Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and better embodiment, the present invention is described in further detail:
Please refer to Fig. 1, heat abstractor of the present invention is arranged in a container data center 1, is placed with some server cabinets in this container data center 1.This heat abstractor be used for some server cabinets are dispelled the heat, and when part server rack work, part server rack standby time, this heat abstractor has higher radiating efficiency.Suppose in present embodiment, to comprise altogether two server cabinets 2 and 3, wherein first server rack 2 is in running order, second server rack 3 is in holding state, this heat abstractor, for carrying out dispelling the heat for two server cabinets 2 and 3 and have higher radiating efficiency, namely reaches good radiating effect with lower electric energy.
Please refer to Fig. 2, this heat abstractor comprises some temperature monitor, some regulating air outlet plates, some transmission devices, air-conditioning unit 16 and a control unit 18.In present embodiment, this temperature monitor comprises one first temperature monitor 10a, one second temperature monitor 10b, one first regulating air outlet plate 12a, one second regulating air outlet plate 12b, one first transmission device 15a and one second transmission device 15b.
The bottom of each server cabinet arranges a regulating air outlet plate, and each regulating air outlet plate correspondence is connected with a transmission device.The outlet size of this regulating air outlet plate adjusts by the transmission device of correspondence.This air-conditioning unit 16 is all connected with all regulating air outlet plates, to be sent in corresponding server cabinet by regulating air outlet plate by cold air.As shown in Figure 3, in present embodiment, each regulating air outlet plate 12a or 12b can comprise the first plate 122 and one second plate 125 that has some ventilation holes 120, this second plate 125 can be controlled by this transmission device (as stepper motor), so that the ventilation hole 120 on the first plate 122 is blocked or to be exposed, thus corresponding adjustment enters into the air quantity of server cabinet.
This temperature monitor is arranged in server cabinet, for detecting the temperature in server cabinet, and sends control unit 18 to by detecting the temperature value obtained.In present embodiment, when two server cabinets 2 and 3 are started working, the regulating air outlet plate of its correspondence is in identical state, the amount of the cold wind namely received in each server cabinet is identical, because now server cabinet 2 is in running order, and server cabinet 3 is in holding state, therefore the temperature value that the temperature monitor 10a being positioned at first server rack 2 detects is obviously higher than the temperature value that the temperature monitor 10b being positioned at second server rack 3 detects.
This control unit 18 sends corresponding control signal to transmission device 15a, 15b and air-conditioning unit 16 according to the temperature received, with the power of the size and air-conditioning unit 16 that adjust regulating air outlet mouth 12a and 12b, and then make to reach best radiating effect, namely realize the heat radiation to server cabinet with the power that air-conditioning unit 16 is minimum.
Please refer to Fig. 4, the better embodiment of heat dissipating method of the present invention comprises the following steps:
Step S1: first, second temperature monitor 10a and 10b detects temperature T1 in first server rack 2 and second server rack 3 and T2 respectively, and is sent to this control unit 18.In present embodiment, this first temperature monitor 10a is a main frame, it is in running order, this second temperature monitor 10b is one from machine, it is in holding state, and the regulating air outlet plate that now two server cabinets are corresponding is in identical state, the amount of the cold wind namely received in each server cabinet is identical, therefore the temperature T1 in first server rack 2 is obviously greater than and the temperature T2 of second server rack 3.
Step S2: this control unit 18 judges that the temperature value T1 of first server rack 2 is whether higher than temperature value T2 mono-set point (in present embodiment, this set point can be 5 degrees Celsius) of second server rack 3, and namely whether T1 is greater than (T2+5).If T1 > is T2+5, then perform step S3.If T1≤T2+5, then repeated execution of steps S2.
Step S3: this control unit 18 judges whether the temperature value T1 of first server rack 2 is greater than another set point (in present embodiment, this another set point can be 35 degrees Celsius), and namely whether T1 is greater than 35 degrees Celsius.If T1 > 35, then perform step S4.If T1≤35, then perform step S6.
Step S4: this control unit 18 judges whether the first regulating air outlet plate 12a opens whole ventilation holes 120.If do not open whole ventilation holes 120, then perform step S5.If opened whole ventilation holes 120, then perform step S7.In present embodiment, this first transmission device 15a is a stepper motor, it is for controlling the motion of the second plate 125, therefore this control unit 18 is by judging that the stroke of the first transmission device 15a judges whether the first regulating air outlet plate 12a opens whole ventilation holes 120.
Step S5: this control unit 18 sends control signal to control the quantity that the second transmission device 15b reduces the ventilation hole of the second regulating air outlet plate 12b, and increases the quantity of ventilation hole on the first regulating air outlet plate 12a.In present embodiment can 10% the percent opening of regulating air outlet plate be a unit, when namely each time the ventilation hole of regulating air outlet plate being adjusted, the corresponding increase by 10% of percent opening of this regulating air outlet plate or reduce 10%.Be back to step S3 afterwards, namely continue to judge whether the temperature value T1 of first server rack 2 is greater than 35 degrees Celsius.
Step S6: this control unit 18 sends control signal and reduces power, to save electric energy to control air-conditioning unit 16.Be back to step S3 afterwards.
Step S7: this control unit 18 sends control signal increases power to control air-conditioning unit 16, to provide larger wind-force.In present embodiment can 5% power be a unit, when namely each time the watt level of air-conditioning unit 16 being adjusted, the corresponding increase by 5% of power of this air-conditioning unit 16 or reduce 5%.Be back to step S3 afterwards.
Above-mentioned heat abstractor and heat dissipating method detect the temperature of server cabinet 2 and 3 by temperature monitor 10, and according to the size of temperature value correspondence adjustment regulating air outlet plate 12a and 12b and the power of air-conditioning unit 16, thus effectively can improve radiating efficiency.
