a branch pipe corresponding to the number of liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100, and the liquid coolant circulator 500 is a liquid coolant distribution unit (CDU).
[0046] In addition, depending on the application of the branch pipe, the number of liquid-cooled vapor chambers 100 and the number of second liquid supply ports 2214 and second liquid drain ports 2215 of the liquid-cooled heat sink 201 may be the same or different.
[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 (20), the materials of the liquid-cooled cover 110, the metal upper cover plate 120, the metal lower cover plate (130, 131, 132, 133, 134), the heat dissipation base plate 210, and the heat dissipation outer covers 220, 221 are copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, or magnesium alloy.
[0048] In one optional embodiment of the present invention, the working fluid 160 is water.
[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the liquid-cooled heat sink 201, the outer cover side wall 2202 is provided with a plurality of second liquid supply ports 2214 and a plurality of second liquid drain ports 2215.
[0050] In the above embodiment, the number of second liquid supply ports 2214 and second liquid drain ports 2215 provided in the outer cover side wall 2202 of the liquid-cooled heat sink 200 is two, three, or four, respectively.
[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the liquid-cooled heat sink 200 has a plate-like structure with a length of 250 to 600 mm, a width of 150 to 450 mm, and a thickness of 10 to 30 mm.
[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cooling liquid 700 in the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 (20) is water. In another embodiment, the cooling liquid 700 in the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 (20) is water, especially softened water, to avoid the formation of scale after long-term use. In another embodiment, in the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 (20), the cooling liquid may be added with a cryoprotectant (e.g., ethylene glycol) according to the actual application situation, to prevent the cooling liquid from freezing and becoming unable to function when the environmental temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius.
[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, in the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 (20), the cooling liquid 700 is water, and the volume is about 1 to 6 liters. In addition, in the liquid-cooled heat dissipation system 10 (20) described in the present invention, the size and volume of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation plate 200, the number and size of the second liquid supply port 2214 and the second liquid drain port 2215, the number of the flow guide plate grooves 2104 and the long sheet-shaped flow guide plate 2105, etc. can be designed according to the actual application situation according to the amount of heat generated by the heat-generating electronic components that need to be cooled, and the required volume of the cooling liquid 700 also varies accordingly. The larger the volume of the cooling liquid 700 used, the more heat can be absorbed.
[0054] It should be noted that the structures of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 and the liquid-cooled heat sink 200 disclosed in any of the above embodiments of the liquid-cooled heat sink 10 and 20 of the present invention are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the liquid-cooled heat sink 10 and 20 of the present invention. After considering each embodiment of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can set the number, position, size, shape and structure of the liquid-cooled vapor chamber 100 and the liquid-cooled heat sink 200 according to the actual application situation to achieve the expected heat dissipation effect.
[0055] The above embodiments are merely for illustrative purposes, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent modifications or variations based on the liquid-cooled heat dissipation systems 10 and 20 of the above embodiments should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0056] In addition, 2024 is called the first year of AI computers (AIPC), and most of the industry believes that generative AI will need to run on both commercial and consumer computers, which is also an important turning point for generative AI from the "cloud" to the "edge". The enormous "computing power" of AI chip modules leads to increasing power consumption and generates large amounts of heat, which requires more efficient heat dissipation modules to help cool them down. With the constant upgrade of AI chip modules, the requirements for heat dissipation modules are also increasing.
[0057] AI computers can be regarded as an upgraded version of traditional computers, but most of the CPUs or GPUs of current computers use air-cooled radiators or are configured in the form of AI servers, and the heat dissipation efficiency is enhanced by cabinets with liquid-cooled heat dissipation modules. The liquid-cooled heat dissipation system provided by the present invention is a liquid-cooled heat dissipation system with high heat dissipation efficiency that can be applied to standalone AI computers, and has the following advantages compared with air-cooled heat dissipation: (1) High heat dissipation efficiency: Liquid coolants can quickly absorb and transport large amounts of heat, and have better cooling performance than traditional air-cooled heat dissipation. (2) Low noise: Compared with air-cooled heat dissipation systems equipped with high-speed cooling fans, liquid-cooled heat dissipation is generally quieter and more efficient at dissipating heat, helping to create a low-noise working environment. (3) Reduce energy consumption: Liquid cooling can reduce the temperature of operating system equipment more effectively than air cooling, allowing the equipment to operate at a lower temperature and improving energy efficiency.
[0058] It is found that the present invention breaks through the conventional technology and indeed achieves the desired effect. A person skilled in the art would not easily have realized its inventive step and practicality. It is believed to meet the requirements of the patent claim. In accordance with the law, we have filed this application. In order to promote creativity, we request that your office approve this patent application.
