Description

Online pluggable cabinet-level spray liquid cooling system and control method
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the field of refrigeration, in particular to an online pluggable cabinet-level spray liquid cooling system and a control method.
Background
With the rapid development of new generation information technology industries such as 5G, internet of things, cloud computing and the like, the data volume is rapidly increased, the global data stock of 2016 years reaches 16ZB according to IDC statistics, and the data stock is expected to be increased to more than 40ZB in 2020, 2025 or 160ZB. The proliferation of data volume has led to the accelerated development of the global cloud computing industry, with the data center IDC being an IT infrastructure, which benefits directly.
At present, the power consumption of the China data center is continuously increased by more than 12% in eight years, the total power consumption in 2020 is expected to reach 2962 hundred million kilowatts, the quantity of the China data center is more than 40 ten thousand according to the expression in the national green data center test point working scheme, the annual power consumption exceeds 1.5% of the total social power consumption, and most of the data center PUEs are still generally higher, so that the data center PUEs are reduced, and the method has great significance for energy conservation and consumption reduction in China.
At present, the main stream data center mainly uses a mechanical refrigeration mode to cool a data center machine room in a cold air heat exchange mode, the energy consumption is always high, and the traditional air cooling refrigeration mode can not meet the requirements along with the gradual increase of the power density of a single cabinet to 10KW or higher.
The liquid cooling heat dissipation mode is based on the principle that a refrigerant is directly or indirectly contacted with a server, heat of the server is taken away through heat exchange, the liquid cooling server and a heat dissipation system thereof can solve the problem of a high-density server of 20KW or more, the power consumption of a heat dissipation air conditioner of the server can be reduced to a level which cannot be achieved by a traditional air conditioning scheme, and the liquid cooling heat dissipation method is one of the best schemes for solving the problems of high density, energy conservation and consumption reduction of a data center in China.
Two main research directions of the existing liquid cooling server heat dissipation system are a cold plate type liquid cooling server and an immersed liquid cooling server. The immersed liquid cooling server scheme is that the server is directly immersed by using a refrigerant, and heat is taken away by circulating the refrigerant; the scheme of the cold plate liquid cooling server is that the back plate patch is contacted with the key heat dissipation point of the server by utilizing the form of the back plate patch, and heat is circularly taken away by a mode of indirect contact of a refrigerant. However, these liquid solutions have a great number of problems during the actual operation.
Most typically, the cold plate type liquid cooling system or other server-level liquid cooling systems not only need to deeply customize a server (reform the server, add a precise backboard and expensive self-sealing quick connectors), but also need a server manufacturer to completely change the form of the existing product, so that new server products are produced to match the existing refrigeration system, the applicability is poor, the number of movable connector points of the liquid cooling system is numerous (at least 2 per server), the on-line plugging risk is high, and serious leakage risks exist.
The system also needs a completely immersed server of the refrigerant, the consumption of the refrigerant is excessive, the primary investment cost CAPEX is abnormally high, a large amount of evaporation and dissipation phenomena of the refrigerant exist during operation and maintenance, the operation cost OPEX is very high, if frequent online plug operation is carried out, the operation cost OPEX is further increased, and the total cost TCO of the liquid cooling system is abnormally high and has no application value.
How to solve the problem of server adaptability related to the existing liquid cooling system, the problem of online plugging and unplugging without risk and low cost, and the problem of high TCO cost of total ownership become a problem to be solved.
It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only for enhancing understanding of the background of the present disclosure and thus may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
