Liquid-cooled server inspection equipment

Abstract

This application discloses a testing device for a liquid-cooled server, including a liquid reservoir, a heating loop assembly, and a cooling loop assembly. The heating loop assembly includes a heating element and liquid piping. The liquid reservoir and the liquid cooling piping of the liquid-cooled server are interconnected via the liquid piping to form a loop, allowing the liquid reservoir to supply heated liquid medium to the liquid cooling piping. The cooling loop assembly includes cooling piping and a heat sink. The cooling piping and the liquid reservoir form a loop, allowing the liquid medium to circulate between the cooling piping and the liquid reservoir. The heat sink cools the cooling piping to lower the temperature of the liquid medium. The heat sink continuously dissipates heat from the cooling piping to lower the temperature of the liquid medium in the liquid reservoir to a safe temperature range, preventing burns to workers from direct discharge of heated liquid medium.

Claims

1. A testing device for a liquid-cooled server, the improvement of which includes: Liquid storage components; A heating loop assembly includes a heating element and a liquid pipeline. The heating element is configured to heat the liquid medium within the liquid reservoir. The liquid reservoir and the liquid cooling pipeline of the liquid-cooled server are interconnected via the liquid pipeline to form a loop, allowing the liquid reservoir to provide the heated liquid medium to the liquid cooling pipeline, and the liquid medium to flow back from the liquid pipeline to the liquid reservoir. A cooling loop assembly includes a cooling pipeline and a heat dissipation component. The cooling pipeline and the liquid reservoir form a loop, allowing the liquid medium to circulate between the cooling pipeline and the liquid reservoir. The heat dissipation component is used to cool the cooling pipeline to reduce the temperature of the liquid medium.

2. The testing equipment as described in claim 1, wherein, The liquid pipeline is equipped with a first switching valve and a second switching valve. The first switching valve is configured to control the liquid medium to enter the liquid cooling pipeline from the liquid storage device, and the second switching valve is configured to control the liquid medium to flow back from the liquid cooling pipeline to the liquid storage device.

3. The testing equipment as described in claim 1, wherein, The cooling pipeline includes a pipeline body, which is continuously bent in three-dimensional space to form a stacked arrangement structure, thereby extending the flow path length of the liquid medium within the pipeline body.

4. The testing equipment as described in claim 3, wherein, The stacked arrangement structure includes spiral, planar disc, or planar folded structures.

5. The testing equipment as described in any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein, The heat sink includes a fan located on one side of the cooling pipe, the fan being used to blow air toward the cooling pipe to cool the liquid medium in the cooling pipe.

6. The testing equipment as described in any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein, The heat dissipation component includes a cooling tank containing coolant, and the cooling pipes are disposed in the cooling tank so that the coolant can cool the liquid medium in the cooling pipes.

7. The testing equipment as described in claim 3, wherein, The cooling pipeline has an inlet end and an outlet end, both of which are connected to the liquid storage device, forming a loop between the cooling pipeline and the liquid storage device. The cooling pipeline is equipped with a third switching valve and a power pump. The third switching valve is located between the pipeline body and the inlet end, and the power pump is located between the pipeline body and the outlet end. The third switching valve is configured to control the opening or closing of the cooling pipeline, and the power pump is configured to drive the flow of the liquid medium, causing the liquid medium in the liquid storage device to enter the cooling pipeline through the inlet end, and the cooled liquid medium to flow back to the liquid storage device through the outlet end.

8. The testing equipment as described in claim 7, wherein, The inlet end and the outlet end are spaced apart along the height direction of the liquid storage device, with the inlet end located below the outlet end to allow the liquid medium within the liquid storage device to mix.

9. The testing equipment as described in claim 1, wherein, The detection device also includes a drain pipe that connects to the bottom of the liquid storage container to drain the liquid medium inside the liquid storage container.

10. The testing equipment as described in claim 1, wherein, The liquid storage device is equipped with a pressure relief valve, which is configured to release the gas inside the liquid storage device.
