Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional liquid cooling water separators for servers are vertically arranged, complicating the mounting process and making it inconvenient to connect horizontally arranged blade servers directly, thus increasing workload and safety hazards.

Innovation Solution

A transversely arranged liquid cooling water separator with quick-connect ports and pipes, allowing direct connection to horizontally arranged devices, and featuring a transverse layout with quick-connect male and female connectors, pipe clamps, and mounting brackets for simplified assembly and reduced leakage hazards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the liquid cooling water separator is vertically arranged, then the heat dissipation function is maintained, but the mounting process becomes complicated and the connection to horizontally arranged blade servers requires additional connecting pipes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting convenienceVSAvoidmounting process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the conventional vertical arrangement of the liquid cooling water separator to a horizontal arrangement. This inversion allows the separator to be directly connected to horizontally arranged blade servers without requiring additional vertical connecting pipes, thereby simplifying the mounting process and improving ease of operation while maintaining the heat dissipation function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Ease of operation

If the liquid cooling water separator is vertically arranged, then the heat dissipation function is maintained, but additional connecting pipes are required to connect horizontally arranged blade servers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection convenienceVSAvoidwater leakage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the conventional vertical arrangement to a horizontal arrangement, enabling direct connection between the separator and horizontally arranged blade servers. This eliminates the need for additional connecting pipes, thereby reducing potential water leakage points and improving system reliability while maintaining connection convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Productivity

If the liquid cooling water separator is vertically arranged, then the heat dissipation function is maintained, but the mounting workload increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting efficiencyVSAvoidmounting steps
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the conventional vertical arrangement to a horizontal arrangement that matches the orientation of blade servers. This alignment eliminates the need for complex mounting steps and additional connecting pipes, thereby reducing mounting workload and improving mounting efficiency while maintaining the heat dissipation function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
