Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If common precision air conditioners are used for cooling in the box-type data center, then the equipment can be installed in a container box, but the cooling capacity is insufficient to satisfy the cooling requirement when large power consumption occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the air conditioning equipment and water chilling equipment into a single integrated water chilling set installed in the container box. This merging of functions provides both air cooling and water cooling capabilities, ensuring sufficient cooling capacity for large power consumption while maintaining the ease of deployment advantage of container-based data centers.
Solution Approach 2:
The water chilling set serves multiple functions: it acts as both a traditional air conditioner for general cooling and a water chilling unit for high-power equipment cooling. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle varying cooling demands, from small to large power consumption scenarios, within a single deployed unit.
2Power
If additional cooling equipment is deployed to satisfy cooling requirements, then the cooling capacity is sufficient, but the box-type data center is incapable of being used upon arrival and fast deployment cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The water chilling set is pre-installed and integrated into the container box during manufacturing, with all cooling equipment (air conditioning units, water chilling units, water tanks, and piping) already in place. This preliminary action ensures that when the container box is delivered, it is ready for immediate use without requiring additional cooling equipment deployment, thus eliminating deployment time delays.
Solution Approach 2:
By merging all cooling functions into a single pre-integrated water chilling set, the system eliminates the need for separate additional cooling equipment deployment. The integrated design ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available immediately upon arrival, achieving both high cooling capacity and fast deployment simultaneously.
3Device complexity
If the container data center is designed with basic equipment only, then the structure is simple and deployment is fast, but the cooling requirement cannot be satisfied when large power consumption occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges air conditioning equipment and water chilling equipment into a single integrated water chilling set, maintaining relatively simple system architecture while achieving high cooling capacity. The integrated design reduces the number of separate components and simplifies installation, yet provides sufficient cooling for large power consumption through the combined cooling capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The water chilling set provides universal cooling coverage for both standard and high-power equipment through its dual functionality as an air conditioner and water chilling unit. This multi-functionality ensures adequate cooling capacity across different power consumption scenarios without requiring multiple separate systems, thus maintaining manageable system complexity.
