Abstract
Description
本發明係關於一種冷卻系統,尤其是一種浸沒式冷卻系統。The present invention relates to a cooling system, especially an 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,以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,該不導電液可以使用沸點較高的單相工作液,亦可以使用沸點較低、熱交換性能較佳的雙相工作液。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. The non-conductive liquid can use a single-phase working liquid with a higher boiling point or a lower boiling point. , Two-phase working fluid with better heat exchange performance.
習知使用雙相工作液的浸沒式冷卻系統,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雙相工作液,該冷凝器裝設於該冷卻槽內的上層而位於液態的雙相工作液上方。需要冷卻的電氣單元係沉浸於液態的雙相工作液中,由於雙相工作液的沸點較低,係可以在吸收該電氣單元的工作熱能後,使部分的雙相工作液轉變成氣態,以於液態的雙相工作液中形成氣泡並向上浮起,直至離開液態雙相工作液的表層後,在接觸該冷凝器時再度凝結回液態並向下滴落。The conventional immersion cooling system using dual-phase working fluid generally includes a cooling tank and a condenser, the lower layer in the cooling tank is filled with liquid dual-phase working fluid, and the condenser is installed in the cooling tank The upper layer is located above the liquid two-phase working fluid. The electrical unit that needs to be cooled is immersed in the liquid two-phase working fluid. Due to the low boiling point of the two-phase working fluid, part of the two-phase working fluid can be converted into a gaseous state after absorbing the working heat energy of the electrical unit. Bubbles are formed in the liquid two-phase working fluid and float upward until they leave the surface layer of the liquid two-phase working fluid, and then condense back to the liquid state and drop down when they contact the condenser.
雖然雙相工作液由於低溫沸騰效應,而可以提供較佳的熱交換性能,然而,雙相工作液的價格昂貴,全然以雙相工作液裝填該冷卻槽須耗費可觀的成本,造成了使用者的經濟負擔。Although the dual-phase working fluid can provide better heat exchange performance due to the low temperature boiling effect, however, the price of the dual-phase working fluid is expensive, and filling the cooling tank completely with the dual-phase working fluid requires considerable costs, causing users economic burden.
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.
為解決上述問題,本發明的目的是提供一種浸沒式冷卻系統,係可以降低雙相工作液的使用量者。In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an immersion cooling system, which can reduce the usage amount of the two-phase working fluid.

In this embodiment, the
綜上所述,本發明的浸沒式冷卻系統,係同時使用該第一工作液及該第二工作液來進行冷卻工作,而價格較高、熱交換性能較佳的該第一工作液係僅用於該循環管路中進行熱交換,因此,使用者可以大幅降低該第一工作液的使用量,進而節省可觀的成本。另外,該循環管路另可以結合該散熱片、該風扇及該幫浦等裝置,係進一步的提升該浸沒式冷卻系統的散熱效率。To sum up, the immersion cooling system of the present invention uses both the first working fluid and the second working fluid for cooling, and the first working fluid with higher price and better heat exchange performance is only It is used for heat exchange in the circulation pipeline, therefore, the user can greatly reduce the usage amount of the first working fluid, thereby saving considerable cost. In addition, the circulation pipeline can be combined with the cooling fin, the fan, the pump and other devices to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the immersion cooling system.
