Description

Server water-cooling heat dissipation system with redundant phase change heat transfer element and control method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of water-cooling heat dissipation, in particular to a server water-cooling heat dissipation system with redundant phase change heat transfer elements and a control method.
Background
With the rapid development of internet technology and communication technology, especially the arrival of 5G technology, data centers are more and more widely used. The core electronic components (such as the north bridge chip, the south bridge chip and the memory bank) of the server in the data center generate a large amount of heat when operating efficiently, if the heat cannot be dissipated in time, the performance and operation of the server are inevitably affected, the possibility of data damage or loss is greatly increased, and even the whole data center may be paralyzed. Therefore, how to quickly remove the heat generated by the data center is particularly important.
At present, a traditional data center machine room generally adopts a method for installing an air conditioner to dissipate heat, and although the method can effectively solve the heat dissipation problem of the data center, the air conditioner must be continuously turned on throughout the year, so that the consumed electric quantity is very large. According to statistics, the traditional data center adopts an air conditioner heat dissipation method, the electric quantity consumed by the air conditioner can reach 40% -50% of the electric quantity consumed by the whole machine room at most, and more seriously, the electric quantity consumed by the air conditioner is not directly acted on key electronic components directly heated in a server, but is mostly wasted in the machine room environment. For such problems, researchers have proposed using a water-cooled heat pipe heat dissipation method to dissipate heat from key heat-generating chips of the server. Although the method can realize direct heat dissipation of key components of the server, the method brings additional problems, namely when the water-cooled heat pipe adopted at present dissipates heat, a water-cooled pipeline can be blocked due to water quality or water scale in the long-term circulating flow process, more seriously, the heat pipe directly contacts the chip to dissipate heat and does not adopt a redundant design or a backup design, once the heat pipe module fails or breaks, the heat of the chip cannot be timely transferred to the water-cooled end of the heat pipe, and the heat of the chip rises instantly and even causes the failure of the whole server.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples and drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
Examples
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a server water-cooling heat dissipation system with redundant phase change heat transfer elements includes at least one phase change heat transfer unit and a water-cooling conveying unit, where the phase change heat transfer unit includes a fixing plate 1, an auxiliary phase change heat transfer element 2, an auxiliary cooling cavity 3, a main phase change heat transfer element 18, a main cooling cavity 17, a first normally closed switch valve 4A, second and third four- way joints 5B and 5C, first and second safety valves 6A and 6B, a water pipe 22, a parallel connection joint 16A, an alarm 20, and an electric wire 21.
The fixing plate fixes the auxiliary phase change heat transfer element and the main phase change heat transfer element on a heat source element for heat conduction, and the heat source element is a key electronic component mainly generating heat in the server, such as a north bridge chip, a south bridge chip, a memory bank and other electronic components with high heat generation.
The auxiliary phase change heat transfer element 2 is connected with the auxiliary cooling cavity 3, and the main phase change heat transfer element 18 is connected with the main cooling cavity 17. And a first normally closed switch valve 4A, a second four-way joint 5B, a first safety valve 6A and a water inlet parallel connection joint 16A are connected in series at the inlet of the auxiliary cooling cavity 3 through a water pipe. And a third four-way joint 5C and a second safety valve 6B are connected in series at the outlet of the auxiliary cooling cavity 3 through a water pipe, and the second safety valve 6B is communicated with a water outlet parallel joint 16B.
The entrance of the main cooling cavity 17 is connected with a second four-way joint 5B in series through a water pipe, and the second four-way joint 5B is connected with a water inlet parallel connection joint 16A. The outlet of the main cooling cavity 17 is connected with a third four-way joint 5C in series through a water pipe 22, and the third four-way joint is connected with a water outlet parallel connection head 16B.
The water-cooling conveying unit II comprises a first four-way joint 5A, an auxiliary pump 7, a main pump 15, a filter 14, a water inlet parallel connection head 16A, a water outlet parallel connection head 16B, an alarm 20, a water pipe 22, second and third normally closed switch valves 4B and 4C, a main water tank 8, a water inlet pump 9, a cold water tank 10, an intermediate pump 11, a hot water tank 12, a water outlet pump 13 and a third safety valve 6C;
the first four-way joint 5A, the main pump 15, the filter 14 and the main water tank 8 in the water-cooling conveying unit II are connected in series through water pipes. Similarly, the first four-way joint 5A, the auxiliary pump 7, the filter 14 and the main water tank 8 are connected in series through water pipes. The water inlet pump 9, the cold water tank 10, the intermediate pump 11, the hot water tank 12 and the water outlet pump 13 are connected in series through water pipes. The main water tank 8 is respectively connected with a water inlet pump 9 and a water outlet pump 13 through water pipes. The main water tank 8 is connected with a second normally closed switch valve 4B as a cooling water inlet, and the cold water tank 10 is connected with a third normally closed switch valve 4C as a hot water outlet. The alarm 20 is respectively connected with the fixing plate 1, the first normally closed switch valve 4A, the first safety valve 6A, the second safety valve 6B, the third safety valve 6C, the auxiliary pump 7 and the main pump 15 through electric wires 21, wherein the dotted line parts are the connection positions of the electric wires and the related sensors.
The first four-way joint 5A is connected with a water inlet parallel connection joint 16A.
The working process of the whole heat dissipation system is as follows:
first, the main water tank 8 and the cold water tank 10 are filled with cooling water and all sensors, all water pumps and associated electrical consumers are connected to the power supply, wherein the hot water tank 12 is left empty. Next, when the main pump 15 is not broken, the water pipe and the main temperature reduction chamber 17 are not clogged, the temperature of the fixing plate is below the set temperature T0, the water level in the main water tank 8 is above H2, and the water temperature in the main water tank 8 is below T1, the main pump 15 draws the cooling water from the main water tank 8, passes through the filter 14, flows through the first four-way joint 5A, the water inlet and connecting head 16A, and the second four-way joint 5B, and then enters the main temperature reduction chamber 17.
At this time, the main phase change heat transfer element 18 transfers the heat generated by the heat source 19 to the main cooling cavity 17, at this time, the cooling water in the main cooling cavity 17 takes away the heat, and then the heated hot water in the main cooling cavity 17 flows through the third four-way joint 5C and the water outlet parallel joint 16B and then flows back to the main water tank 8.
When the main pump 15 is out of service due to a malfunction, the sensors on the main pump 15 immediately transmit relevant signals to the auxiliary pump 7 and the alarm 20 so that the auxiliary pump 7 continues to supply water to the system while the relevant staff is alerted by the alarm 20.
When any section of the main section of the water pipe 22 is blocked, the flow rate sensors on the two ends of the water pipe immediately transmit related signals to the first safety valve 6A or the second safety valve 6B or the third safety valve 6C and the alarm 20 on the opposite side, so that the first safety valve 6A or the second safety valve 6B or the third safety valve 6C is opened and related workers are warned at the same time.
When the temperature of the fixed plate 1 rises to T0 due to the increase of the thermal resistance in the main phase change heat transfer element 18 or other reasons, the temperature sensor on the fixed plate 1 immediately transmits relevant signals to the first normally closed switch valve 4A and the alarm 20, so that the cooling water in the second four-way joint 5B flows into the auxiliary cooling cavity 3 and simultaneously warns relevant workers. At this time, the auxiliary phase change heat transfer element 2 takes away the heat generated by the heat source 19 in time through the cooling water in the auxiliary cooling chamber 3, and the heated hot water flows through the third four-way joint 5C and the unblocked pipeline and then flows into the main water tank 8.
The first normally closed switch valve 4A and the alarm 20 are stopped only when the temperature of the fixed plate 1 falls below T0. Otherwise, the first normally closed on-off valve 4A is always opened and the alarm 20 is always warned.
When the temperature of the water in the main water tank 8 reaches T1, the temperature sensor on the main water tank 8 immediately sends a relevant signal to the water pump 13 and makes the water pump operate for a certain period of time and then automatically stops, so that part of the hot water in the main water tank 8 flows into the hot water tank 12. When the water level of the main water tank 8 drops to H2 and the water temperature of the cold water tank 10 is lower than T2 due to the operation of the water outlet pump 13, the water level sensor of the main water tank 8 and the temperature sensor of the cold water tank 10 immediately transmit related signals to the water inlet pump 9, so that the water inlet pump 9 pumps the cooling water in the cold water tank 10 into the main water tank 8, and similarly, the water inlet pump 9 also automatically stops after working for a period of time.
When the water level in the cold water tank 10 drops below H1 and the water level in the hot water tank 12 rises above the water level H0, the water level sensors on the cold water tank 10 and the hot water tank 12 simultaneously transmit related signals to the intermediate pump 11, so that the intermediate timing operation is automatically stopped after a period of time. The hot water in the hot water tank 12 flows into the cold water tank 10 and then is automatically cooled naturally to wait for the next operation of the water inlet pump 9 to enter the next circulation. When the water level of the main water tank 8 drops to H2 due to the operation of the outlet pump 13 and the water temperature of the cold water tank 10 is higher than T2, the water level sensor on the main water tank 8 and the temperature sensor on the cold water tank 10 immediately transmit related signals to the second normally closed switch valve 4B and the third normally closed switch valve 4C and open them at regular time, so that the cooling water flows into the main water tank 8 through the second normally closed switch valve 4B while the hot water in the cold water tank 10 is discharged through the third normally closed switch valve 4C. The water inlet parallel connection head 16A and the water outlet parallel connection head 16B are used for connecting a plurality of phase change heat transfer units I in parallel on a water-cooling conveying unit II and simultaneously emitting heat of a plurality of server chips in the data center.
That is to say: under the condition that the heat dissipation double-channel system normally operates, only the main cooling cavity and the main phase change heat transfer element dissipate heat of the heat source unit, and the auxiliary cooling cavity, the auxiliary phase change heat transfer element, the normally closed switch valve and the safety valve do not work. Only when the main phase change heat transfer element fails or the main cooling cavity is blocked and the like, the heat dissipation cannot be realized to cause the temperature on the fixed plate to rise, the temperature sensor on the fixed plate transmits related signals to the alarm and the normally closed switch valve, and the normally closed switch valve starts to act to guide cooling water into the auxiliary cooling cavity, so that the auxiliary phase change heat transfer element and the auxiliary cooling cavity start to perform the heat dissipation effect. Therefore, the double-path water-cooling heat dissipation protection of the heating chip can be achieved.
The safety valve is used when the opposite water pipe is blocked and the flow velocity sensors at the two ends of the opposite water pipe transmit related signals to the safety valve. Similarly, the related signals are transmitted to the alarm to remind related staff to carry out maintenance work on the related staff timely. Because the two-channel system composition structure of the phase change heat transfer unit is similar, namely the heat dissipation effect of the two-channel system is similar, maintenance workers do not need to maintain the two-channel system at once, so that the maintenance workers can reasonably arrange maintenance time, and the maintenance workers can not influence the normal work of the whole heat dissipation system when performing maintenance work, thereby achieving the purposes of reducing maintenance cost and simultaneously not influencing the continuous operation of a data center.
As a further improvement of the technical scheme, a first four-way joint, a main pump, a filter and a main water tank in the water-cooling conveying unit are connected in series through water pipes. Similarly, the first four-way joint, the auxiliary pump, the filter and the main water tank are connected in series through a water pipe. Under the condition that the cooling system normally runs, the main pump mainly supplies water to the whole cooling system, only when the main pump goes wrong and stops running and a sensor on the main pump transmits a related signal to the auxiliary pump, the auxiliary pump starts to supply water to the system, and meanwhile, the alarm also can give an alarm to remind related workers of timely maintenance. Similarly, the maintenance personnel do not influence the normal water supply of the auxiliary pump when maintaining the main pump, thereby ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the data center. As a further improvement of the technical scheme, a safety valve in the water-cooling conveying unit connects the main water tanks together through a water pipe. When the water pipe on the opposite side is blocked, the safety valve starts to act when the flow velocity sensors at the two ends of the water pipe on the opposite side transmit related signals to the safety valve. Similarly, the related signals can be transmitted to the alarm to remind related staff of carrying out maintenance work on the alarm in due time. As a further improvement of the technical scheme, a water inlet pump, a cold water tank, an intermediate pump, a hot water tank and a water outlet pump in the water-cooling conveying unit are connected in series through water pipes. The main water tank is respectively connected with a water inlet pump and a water outlet pump through water pipes. The main water tank is connected with a normally closed switch valve to serve as a cooling water inlet, and the cold water tank is connected with a normally closed switch valve to serve as a hot water outlet. The main water tank is provided with a temperature sensor and is connected with the water outlet pump through an electric wire, and the water outlet pump is controlled to be opened at fixed time through the temperature sensor. The water inlet pump is connected with the water inlet pump through a wire, and the water inlet pump and the normally closed switch valve are controlled to be opened at regular time through the water level sensor of the main water tank and the temperature sensor of the water inlet tank. The water level sensor is arranged in the cold water tank, the water level sensor is arranged in the hot water tank, and the intermediate pump is controlled to be opened at regular time through the water level sensor of the cold water tank and the water level sensor of the hot water tank. Therefore, the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation system on the data center can not be influenced by the seasonal area environment. As a further improvement of the technical scheme, the parallel connection joint can connect a large number of phase change heat transfer units to the same water-cooling conveying unit, so that the power consumption is greatly reduced, and the operation cost of the heat dissipation system is saved.
