Background
How to effectively and rapidly dissipate the heat inside the high-heat-density server is always a concern of the industry, and along with the perfect technical development of the chip cold plate and the enhanced heat exchange of the cooling liquid, the liquid cooling becomes a new development trend.
Liquid cooling means that air is replaced by liquid, and heat generated when devices such as a CPU, a memory bank, a chip set, an expansion card and the like run is taken away. Liquid cooling can be divided into water cooling and other media cooling according to the heat transfer medium, and other media that can be used include mineral oil, electronic fluorinated liquid, and the like. According to the cooling principle, the liquid cooling can be divided into two heat dissipation modes of cold plate type liquid cooling (indirect cooling) and immersed type liquid cooling (direct cooling).
The immersion liquid cooling is realized by arranging the server unit in a bracket of a case, filling insulating and heat-conducting engineering liquid in the case, directly contacting all hardware in the server unit with the engineering liquid, automatically evaporating when the hardware absorbs heat to reach a liquid saturation temperature (40-60 ℃), and taking heat out by using liquid vaporization latent heat. The machine is internally provided with a condensation copper pipe, which can condense the vaporized engineering liquid into liquid, thus realizing self-circulation to dissipate heat.
Because the server is in a state of working for a long time, the case can not be opened generally, and maintainers are difficult to directly obtain the internal condition of the case, and need to open for maintenance every time, which brings inconvenience to the maintainers in work. And the vaporized engineering liquid inside after being opened can be diffused outwards, which causes the waste of the engineering liquid.
