1Duration of action of stationary object
If a liquid-cooling heat dissipation device is designed with sufficient liquid storage capacity, then the service life is extended, but the device volume becomes enormous
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid storage room is nested within the liquid supplying channel structure, utilizing the internal space of the channel for liquid storage. This allows the device to maintain sufficient liquid capacity without increasing the overall device volume, thereby extending service life while keeping the device compact.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid storage room communicates with the liquid supplying channel through a liquid draining hole positioned at specific locations, creating a multi-level liquid circulation path. This dimensional arrangement allows efficient liquid distribution and storage without requiring excessive volume, thus extending service life while maintaining compact dimensions.
2Ease of manufacture
If the liquid circulation system is simplified to reduce device complexity, then manufacturing becomes easier, but liquid supply becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid supplying channel is segmented into multiple sections with a liquid storage room positioned at a specific segment. This segmentation allows the liquid to be distributed through multiple pathways (liquid input channel, liquid output channel) ensuring sufficient liquid supply to the heat exchanging chamber while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that is easy to manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid storage room acts as an intermediary reservoir between the liquid input and output channels. It ensures continuous liquid supply to the heat exchanging chamber by providing a buffer storage capacity, thereby maintaining sufficient liquid flow without requiring a complex circulation system.
