Automatic phase change cooling system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a cooling system, in particular to an automatic phase change cooling system.
Background
In recent years, as the power dissipation density of microelectronic devices is increased due to the characteristics of high-density packaging, multiple functional applications and high-speed operation, more heat is generated, the heat flow density required to be removed is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency is also required to be increased.

Based on the above description of the structure of the cooling system, the operation principle of the system will now be described in detail, specifically referred to as:
the heat emitted by the heating element is absorbed by the heat absorber 1, the temperature in the heat absorption box 5 rises, the cooling liquid generates phase change gasification at the temperature of more than 40 ℃, the internal pressure of the cooling liquid gradually rises, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas pushes the valve rod 22 of the gas one-way valve 2 to enable the steel ball 296 to slide out of the first annular groove 291, the valve rod 22 continues to move to enable the steel ball 296 to be embedded into the second annular groove 292, and at the moment, the gas one-way valve 2 is opened, namely the gas inlet 25 is communicated with the gas outlet 28; high-temperature high-pressure gas enters the heat dissipation box 6 through the gas outlet 28, the pressure in the heat absorption box 5 is rapidly reduced, the pressure in the heat dissipation box 6 is rapidly increased, when the pressures in the heat absorption box 5 and the heat dissipation box 6 reach balance (are approximately equal), the valve rod 22 starts to move under the action of the restoring force of the first spring 24 and the pressure introduced by the central hole 26 of the screw plug 23, the steel ball 296 slides out of the second annular groove 292 and is embedded into the first annular groove 291, at the moment, the gas one-way valve 2 is closed, namely, the gas inlet 25 and the gas outlet 28 are separated by the valve rod 22. When the pressure in the heat absorption box 5 and the heat dissipation box 6 vibrates, the steel ball 296 can stably stay in the second annular groove 292 to prevent the gas check valve 2 from being in a semi-closed state, and meanwhile, the automatic infusion device 7 is started, because the pressure in the heat dissipation box 6 rises, the pressure in the first liquid cavity 13 and the pressure in the second liquid cavity 15 rise in the same ratio, because the gas cavity 14 is connected with the external atmospheric pressure and the area of the second cylinder 92 in the second liquid cavity 15 is far larger than the area of the first cylinder 91 in the first liquid cavity 13, the pressure borne by the second cylinder 92 is far larger than the pressure borne by the first cylinder 91, the piston 9 moves towards the first liquid cavity 13, a certain amount of cooling liquid in the first liquid cavity 13 is pressed into the heat absorption box through the first check valve 4, and the first check valve 4 is closed after liquid injection is finished. The radiator 3 is gradually cooled, the high-temperature gas is liquefied therewith, the pressure in the radiating box 6 is gradually reduced, when the difference between the pressure applied to the second cylinder 92 and the pressure applied to the first cylinder 91 is smaller than the restoring force of the return spring 10, the piston 9 is restored to the original position under the restoring force of the return spring 10, the cooling liquid in the second liquid chamber 15 enters the first liquid chamber 13 through the second liquid check valve 11, and thus, a cooling cycle is completed.
