Abstract
Description
[0001] HEAT TRANSFER FLUID DATA CENTER COOLING SYSTEM
[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The invention is related to the data center cooling system with heat transfer fluid, which quickly cools the indoor air by transferring the excess heat in the environment to the heat transfer fluid that can change phase, in order to protect the data in data centers and ensure their security.
[0004] The invention especially; By transferring the heat generated as a result of the operation of IT equipment to the air in the environment, after the air is taken from the hot air inlet and filtered, the heat is quickly transferred from the hot air to the heat transfer fluid that can change phase in the heat transfer pipe, which ensures rapid cooling of the air, and the cooled air is transferred through the air duct with the help of a fan, it is related to the data center cooling system with heat transfer fluid, which contains a phase-changing heat transfer fluid containing between 10-200 nanometers colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiC , CuO, TiCh, Si L, boron carbide, szaybelite, boron solid particles which provides cooling of the environment by being transmitted to the environment.
[0005] KNOWN STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
[0006] Nowadays, with the development of technology, data storage and security issues come to the fore. With this; the importance of data centers, where required systems such as server computers, backup units and telecommunication systems are operated in a mixed manner, is also increasing.
[0007] In order for data centers to work efficiently, the servers that are equipped to meet their needs must be provided, and the cooling and electrical systems must be well analyzed and designed so that the servers can work properly.
[0008] Millions of commands transmitted through servers in data centers cause the equipment and ambient temperature to increase. Information technology equipment affected by excessive heat may malfunction, causing a risk of fire and other safety issues. With these risks, situations such as equipment repair or replacement arise, creating additional costs. Cooling systems are important to prevent equipment from being affected by the heating that occurs in data centers. In terms of data security, cooling systems are created to ensure that the ambient temperature is at a level suitable for the data center and its equipment.
[0009] In the current technique, in data center cooling systems, the mixing of cold and hot air is prevented. Accordingly, the system works by removing excess heat from the air and replacing it with cooler air. The hot air flow in the environment created by the heating of the equipment is transmitted to the cooling system. The hot air, which gives its heat to the cooling coil, cools down and is blown back into the environment with the help of fans, thus the cooling process is carried out.
[0010] But there are negative reasons such as slow conduction of heat, high energy spent on cooling the cell, and high operating cost due to this condition.
[0011] As a result, the need for a new economical, convenient, heat transfer fluid data center cooling system and the lack of existing solutions for solving the above-mentioned problems existing in the current technique made it necessary to make a development in the relevant technical field.
[0012] THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION
[0013] The present invention is related to a data center cooling system with heat transfer fluid, which was developed to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and bring new advantages to the relevant technical field, which quickly cools the indoor air by transferring the heat released as a result of the operation of the equipment in the data center to the heat transfer fluid that can change phase.
[0014] The most important purpose of the invention is to include a heat transfer system with a heat transfer fluid that can change phase. The heat transfer fluid, which can change phase, transfers heat from the liquid phase to the vapor phase. After transmitting the heat, it condenses and returns. Evaporation is accelerated with the heat received, thanks to solid particles between 10 and 200 nanometers such as colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiOs, CuO, TiCh, SiL, szaybelite, boron carbide and boron contained in the phase-change heat transfer fluid. Since these nanoparticles have a catalyst effect, heat transfer is achieved quickly. After heat transfer, these solid particles do not clump and do not stick to each other during condensation. Thanks to these nanoparticles, heat pipes can be prepared without vacuuming. There is no need for sintering or opening grooves or pockets on the inner surfaces of heat pipes. Thus, it can work vertically and horizontally without shape restrictions.
[0015] Another purpose of the invention is that the heat transfer fluid contained in it does not have any flammable, explosive, allergenic, carcinogenic or pathogenic effects, so it does not adversely affect electronic equipment, the environment and human health.
[0016] Another purpose of the invention is that, as a result of our R&D studies, the phase-changing fluid has a heat conduction coefficient of 16098 W / mK. Therefore, the invention reacts very quickly and provides rapid heat transfer. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention will be more clearly understood thanks to the figures given below and the detailed description written with references to these figures, and therefore the evaluation should be made by taking these figures and the detailed explanation into consideration.

[0029] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0030] In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the data center cooling system with heat transfer fluid are explained only for a better understanding of the subject and in a way that does not create any limiting effect.
[0031] Figure 1 shows the data center cooling system with heat transfer fluid that is the subject of the invention; it consists of the heat transfer pipe (11), filter (12), hot air inlet (13), cold air outlet (14), fan (15), air duct (20), IT equipment (30) and waste heat recovery unit (40) located in the cooling cabin (10).
[0032] The heat released by the operation of IT (data center) equipment (30) heats the air in the environment. Hot air enters the cooling cabin (10) from the hot air inlet (13) and passes through the filter (12). Harmful substances such as dust etc. in the hot air remain in the filter (12), allowing cleaner air to circulate in the system. The heat of the hot air cleaned in the filter (12) is transmitted to the heat transfer pipe (11) containing a heat transfer fluid that can change phase. The hot air, which transfers its heat to the heat transfer pipe (11), cools and is transmitted to the fan (15) through the cooling cabinet (10). The cooled air carried to the fan (15) is conveyed back to the environment through the air duct (20) from the cold air outlet (14) and the environment is cooled. The heat energy transferred to the heat transfer fluid that can change phase quickly transfers its heat to the waste heat recovery unit (40) through the heat transfer pipe (11), and the heat transfer fluid that can change phase cools down and returns to the system.
[0033] In the invention, there are solid particles between 10-200 nanometers such as colemanite, borax, AI2O3, SiO3, CuO, TiO2, boron carbide, szaybelite, boron in the heat transfer fluid that can change phase, and evaporation is accelerated thanks to these particles and the heat received from the hot air inlet (13). Since these nanoparticles have a catalyst effect, heat transfer is achieved quickly. During the condensation that occurs in the waste heat recovery unit (40) after heat transfer, these solid particles do not clump (clump) and do not stick to each other. Additionally, thanks to these nanoparticles, heat pipes can be prepared without vacuuming. There is no need for sintering or grooving or pocketing on the inner surfaces of heat pipes. Thus, it can work vertically and horizontally without shape restrictions.
[0034] Alternatively, in the invention, the heat transfer fluid capable of changing phase may contain the above-mentioned solid particles between 10-50 or 50-100 or 100-150 nanometers.
[0035] The scope of protection of this application is determined in the claims section and cannot be limited to what is strictly exemplified above. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can demonstrate the innovation set forth in the invention by using similar structures and / or apply this structure to other areas with similar purposes used in the relevant technique. Therefore, it is obvious that such structures will lack the criteria of innovation and especially surpassing the known state of the technique.
