Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of mini-refrigerator system, particularly a kind ofly a plurality of die sites of computer are carried out the initiatively mini-refrigerator system of cooling based on mechanical refrigeration.
Background technology
In recent years, because the enhancing of microprocessor computing capability and the significantly reduction of price, computer application is quite general.It is to be undertaken by the master computer in the computer floor that is placed on isolation that previous calculation is handled, and personal computer has been equipped by now increasing office.Major issue of the thing followed is how the high heat that produces in these systems to be loose rapidly and effectively.Some computer chip manufacturers such as Intel, AMD etc. are integrated increasing transistor in chip constantly.For example, in the space big unlike stamp, Pentium 4 chips are an integrated forty-two million transistor.So high integration can produce a large amount of heats unavoidably, is equivalent to 50 watts of bulb caloric values in the time of many.Temperature is too high can damage meticulous assembly, makes loss of data, therefore, how heat in time and is effectively distributed and is perplexing engineers always.Yet human pursuit is endless, though the volume of computer diminishes gradually, performance, speed are in continuous lifting.Processing speed is fast more, element and device in the computer, and as CPU, graphics card and like, the heat of generation is just many more, surpasses certain limit, and operation even out of service may or lead to errors.
At present, for cooling off all kinds of heater elements or device, adopt conventional cooling device mostly.With CPU is example, and cooling fin component and cooling fan are installed on CPU.Operation by cooling fan makes around the airflow passes fin, with heat transferred computer ambient air.Computer also has a cooling fan that is fixed on the cabinet rear portion.The operation of this fan is drawn into the cabinet outside with the air in the cabinet.And meanwhile, surrounding air then enters in the cabinet by the slit, strengthens the heat radiation to some widgets.Some have appearred thereupon to air cooled improvement technology (Zhang Qianshan, patent: computer CPU radiator, application number: 01130819.2), further strengthen the fluid interchange that is forced to air.To cool off the heat dissipation capacity of scheme of heater members limited but this employing is forced to cross-ventilation, and cooling effectiveness is directly proportional with fan speed, thereby can cause obvious noise; In case and the micro element heat generation density is when too high, air cooling will be difficult to be competent at.Growth at full speed along with the computer chip integrated level, desired heat transfer intensity is also more and more higher, adopt water-cooled (Zhu Yuru, patent: cpu chip water-filled radiator, 99253842.4) or phase-change heat-exchange (Li Mujiong etc. the patent No.:, patent: be used for the system of cooling device in computer, application number: mode 99804075.4) puts on the agenda gradually, and corresponding product also sporadicly appears on the market.Adopt phase-change heat transfer to compare with single-phase heat transfer or heat conduction, required working medium is few, and the heat transfer amount is big, but thereby weight reduction.In this class heat dissipating method, most typical no more than hot pipe technique, it as the main mode of conducting heat, has characteristics such as heat-transfer capability is big, temperature control capability is strong, heat transfer efficiency height with phase transformation (evaporate with condense) heat exchange, draws attention in the application aspect the heat radiation of computer components and parts.But the preparation of heat pipe manufacture technology such as core material, working medium encapsulation, maintenance etc. are quite complicated, and this is very limited its application.Analyze according to the people in the industry, water-cooled may become a main flow.Yet, though water-cooled efficient is higher, be in operation because evaporation etc. can cause device aging, corrosion, to having relatively high expectations of water quality and flow duct, exist and reveal, reliability still has much room for improvement, and it is reported, adopts the chip of water-cooled to be easy to burn at present, reason is that water-cooling system is still unreliable, in case because some fault causes current to stop, the chip temperature that then loses cooling will rise rapidly, until burning.
On this basis, constantly there is new technology to be applied in the cooling of CPU in the computer industry.U.S.'s Sandia National Labs and Georgia Institute of Technology have developed jointly a kind of be intended to " intelligent heat pipe " that radar and portable field computer are cooled off.It is a simple flat copper coin, and very small sunk passage is arranged above, and the depth is about 7 microns---similar with people's fingerprint, these grooves are used to transport liquid methanol.When being fixed on together with chip, methyl alcohol flows to the higher zone of temperature under capillary driving, and heat can make the methyl alcohol vaporization, thereby takes away heat.Methanol gas can be directed into the lower place of temperature, just the side in addition of copper coin.Because temperature is lower, methyl alcohol can become liquid again, restarts another heat radiation process.A kind of wafer cooler is arranged according to another report, and it is by the synthetic integrated circuit of making of silicon, germanium and material with carbon element, utilize electronics to transmit the heat energy of superheat section and heat is dispersed into around environment in.The advantage of this technology is that it can directly take away heat from the heat generating spot of chip.The temperature of chip heat generating spot can reach 80 to 100 degrees centigrade.The thin slice cooler then can make temperature decline 7 or 8 degree of heat generating spot, even 30 to 40 degree.The researcher of Hewlett-Packard also considers to adopt a brand-new thinking, and promptly to the chip water spray, the moisture absorption heat changes steam into, effectively lowers the temperature for chip.
Existing C PU cooling technology can reduce the temperature of CPU to a certain extent, prevents chip overheating and phenomenons such as deadlock occur.Present trend is: as if the application of liquid cooling method is more and more important, and air-cooling has reached the limit.And along with the growth at full speed of computer chip integrated level, desired heat transfer intensity is also more and more higher, and these technology all can not satisfy this requirement.What more emerging technology had can address the above problem on agreed, but after the speed of CPU is brought up to a certain degree, will bring the significantly raising of computer parts caloric value, also not have to carry out these parts simultaneously at present the technology of cooling heat dissipation.Also just because of this, the invention provides a kind of can be simultaneously to cpu chip and other heat generating components refrigerating system of cooling off of parts such as graphics card, general supply and CD-ROM drive for example.Place integrated " micro refrigerator " in computer cabinet, similar domestic refrigerator is placed on several evaporator end respectively on the parts that need cooling, simultaneously they is cooled off.Utilize mechanical refrigeration to be easy to realize this goal, the mode of refrigeration can adopt both vapor compression, absorption refrigeration, steam-sprayed refrigeration, Compressed Gas refrigeration, air whirl refrigeration, stirling refrigeration, dimension to rein in multiple modes such as Mil (VM) refrigeration, GM refrigeration.In mechanical refrigeration, vapour compression refrigeration is most economical and most widely used refrigerating method (Su Qingrui and Li Huachun chief editor, Refrigeration ﹠ Air-Conditioning, Shenyang: Liaoning science tech publishing house, 1984), therefore can preferentially select this mode for use.For all heating powers of general personal computer also just about 100W, the about 20W of input power that utilizes vapour compression refrigeration to need, such vapour compression machine can be accomplished microminiaturization at present on the market.Therefore, simultaneously several different heat generating components are cooled off based on vapour compression refrigeration, can be good at reducing the heat of each parts, this has also just proposed brand-new " microcomputer special refrigerator " notion, refrigerating capacity that can be different according to the different selection of configuration of computer, even same computer also can add an evaporator more separately according to the parts that increase newly it is cooled off, thereby be fit to the constantly requirement of upgrading of computer.Also " miniature calculating special machine refrigerator " can be transformed into " computer central air-conditioning " for large-scale computer, satisfy the cooling requirement of mass computing.
As previously mentioned, utilize the technology of cooling cpu chips such as air-cooled, water-cooled and phase transformation to come out at present, but also do not utilize mini-refrigerator system particularly vapor compression refrigeration system the method that cpu chip carries out initiatively cooling is occurred, the system that can cool off a plurality of heat generating components does not simultaneously then more appear in the newspapers so far, so the present invention is expected to set up a kind of refrigerating system of cooling off a plurality of heat generating components abilities simultaneously that has of functional diversities, its compact conformation, easy to use is a kind of economy, better way refrigerating system.Be expected to become a kind of very wide device that aspect computer chip or high-power component heat radiation, is suitable for.
