Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If conventional heat dissipation methods are used, then the system can operate, but the heat dissipation effect is insufficient due to increasing power consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes phase transition of working fluid from liquid to gas state through atomization and vaporization processes. The atomizer converts liquid working fluid into fine droplets that rapidly vaporize upon contacting the heat source, absorbing large amounts of heat in the process. This phase transition mechanism enables highly efficient heat dissipation that can handle increasing power consumption of servers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a vacuum environment within the housing to remove air and other gases. This vacuum atmosphere enhances the heat dissipation efficiency by eliminating convection and forced conduction pathways, forcing the system to rely on direct evaporation and conduction from the atomized working fluid. The vacuum environment also prevents oxidation and contamination of the working fluid.
2Temperature
If more heat dissipation capacity is added, then the heat dissipation effect improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions into a unified vacuum-based heat dissipation system. The vacuum pump simultaneously creates the vacuum environment and facilitates the phase transition process. The atomizer combines liquid delivery and vaporization functions in one component. This merging of functions achieves high heat dissipation capacity without proportionally increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the working fluid by transitioning it from liquid to gas phase through controlled atomization. By adjusting parameters such as vacuum degree, atomization pressure, and working fluid composition, the system optimizes heat dissipation capacity without adding complex mechanical structures. The parameter-based control allows flexible adjustment of heat dissipation performance.
