Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional liquid-cooling systems are unable to efficiently match the increasing heat generated by advanced central processing units and graphic processing units, leading to potential damage from elevated internal temperatures.
Innovation Solution
A liquid cooling assembly with a base, cover, and connectors, where the cover has an inlet and outlet on opposite sides, forming an accommodation space with fins and baffles that enhance coolant flow and heat dissipation efficiency by optimizing coolant flow rates and heat exchange.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional liquid-cooling systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but the heat dissipation efficiency is insufficient to match increasing heat from advanced processors
Solution Approach 1:
The cover is divided into multiple sections with inlet and outlet ports positioned at opposite sides, creating segmented coolant flow paths that systematically traverse the entire base surface, maximizing heat dissipation coverage while maintaining manageable structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The coolant flow is transitioned from a single-direction or centralized pattern to a multi-dimensional flow pattern by positioning inlet and outlet at opposite sides, enabling coolant to traverse the base in extended paths that cover larger surface areas and improve thermal exchange efficiency
2Productivity
If the inlet and outlet are located at opposite sides of the cover, then the coolant flow path is extended and heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cover structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, guides coolant flow through its inlet-outlet configuration, and integrates with the base to form sealed accommodation spaces, thereby achieving enhanced heat dissipation without proportionally increasing complexity
