[0001] Cross-reference of related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410696748.3, filed on May 31, 2024, entitled "Server Heat Dissipation Equipment, Control Method and Apparatus for Server Heat Dissipation", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of computers, and in particular to a server heat dissipation device, a method and apparatus for controlling server heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0004] Currently, in many scenarios, a large number of devices will generate massive amounts of data, and the processing of this massive amount of data has increasingly higher requirements for latency and security, posing a huge challenge to existing data centers.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, edge servers are currently deployed at the network edge, providing efficient and intelligent computing, storage, and network resources locally. This significantly alleviates the load on data centers and reduces data latency, and this deployment model is expected to see rapid growth in the future. However, edge servers are mostly deployed outdoors, and their structural design must meet extremely high waterproof and dustproof ratings (IP65 and above). Unlike traditional internally air-cooled servers, outdoor edge servers often employ an external heatsink combined with forced air cooling. The heat-generating chip conducts heat to the external heatsink through internal thermal protrusions, and the heat is then dissipated by an external fan. While this method effectively reduces chip temperature, the long heat conduction path results in high thermal resistance and low heat dissipation efficiency, often requiring a high-power fan to provide sufficient airflow. This undoubtedly contradicts the low overall power consumption requirement of edge servers.

The radiant cooling device allows heat to be dissipated from the second heat dissipation medium in the first radiant cooling pipe through heat radiation, while the electrical cooling device allows heat to be dissipated from the second heat dissipation medium in the first electrical cooling pipe through power consumption. Because the radiant cooling device participates in the process of dissipating heat from the second heat dissipation medium in the first electrical cooling pipe, power consumption is also reduced. This technical solution solves the problem of high power consumption in server cooling in related technologies, achieving the technical effect of reducing power consumption in server cooling.

[0093] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

The heat sink 16 is in contact with the server's components to be cooled. The controller 10 is configured to detect the ambient temperature of the server's current environment. When the ambient temperature is detected to be less than or equal to a first ambient temperature, the controller controls the heat sink pipe 16-1 to connect with the first radiant heat dissipation pipe 12-1 to form a first circulation pipe (as shown in Figure 1(a)). When the ambient temperature is detected to be greater than the first ambient temperature, the controller controls the heat sink pipe 16-1, the first radiant heat dissipation pipe 12-1, and the first electric heat dissipation pipe 14-1 to connect to form a second circulation pipe (as shown in Figure 1(b)).

Edge servers deploy computing nodes at the network edge, providing efficient and intelligent computing, storage, and network resources nearby, thereby greatly alleviating the load on data centers and reducing data latency. This deployment model will see rapid development in the future.

[0098] In some embodiments, in this embodiment, the radiative heat dissipation device 12 is configured to dissipate heat from the first or second heat dissipation medium in the first radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-1 through heat radiation.

As shown in Figure 3, the radiative heat sink 12-2 includes a heat dissipation medium cavity 12-2-1 and a radiative heat dissipation material 12-2-2. The radiative heat dissipation material 12-2-2 covers the heat dissipation medium cavity 12-2-1. The heat dissipation medium cavity 12-2-1 is configured to store a third heat dissipation medium. The thermal conductivity of the material of the heat dissipation medium cavity 12-2-1 is greater than that of a first thermal conductivity.

[0104] The radiative heat dissipation material 12-2-2 is configured to convert the heat of the third heat dissipation medium stored in the heat dissipation medium cavity 12-2-1 into energy of a preset wavelength and radiate it outward.

[0105] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation medium cavity 12-2-1 may be, but is not limited to, a radiation cooling sealed cavity, the radiation heat dissipation material 12-2-2 may be, but is not limited to, a surface radiation cooling material, and the third heat dissipation medium may be, but is not limited to, a liquid working fluid inside the radiation cooling sealed cavity.

[0106] In some embodiments, the preset band may be, but is not limited to, the 8-13 μm (micrometer) band, which is located in an atmospheric window and has excellent emissivity (>90%).

[0107] In some embodiments, the radiant heat sink 12-2 may be, but is not limited to, a radiant cooling module. The radiant cooling module mainly consists of a radiant cooling sealed cavity (equivalent to the aforementioned heat dissipation medium cavity 12-2-1), an internal liquid working fluid, and a surface radiant cooling material (equivalent to the aforementioned radiant heat dissipation material 12-2-2). The sealed cavity, in addition to serving as a container for the internal liquid working fluid, also acts as the top cover of the server's external rack, which helps to enhance the radiant cooling effect. To optimize heat transfer between the internal liquid working fluid and the cavity wall, the cavity material is made of aluminum alloy. The internal liquid working fluid mainly serves as a heat transfer medium between the radiant cooling module and the phase change energy storage module, transferring the "cold energy" from outer space obtained by radiant cooling to the phase change energy storage module for storage. To ensure normal flow of the working fluid even in low-temperature environments, ethylene glycol antifreeze can be used as the internal liquid working fluid. Surface radiation cooling materials are generally attached or coated onto the outer wall of a sealed cavity for direct radiative heat exchange with outer space. They have excellent reflectivity (>90%) in the solar radiation band (0.3–4.0 μm) and excellent emissivity (>90%) in the atmospheric window (8–13 μm). Common materials include coatable inorganic composite coatings or coatable polymer materials. Inorganic coatings are generally inorganic composite coatings such as alumina, silica, and silicon nitride, while polymer materials are generally high-molecular composite materials such as polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, ethyl cellulose, and cellulose acetate. This application does not specify any particular polymer material.

[0108] As an optional solution, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a phase change energy storage device according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 4, the phase change energy storage device 12-3 includes: a phase change energy storage material cavity 12-3-1, a first radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-1 and a second radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-4. The first radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-1 and the second radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-4 are deployed in the phase change energy storage material cavity 12-3-1. The phase change energy storage material cavity 12-3-1 is configured to store phase change energy storage material. The thermal conductivity of the phase change energy storage material cavity 12-3-1 to the outside is lower than the second thermal conductivity. The phase change energy storage material is filled outside the first radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-1 and the second radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-4.

[0109] The second radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-4 is configured to receive a third heat dissipation medium with a medium temperature lower than that of the first medium from the radiative heat sink 12-2.

[0110] In some embodiments, the phase change energy storage material cavity 12-3-1 may be, but is not limited to, a stainless steel cavity in a phase change energy storage module, the inner wall of which is covered with insulating foam. Alternatively, the phase change energy storage material cavity 12-3-1 may directly use a material with a thermal conductivity lower than the second thermal conductivity.

[0111] In some embodiments, the phase change energy storage module mainly consists of a stainless steel cavity (equivalent to the phase change energy storage material cavity 12-3-1 mentioned above), thermal insulation foam, phase change energy storage material, and a serpentine coil. The stainless steel cavity primarily serves as the container and structural support for the internal phase change energy storage material. The thermal insulation foam is attached to the inner wall of the cavity, effectively isolating the internal phase change material from the external environment. Phase change energy storage materials primarily utilize the characteristic of absorbing or releasing a large amount of latent heat during a physical phase change to achieve "cold storage" or "heat storage." Common types include gas-liquid, solid-gas, and solid-liquid. To prevent excessive pressure within the cavity after a phase change, this application may use granular inorganic solid-liquid phase change materials with a phase change temperature between 25 and 30°C. The serpentine coil mainly includes a radiant cooling side serpentine coil and a cold plate side serpentine coil. Both use liquid working fluid inside the coil to store the "cooling" obtained by the radiant cooling module and the heat generated by the server in phase change energy storage material. Heat exchange is formed through the phase change energy storage material. The working fluid temperature inside the former coil rises and returns to the radiant cooling sealed cavity, while the working fluid temperature inside the latter coil decreases and returns to the server cold plate, completing one cycle. The introduction of phase change energy storage material can greatly reduce the interference caused by drastic fluctuations in the external ambient temperature and maintain the stability of the liquid working fluid temperature inside the cold plate.

[0112] In some embodiments, FIG5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a phase change energy storage device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG5, a cold plate side serpentine coil and a radiation cooling side serpentine coil are deployed in the phase change energy storage device 12-3.

[0131] The third air conditioning condenser 14-2-9 is configured to use electrical energy to evaporate the refrigerant and cool the sixth power condenser 14-2-11.

[0132] In some embodiments, the third air-cooled radiator 14-2-8 and the third air-cooled radiator 14-2-9 can be used to cool the fifth power cooling pipe 14-2-10 and the sixth power cooling pipe 14-2-11, respectively. Then, the fifth power cooling pipe 14-2-10 and the sixth power cooling pipe 14-2-11 exchange heat with the first power cooling pipe 14-1.

[0133] In some embodiments, the power cooling device 14 may be, but is not limited to, a CDU (Cooling Distribution Unit) module. The CDU module mainly consists of a primary-side cooling pipeline, a secondary-side cooling pipeline, and a monitoring system. The inlet of the primary-side cooling pipeline is connected to the outlet of the phase change cooling energy storage module via a pipeline, and the outlet of the primary-side cooling pipeline is connected to the inlet of the cold plate module via a pipeline. The liquid working fluid, cooled by the phase change energy storage module, flows through the primary-side cooling pipeline and exchanges heat with the secondary-side pipeline, thus forming secondary cooling. The secondary-side cooling pipeline can be designed in two ways: a fan-cooled circulation pipeline and an air conditioning-cooled circulation pipeline. In the former, the liquid working fluid in the pipeline is mainly cooled by an outdoor fan blowing through the cooling coil, while in the latter, the liquid working fluid in the pipeline is mainly cooled by the evaporative cooling plate in the air conditioning unit. The CDU module's monitoring system primarily communicates with the microcontroller module to determine the operating mode of the secondary cooling pipeline and monitors and adjusts the temperature and flow parameters of the liquid working fluid in real time to ensure the server operates within the normal temperature range. Solenoid valves, flow pumps, and external circulation pipelines together form the cooling system's circulation path. Under the regulation of the microcontroller module and the CDU monitoring system, the solenoid valves and flow pumps control the switching and flow rates of different pipeline sections to switch between different cooling modes and maximize energy savings in the heat dissipation system. It is also worth noting that to prevent "cooling" leakage, exposed pipeline sections must be wrapped with insulation material (commonly insulation foam) to effectively isolate them from the external environment.

The component to be cooled may be, but is not limited to, a chip in a server. The bottom of the aluminum substrate forms thermal contact with the chip package shell through a thermal pad or thermal grease. The heat from the chip is transferred to the cold plate, causing the working fluid temperature inside its channels to rise. After flowing into the phase change energy storage module through the outlet of the cold plate to achieve cooling, it then flows back into the copper pipe channels through the inlet of the cold plate to complete one cooling cycle.

Solenoid valve 333 is connected to the second flow pump 888. The outlet 12-2-1-2 of the heat dissipation medium cavity 12-2-1 is connected to the second radiative inlet 12-4-2 of the second radiative heat dissipation pipe 12-4 through the fourth solenoid valve 444. The first radiative outlet 12-1-1 is also connected to the power inlet 14-1-1 of the first power heat dissipation pipe 14-1 through the fifth solenoid valve 555. The heat dissipation inlet 16-1-1 is also connected to the power outlet 14-1-2 of the first power heat dissipation pipe 14-1 through the sixth solenoid valve 666 and the first flow pump 777.

[0143] The controller 10 is configured to, when the ambient temperature is detected to be less than or equal to a first ambient temperature, control the first solenoid valve 111, the second solenoid valve 222, the third solenoid valve 333, and the fourth solenoid valve 444 to open, forming a first circulation pipe, and control the first flow pump 777 and the second flow pump 888 to operate; when the ambient temperature is detected to be greater than the first ambient temperature, control the first solenoid valve 111 to close, control the second solenoid valve 222, the third solenoid valve 333, the fourth solenoid valve 444, the fifth solenoid valve 555, and the sixth solenoid valve 666 to open, forming a second circulation pipe, and control the first flow pump 777, the second flow pump 888, and the power radiator 14-2 to operate.

At the same time, the microcontroller module also communicates with the monitoring system of the CDU module (equivalent to a power cooling device) to control the start and stop of the CDU module. When the microcontroller module detects that the ambient temperature is low, the "cooling power" acquired by the radiative cooling module can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the server, and the CDU module does not work at this time.

[0158] In some embodiments, FIG19 is a schematic diagram of the formation of a first circulation pipe and a second circulation pipe according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG19, after the microcontroller module (controller 10) is powered on, it first acquires the ambient temperature and judges the temperature value. If the ambient temperature value is detected to be lower than the first temperature value (equivalent to the first ambient temperature, which can be selected as 25°C), the microcontroller module will control the solenoid valves 111, 222, 333, and 444 to open, and the flow pumps 777 and 888 to start working and pump out a fixed flow rate according to the specified parameter signal. At this time, the server is powered on and started, the solenoid valves 555 and 666 are closed, and the CDU module does not work. During this cycle, the "cooling" obtained by the radiative cooling module is continuously stored in the phase change energy storage module through the liquid working fluid, and exchanges heat with the high-temperature working fluid flowing out from the server's cold plate. After the working fluid temperature drops, it flows back to the cold plate to complete the cycle. At this time, the "cooling" provided by the radiative cooling module can fully meet the server's heat dissipation requirements. If the monitored ambient temperature value is higher than the first temperature value but lower than the second temperature value (equivalent to the second ambient temperature, which can be selected as 30℃), the "cooling" provided by the radiative cooling module is slightly insufficient. The microcontroller module will communicate with the CDU module to make the latter start working. At this time, the solenoid valves 555 and 666 in Figure 16 will open, the electronic valve 111 will close, the CDU module will start the fan cooling cycle mode, the solenoid valve 7 in Figure 7 will open, and the flow pump 3 and the outdoor fan will start working. At this time, the liquid working fluid cooled by the phase change energy storage module flows through the primary cooling pipe and exchanges heat with the secondary pipe to form secondary cooling. The cooled working fluid flows back to the cold plate to complete the cycle. If the ambient temperature is detected to be higher than the second temperature value, indicating a harsh high-temperature environment, the microcontroller module will communicate with the CDU module to activate the air conditioning cooling mode. At this time, solenoid valves 555 and 666 in Figure 16 remain open, solenoid valve 111 in Figure 16 and solenoid valve 7 in Figure 7 are closed, and solenoid valves 8-10 in Figure 10 are open. Flow pump 3 stops working, and flow pump 4 starts working. The high-temperature working fluid on the secondary side cools down through heat exchange with the evaporator plate of the air conditioning module. Simultaneously, as the compressor of the air conditioning module starts working, the power consumption of the cooling system reaches its maximum. Simultaneously, after the latter two cooling modes are activated, the CDU monitoring module will monitor the highest temperature of the working fluid in the primary side pipeline in real time and adjust the flow rate inside the secondary side pipeline in real time according to this temperature value to adapt to changes in the ambient temperature.In addition, to prevent fluctuations in the external environment from causing repeated switching between the three cooling modes, the microcontroller module is configured with the following judgment logic: If the system is already operating in the first cooling mode, it must detect that the external ambient temperature is higher than the first temperature value for a period of 2 minutes before the system can switch to the second cooling mode; if the system is already operating in the second cooling mode, it must detect that the external ambient temperature is lower than the first temperature value for a period of 2 minutes before switching to the first cooling mode, or it must detect that the external ambient temperature is higher than the second temperature value for a period of 2 minutes before switching to the third cooling mode; if the system is already operating in the third cooling mode, it must detect that the external ambient temperature is lower than the second temperature value for a period of 2 minutes before switching to the second cooling mode.

[0180] It is worth noting that, in order to effectively solve the technical problem of excessive energy consumption in outdoor edge server air-cooled heat dissipation systems, this application proposes a server heat dissipation control method and server heat dissipation equipment. The server heat dissipation equipment introduces a radiative cooling module, a phase change energy storage module, a cold plate module, a microcontroller module, and a CDU (Cooling Distribution Unit) module into the liquid cooling system. When the outdoor temperature is low, the radiative cooling module radiates heat to outer space through the atmospheric window (8-13μm) via its surface radiative cooling material. The liquid working fluid inside the module cools down and is then transferred to the phase change energy storage module through pipes for storage, thus reducing the internal temperature of the phase change energy storage module. Simultaneously, the liquid working fluid inside the server cold plate module heats up after passing through the server's main heat-generating chip. The high-temperature working fluid flows into the phase change energy storage module through pipes to cool down and then returns to the server cold plate through a flow pump and pipes to form a cycle. When the outdoor temperature is high, the cooling capacity of the radiative cooling is insufficient to support the server's heat dissipation needs. In this case, the server cold plate circulation loop closes, and the CDU module turns on and opens the circulation pipes to provide sufficient cooling capacity for the server. The switching of the above heat dissipation modes is all based on the monitoring system within the microcontroller module and the CDU module. Both control the opening and closing of different modules and circulation pipes by monitoring the ambient temperature and the temperature of the working fluid inside the pipes in real time. Based on the above design, this application can provide a safe and reliable cooling system for the outdoor deployment of edge servers, and can effectively utilize the "coldness" of outer space to meet the server's heat dissipation needs. Multiple heat dissipation modes greatly reduce the energy consumption of the server's heat dissipation system, thereby achieving the goal of energy saving.

[0181] This application proposes a method for controlling server heat dissipation. By introducing a radiative cooling module, a phase change energy storage module, a cold plate module, a microcontroller module, and a CDU module into the cooling system of an edge server, it provides a new approach for energy-saving deployment of edge servers outdoors. During operation, the radiative cooling module radiates heat to outer space through an atmospheric window (8-13 μm) via its surface radiative cooling material. The liquid working fluid inside the module cools down and is stored in the phase change energy storage module through pipes, where it exchanges heat with the high-temperature working fluid from the cold plate. The cooled liquid working fluid returns to the server's cold plate through a flow pump and pipes to form a cycle. If the ambient temperature is too high, the microcontroller module triggers the CDU module to start working to provide greater cooling capacity and switches between different cooling modes at different temperatures. The entire liquid cooling system is simple in design and has more efficient heat dissipation performance. It introduces the "coldness" of outer space into the cooling system, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of the heat dissipation system in the overall power consumption. At the same time, the introduction of the phase change energy storage module can also greatly reduce the fluctuations caused by drastic changes in ambient temperature and maintain the stability of the liquid working fluid temperature in the cold plate, so as to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the edge server outdoors.

[0182] This application proposes a server heat dissipation control method, providing a new approach for energy-efficient outdoor deployment of edge servers. The system (server cooling equipment) utilizes a radiative cooling module to radiate heat to outer space through an atmospheric window (8-13 μm) via a surface radiative cooling material. This "cooling" energy is stored in a phase change energy storage module via a liquid working fluid in pipes. The high-temperature working fluid from the cold plate exchanges heat with this "cooling" energy in the phase change energy storage module. The cooled liquid working fluid returns to the server cold plate via a flow pump and pipes, forming a cycle. This system innovatively combines radiative cooling technology with the server's liquid cooling system, significantly reducing the energy consumption required for the server's heat dissipation system. Simultaneously, the CDU module of this patent provides two cooling modes with greater "cooling" capacity, enabling wide-temperature deployment of edge servers outdoors. This segmented temperature control strategy also greatly saves energy consumption in the server's heat dissipation system. The entire liquid cooling system is simple in design and has high heat dissipation performance. The introduction of the phase change energy storage module can also greatly reduce the fluctuations caused by drastic changes in ambient temperature and maintain the stability of the liquid working fluid temperature inside the cold plate, so as to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the edge server outdoors.
