Description
本發明係關於一種電子裝置的冷卻系統,尤其是一種將電子裝置的熱源沉浸於不導電液中以維持適當工作溫度的浸沒式冷卻系統及具有該浸沒式冷卻系統的電子裝置。The present invention relates to a cooling system for an electronic device, especially an immersion cooling system for immersing a heat source of the electronic device in a non-conductive liquid to maintain a proper working temperature, and an electronic device having the immersion cooling system.
浸沒式冷卻(Immersion cooling)是將電氣單元(例如伺服器、主機板、中央處理器、顯示卡或記憶體等)沉浸於不導電液中,使電氣單元工作時所產生的高溫熱能可直接由該不導電液吸收,使電氣單元能夠維持適當的工作溫度,以達到預期的工作效能與使用壽命。Immersion cooling is to immerse electrical units (such as servers, motherboards, central processing units, graphics cards or memory, etc.) It is directly absorbed by the non-conductive liquid, so that the electrical unit can maintain a proper working temperature to achieve the expected working efficiency and service life.
常見的習知浸沒式冷卻系統大致上包含有一冷卻槽及一冷凝器,該冷卻槽內的下層填裝有液態的不導電液,該冷凝器裝設於該冷卻槽內的上層而位於液態的不導電液上方。需要冷卻的電氣單元係沉浸於液態的不導電液中,由於不導電液的沸點較低,可以在吸收該電氣單元的工作熱能後,使部分的不導電液轉變成氣態,以於液態的不導電液中形成氣泡並向上浮起,直至離開液態不導電液的表層後,在接觸該冷凝器時再度凝結回液態並向下滴落。A common conventional immersion cooling system generally includes a cooling tank and a condenser, the lower layer in the cooling tank is filled with liquid non-conductive liquid, and the condenser is installed in the upper layer in the cooling tank and is located in the liquid state. Above the non-conductive liquid. The electrical unit that needs to be cooled is immersed in a liquid non-conductive liquid. Due to the low boiling point of the non-conductive liquid, part of the non-conductive liquid can be transformed into a gaseous state after absorbing the working heat energy of the electrical unit, so that the liquid non-conductive liquid can be converted into a gaseous state. Bubbles are formed in the conductive liquid and float upward until it leaves the surface layer of the liquid non-conductive liquid, and then condenses back to the liquid state and drips downward when it contacts the condenser.
然而,由於氣態的不導電液在凝結回液態前,容易從該冷卻槽或他處的縫隙洩漏至外界,導致該冷卻槽內的不導電液量逐漸減少,每隔一段時間就需要補充,不僅需要檢修的人力成本,且不導電液的價格昂貴,亦造成了使用者的經濟負擔。However, before the gaseous non-conductive liquid condenses back to the liquid state, it is easy to leak from the gap in the cooling tank or other places to the outside world, resulting in a gradual decrease in the amount of the non-conductive liquid in the cooling tank, which needs to be replenished at regular intervals, not only The labor cost of maintenance and the high price of the non-conductive liquid also cause the economic burden of the user.
有鑑於此,習知的浸沒式冷卻系統確實仍有加以改善之必要。In view of this, the conventional immersion cooling system does still need to be improved.

詳言之,該循環冷卻模組6還可以具有一驅動源62及一散熱單元63,該管件組61連通該驅動源62,以由該驅動源62驅動該管件組61中的流體流動;該管件組61連接該散熱單元63,該管件組61位於該腔室C中的部位形成一吸熱部611,該散熱單元63與該管件組61的連接處較佳遠離該吸熱部611。據此,該管件組61中的流體可以在流經該吸熱部611時,吸收該保護液L2的熱能,並於流經該散熱單元63時冷卻降溫,並於降溫後再次被導向該吸熱部611,如此不斷循環,使該保護液L2能維持低溫。Specifically, the circulating
其中,該驅動源62可例如為葉輪或泵,且該驅動源62可以如第4圖所示設在該腔室C中,或如第5圖所示設在該密封槽1外。該散熱單元63則可以為氣冷式或液冷式的散熱器,本發明均不加以限制。The driving
請參照第6圖所示,本實施例的電子裝置7可以具有一機殼71及數個電氣單元E,該數個電氣單元E及前述各實施例的浸沒式冷卻系統可以位於該機殼71中。Referring to FIG. 6 , the
詳言之,該電子裝置7可例如為工業電腦(Industrial Personal Computer,簡稱IPC),該數個電氣單元E可例如為電源供應器、硬碟、風扇、主機板、中央處理器、記憶體及顯示卡等,其中會在運作時產生高溫的電氣單元E,如主機板、中央處理器、記憶體及顯示卡等,其中的至少一電氣單元E可以具有一熱源H,且該熱源H可以被安排設置於密封槽1的腔室C內,並沉浸於工作層2中;而其他不太會在運作時產生高溫的電氣單元E,則可以安排設置於該密封槽1外。其中,該工作層2由至少一不導電液L1所形成,該保護層3由至少一保護液L2所形成,該保護液L2的密度低於該不導電液L1的密度,且該保護液L2的沸點高於該不導電液L1的沸點。據此,該工作層2中的液態不導電液L1可以吸收該熱源H所產生的熱能並轉換成氣態,形成氣泡而上升進入該保護層3,於該保護層3中冷凝回液態,再下沉回到該工作層2中,達到降低該不導電液L1流失量的效果。Specifically, the
值得一提的是,本實施例的保護層3也可以如前述第二實施例由二種以上不同密度的保護液L2所形成,以更進一步地提升前述降低不導電液L1流失量的效果;或者,也可以如前述第一實施例在該保護層3設一擾動器5(標示於第2圖),或如前述第三實施例具有一循環冷卻模組6(標示於第4圖),以提升將氣態不導電液L1冷凝回液態的效率。此外,在其他實施例中,該密封槽1可選擇設於該電子裝置7的機殼71外,而需設於該腔室C內中的電氣單元E自然也位於該機殼71外,此為本領域中具有通常知識者可以理解,故本發明的電子裝置7不以第6圖所示的配置關係為限。It is worth mentioning that the
綜上所述,本發明的浸沒式冷卻系統及具有該浸沒式冷卻系統的電子裝置,其工作層中的液態不導電液可以在吸收熱能後轉換成氣態,並形成氣泡而上升進入保護層,使氣態的不導電液可以在液態環境中凝結回液態,再下沉回到該工作層中,從而能夠有效降低氣態不導電液的流失量,使該密封槽內的不導電液量不易減少,具有大幅降低補充不導電液的費用與人力成本等功效。To sum up, in the immersion cooling system of the present invention and the electronic device having the immersion cooling system, the liquid non-conductive liquid in the working layer can be converted into a gaseous state after absorbing heat energy, and form bubbles and rise into the protective layer, The gaseous non-conductive liquid can be condensed back to the liquid state in the liquid environment, and then sink back into the working layer, so that the loss of the gaseous non-conductive liquid can be effectively reduced, so that the amount of the non-conductive liquid in the sealing groove is not easy to reduce. It has the effect of greatly reducing the cost and labor cost of replenishing non-conductive liquid.
