Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional liquid cooling systems suffer from reduced heat absorption capability in subsequent heat absorption devices due to preheating of the working fluid, leading to ineffective heat removal from heat-producing elements.
Innovation Solution
The system alternately connects heat dissipation and absorption devices in series, ensuring the working fluid is dissipated by one device before entering the next, maintaining a consistent low temperature and equal heat absorption capability across all devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If heat absorption devices are connected in series with heat dissipation devices, then the system structure is simplified, but the heat absorption capability of subsequent devices is reduced due to preheating of the working fluid
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the heat absorption and heat dissipation functions into distinct modules (heat absorption devices 13a, 13b and heat dissipation devices 11a, 11b) that can be independently connected. This segmentation allows the working fluid to be selectively cooled by specific heat dissipation devices before entering each heat absorption device, preventing preheating issues while maintaining modular system structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary cooling action by configuring the working fluid flow path to pass through heat dissipation devices (11a, 11b) before entering heat absorption devices (13a, 13b). This preliminary cooling ensures the working fluid is at optimal temperature for heat absorption, preventing the preheating problem that would reduce heat absorption capability in subsequent devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the working fluid flows sequentially through multiple heat absorption devices, then the system can cool multiple heat-producing elements, but the temperature of the working fluid increases before entering subsequent devices, reducing heat absorption efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic cooling action by arranging the flow path to alternately pass through heat absorption devices and heat dissipation devices. The working fluid periodically absorbs heat from heat-producing elements in devices 13a, 13b and then periodically releases heat in devices 11a, 11b, maintaining consistent temperature cycles that preserve heat absorption efficiency across multiple devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The heat dissipation devices (11a, 11b) act as intermediary components between heat absorption devices in the fluid path. These intermediaries cool the working fluid between heat absorption stages, enabling the system to maintain high heat absorption efficiency across multiple devices while cooling multiple heat-producing elements simultaneously.
