Description

A kind of method of utilizing fan back pressure to carry out the correction of server operating altitude high measure
technical field
The present invention relates to computer communication field, specifically utilize a kind of method of utilizing fan back pressure to carry out the correction of server operating altitude high measure, solve server and cause the problem that sea level elevation counting accuracy is lower because of fan work.
Background technology
Part software application starts to be applied to sea level elevation at present, and therefore part server user has proposed this aspect demand at present, and different altitude height atmospheric density changes in addition, affects server radiating situation.
In the place of Different Altitude, the density of air is not identical, and what brought thus is exactly the difference of required air quantity of dispelling the heat, the regional atmospheric density that height above sea level is higher is less, atmospheric pressure reduction increases air coefficient of viscosity, and air molecule number will reduce, thereby causes the heat transmitting to reduce.This is to get by molecular collision transferring energy because cross-ventilation conducts heat, and heat transference efficiency will reduce like this, and the heat dispersion of electronic unit becomes poorer.On the height of 5000M, coefficient of heat emission will decline 21% than the value on sea level, and the heat that heat loss through convection transmits also will decline 21%.On the height of 10000M, will reach 40%.The heat of heat loss through convection transmission reduces and will cause the increase of product temperature rise.Therefore the equipment cooling in high altitude localities reduces.The equipment of data center is in operation and all can produces heat, because the molecular amounts of regional area reduces, makes the temperature of heater element be not easy to dissipate, and causes equipment local temperature rise too high, if heat radiation will cause part of devices to burn out not in time.Height above sea level is higher, and air is thinner, and the intensity of insulating medium will decrease, and this will make equipment easily discharge, and causes common insulation distance to become not enough.Easily there is condensation in the area of height above sea level, reduces the creepage distance of electronic equipment.The insulating device performance of data center's electronic equipment also can decline.
In the higher place of height above sea level, thereby system is carried out cooling with regard to needing the fan of server to rev up to produce larger air quantity, avoid the overheated stability problem causing.Can suitably reduce rotating speed in the area of low height above sea level and save the consumption of electric energy, and extend the life-span of fan.
Need for above-mentioned reasons heat sink conception to carry out corresponding modify, above demand has all proposed the requirement that sea level elevation is measured, because atmospheric pressure is with changing with sea level elevation, therefore can utilize barometer to carry out the measurement of sea level elevation, in new Server development design, increase barometer element, but because server product is forced convertion heat radiation product, when the work of internal heat dissipating fan component, can cause the variation of air pressure, and then affect sea level elevation measure accuracy, need to revise the barometer value of reading, ensure the accuracy that sea level elevation is measured.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is using fan performance Changing Pattern and air pressure change rule as theory support point, reads by the high precision that fan work state-detection is calculated and sea level elevation is carried out in the correction of barometer reading, and concrete summary of the invention can be divided into following two aspects:
A) according to fan performance P-Q curve and server flow resistance curve calculation fan work point, according to Changing Pattern calculative determination fan work point place's back pressure and the rotation speed of the fan rule formula of air quantity of fan, blast and rotating speed, and then the change amount of test confirmation fan real work to atmospheric pressure, this numerical value is relevant to rotation speed of the fan.
B) server baseboard management controller obtains barometer reading and rotation speed of the fan information, according to fan back pressure, air pressure change amount and rotation speed of the fan relation formula are calculated to the actual change amount of air pressure of obtaining, it is the actual ambient pressure value in this place that barometer reading deducts this change numerical quantity, utilizes sea level elevation and atmospheric pressure relation formula to calculate and obtains actual sea level elevation.
Specific works step is as follows:
1) set for this platform;
2) testing server flow resistance curve and fan P-Q curve, calculates fan work point;
3) calculate fan back pressure and rotation speed of the fan Changing Pattern;
4) determine barometer reading variable quantity and rotation speed of the fan Changing Pattern;
5) read barometer reading and rotation speed of the fan;
6) calculate the actual change amount of air pressure;
7) barometer reading is repaiied card.
At platform high-end server mainboard, barometer assembly is installed, barometer is positioned at fan rear; Fan performance curve and server flow resistance point of crossing are fan real work point.
Server B MC reads barometer numerical value and rotation speed of the fan, calculates fan back pressure and real atmosphere pressure according to formula, calculates sea level elevation according to atmospheric pressure and height above sea level relational expression.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows:
Utilize fan P-Q curve and server flow resistance curve to determine fan work point, and according to Changing Pattern calculative determination fan work point place's back pressure and the rotation speed of the fan rule formula of air quantity of fan, blast and rotating speed, determine atmospheric pressure correction formula, reduced the complicacy of atmospheric pressure value correction.
Determine pressure correction according to rotation speed of the fan, and use barometer reading to deduct correction to determine extraneous actual pressure value, utilize height above sea level air pressure change rule to calculate and obtain sea level elevation, improve the degree of accuracy that height above sea level is measured, provide guidance more accurately to software application parameter and server radiating regulation and control.
