Description

Combined data center and heat dissipation method thereof

The invention relates to a combined data center and a heat dissipation method thereof, which are applied to a data center by modularization of a computer room, standardization and air conditioning system heat dissipation technology, which can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the combined data center and reduce the overall energy consumption of the equipment room.

At present, the existing container-based data center is mainly a closed space, and the computer cabinet is placed in a closed container room, and the heat exchanger is used to reduce the temperature inside the machine room. In other words, the air is limited to flow inside the sealed machine room. When the air inside the equipment room is heated by the computer cabinet, it needs to be cooled by the heat exchanger, thereby continuously circulating to adjust the working environment of the control data center. It can be seen that if the conventional technology wants to stably control the working environment of the container type data center, the heat exchanger must be continuously turned on, which will cause the power to be continuously consumed.

Since the electronic components in the server cabinet generate a large amount of heat during operation, in order to discharge the heat from the server cabinet in time to ensure the normal operation of the server cabinet, the industry usually opens air inlets and air outlets on the cabinet. After the fan draws in cold air from the air inlet and exchanges heat with the server cabinet, heat is discharged from the air outlet. In order to prevent dust from entering the cabinet, an air filter is usually installed in the air inlet. After a period of use, a large amount of dust gathers in the air. On the dust-proof net, manually remove the dust-proof net and wipe off the dust on it to prevent the air filter from being blocked and affecting the ventilation and heat dissipation. However, this method of artificially erasing dust is costly and inefficient.

In view of the shortcomings derived from the above-mentioned conventional methods, the inventor of the present invention has improved and innovated, and after years of painstaking research, finally successfully developed and completed the combined data center and its heat dissipation method.
