請參考圖1,其為習知機櫃式散熱系統的系統概念示意圖。習知的機櫃式散熱系統7包括複數個冷盤(cold plate)71、歧管裝置(manifold)72、冷卻液分佈系統(CDU,coolant distribution unit)75以及冰水主機(chiller)76,且歧管裝置72包括第一流體歧管77以及第二流體歧管78,其中,這些冷盤71分別用以與存放在機櫃(圖未示)的複數電子計算機設備9相搭配,例如每一冷盤71熱接觸於相對應之電子 計算機設備9的熱源,且每一冷盤71具有一冷盤入口711以及一冷盤出口712,又,第一流體歧管77具有一第一歧管入口771與分別對應於該些冷盤71的複數第一歧管出口772,且第二流體歧管78具有分別對應於這些冷盤71的複數第二歧管入口781以及一第二歧管出口782,而冷卻液分佈系統75具有第一入液口751、第一出液口752、第二入液口753以及第二出液口754,且冰水主機76具有一冰水主機入口761以及一冰水主機出口762。 Please refer to Fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of the system concept of a conventional cabinet-type heat dissipation system. The conventional rack-type heat dissipation system 7 includes a plurality of cold plates 71, a manifold 72, a coolant distribution unit (CDU) 75, and a chiller 76, and the manifold The device 72 includes a first fluid manifold 77 and a second fluid manifold 78, wherein the cold plates 71 are respectively used to match a plurality of electronic computer equipment 9 stored in a cabinet (not shown), for example, each cold plate 71 is in thermal contact Corresponding to the heat source of the electronic computer equipment 9, and each cold plate 71 has a cold plate inlet 711 and a cold plate outlet 712, and the first fluid manifold 77 has a first manifold inlet 771 and respectively corresponding to the cold plates 71 of the plurality of first manifold outlets 772, and the second fluid manifold 78 has a plurality of second manifold inlets 781 and a second manifold outlet 782 respectively corresponding to the cold plates 71, and the coolant distribution system 75 has a first The liquid inlet 751, the first liquid outlet 752, the second liquid inlet 753 and the second liquid outlet 754, and the ice water host 76 has an ice water host inlet 761 and an ice water host outlet 762.

再者,每一冷盤71的冷盤入口711與第一流體歧管77上相對應的第一歧管出口772流體連通,且每一冷盤71的冷盤出口712與第二流體歧管78上相對應的第二歧管入口781流體連通,而冷卻液分佈系統75的第一入液口751與第二流體歧管78的第二歧管出口782流體連通,且冷卻液分佈系統75的第一出液口752與第一流體歧管77的第一歧管入口771流體連通,因此,冷盤71、歧管裝置72以及冷卻液分佈系統75形成第一流體循環迴路,也可稱之為內循環。其中,第一流體循環迴路內填充有第一工作液(圖未示),且歧管裝置72在機櫃式散熱系統7中提供管道連接、承擔均流與導通的功能,而冷卻液分佈系統75可平均地地依據實際應用情況而將其中的第一工作液經由歧管裝置72的第一流體歧管77帶往各個冷盤71。 Furthermore, the cold plate inlet 711 of each cold plate 71 is in fluid communication with the corresponding first manifold outlet 772 on the first fluid manifold 77, and the cold plate outlet 712 of each cold plate 71 corresponds to the second fluid manifold 78 The second manifold inlet 781 of the cooling liquid distribution system 75 is in fluid communication, and the first liquid inlet 751 of the cooling liquid distribution system 75 is in fluid communication with the second manifold outlet 782 of the second fluid manifold 78, and the first outlet of the cooling liquid distribution system 75 The liquid port 752 is in fluid communication with the first manifold inlet 771 of the first fluid manifold 77. Therefore, the cold plate 71, the manifold device 72, and the coolant distribution system 75 form a first fluid circulation loop, which can also be referred to as an internal circulation. Among them, the first fluid circulation loop is filled with the first working fluid (not shown in the figure), and the manifold device 72 provides pipe connection in the cabinet-type heat dissipation system 7 and assumes the functions of flow equalization and conduction, and the cooling fluid distribution system 75 can On average, the first working fluid is brought to each cold plate 71 via the first fluid manifold 77 of the manifold device 72 according to actual application conditions.

又,冰水主機76的冰水主機入口761與冷卻液分佈系統75的第二出液口754流體連通,且冰水主機76的冰水主機出口762與冷卻液分佈系統75的第二入液口753流體連通,因此,冰水主機76與冷卻液分佈系統75之間形成第二流體循環迴路,也可稱之為外循環。其中,第二流體循環迴路內填充有第二工作液(圖未示),而冰水主機76可視為後端的散熱機制,主要是提供對第一流體循環迴路內之第一工作液 進行解熱的功能,也就是說,第一流體循環迴路內的第一工作液以及第二流體循環迴路內的第二工作液可在不互相混合下於冷卻液分佈系統75中進行熱交換。 In addition, the ice water host inlet 761 of the ice water host 76 is in fluid communication with the second liquid outlet 754 of the cooling liquid distribution system 75, and the ice water host outlet 762 of the ice water host 76 is connected to the second liquid inlet of the cooling liquid distribution system 75. The port 753 is in fluid communication. Therefore, a second fluid circulation loop is formed between the ice water host 76 and the cooling liquid distribution system 75, which may also be referred to as an external circulation. Among them, the second fluid circulation loop is filled with a second working fluid (not shown), and the ice water main engine 76 can be regarded as a back-end heat dissipation mechanism, which mainly provides the function of deheating the first working fluid in the first fluid circulation loop In other words, the first working fluid in the first fluid circulation loop and the second working fluid in the second fluid circulation loop can exchange heat in the coolant distribution system 75 without mixing with each other.

接下來說明習知機櫃式散熱系統7的運作流程。於第一流體循環迴路中,流經冷盤71的第一工作液因應與冷盤71相搭配之電子計算機設備9的熱源而受熱,受熱後的第一工作液經由歧管裝置72的第二流體歧管78流入冷卻液分佈系統75。另一方面,於第二流體循環迴路中,流經冷卻液分佈系統75的第二工作液因應流入冷卻液分配裝置75的第一工作液而受熱,受熱後的第二工作液再於離開冷卻液分配裝置75後進入冰水主機76而冷卻降溫,冷卻降溫後的第二工作液再次地流入冷卻液分佈系統75,如此一來,在第一流體循環迴路中,流入冷卻液分佈系統裝置75的第一工作液可與第二工作液進行熱交換而降溫,降溫後的第一工作液經由歧管裝置72的第一流體歧管77而再次流入冷盤71。在第一流體循環迴路以及第二流體循環迴路皆持續重覆進行上述的循環過程下,電子計算機設備9的熱能可被帶往低溫處,藉以達到降溫之效果。 Next, the operation process of the conventional cabinet-type heat dissipation system 7 will be described. In the first fluid circulation circuit, the first working fluid flowing through the cold plate 71 is heated by the heat source of the computer equipment 9 matched with the cold plate 71, and the heated first working fluid passes through the second fluid manifold of the manifold device 72 78 flows into the coolant distribution system 75. On the other hand, in the second fluid circulation circuit, the second working fluid flowing through the coolant distribution system 75 is heated in response to the first working fluid flowing into the coolant distribution device 75, and the heated second working fluid leaves the cooling fluid again. After the liquid distribution device 75 enters the ice water main engine 76 to cool down, the cooled second working fluid flows into the cooling liquid distribution system 75 again. As a result, in the first fluid circulation loop, it flows into the cooling liquid distribution system device 75. The first working fluid can exchange heat with the second working fluid to cool down, and the cooled first working fluid flows into the cold plate 71 again through the first fluid manifold 77 of the manifold device 72. When the first fluid circulation loop and the second fluid circulation loop continue to repeat the above-mentioned circulation process, the thermal energy of the computer equipment 9 can be brought to a low temperature, thereby achieving the effect of cooling.

然而,由於科技的變化相當地快速,用來存放電子計算機設備9的機櫃因應各種不同的需求而有五花八門的規格設計,而每一種規格設計的機櫃的散熱需求亦不盡相同,但上述習知的機櫃式散熱系統7的冷卻液分佈系統75無法因應各種不同規格的機櫃或是電子計算機設備9所產生的突發異常過熱情況來進行工作液流量的調控,導致對於某些規格的機櫃或某些突發異常情況會有散熱能力不足的問題,因此,如何針對上述的問題進行改善,實為本領域相關人員所關注的焦點。 However, due to the rapid changes in technology, the cabinets used to store the electronic computer equipment 9 have a variety of specifications designed to meet various needs, and the heat dissipation requirements of the cabinets of each specification design are not the same, but the above-mentioned conventional knowledge The cooling liquid distribution system 75 of the cabinet-type heat dissipation system 7 of the cabinet type is unable to adjust the working fluid flow in response to the sudden abnormal overheating of the cabinets of various specifications or the electronic computer equipment 9 Some sudden abnormal situations will have the problem of insufficient heat dissipation capacity. Therefore, how to improve the above-mentioned problems is the focus of attention of relevant personnel in the field.

Fig. 2 is a system block diagram of a Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a block diagram of the detailed component configuration system of the coolant system shown in FIG. 2. Please refer to FIG. 2, the cooling liquid distribution system 2 of this case includes a sensing module 16, a flow control module 18, an adjustment control module 20 and a heat exchange module 21. Generally speaking, the coolant distribution system 2 usually has two liquid inlets and two liquid outlets, that is, the first liquid inlet 11, the second liquid inlet 13, the first liquid outlet 15 and the second liquid outlet. Port 17, any liquid inlet 11, 13 and any liquid outlet 15, 17 are connected by a pipeline channel 19 through which working fluid can pass. The sensing module 16 is used to sense at least one of any liquid inlet 11, 13, any liquid outlet 15, 17 and pipeline channel 19 to obtain sensing data (such as temperature value, flow value or Pressure value). The flow control module 18 is used to control the flow of the working fluid flowing in the pipeline channel 19. The adaptation control module 20 is electrically connected to the sensing module 16 and the flow control module 18. The adaptation control module 20 receives the sensing data measured by the sensing module 16 and transmits the sensing data to the outside world The monitoring center 24. The monitoring center 24 issues control commands to the adaptation control module 20 based on the sensing data, and the adaptation control module 20 controls the operation of the flow control module 18 according to the control commands. The heat exchange module 21 is connected to the pipe channel 19, and the heat exchange module 21 is in fluid communication with the liquid inlet 11, 13 and the liquid outlet 15, 17 through the pipe channel 19.

再請參考圖3,本實施例的熱交換模組21包括熱交換器10、儲液模組12以及動力模組14。具體而言,第一入液口11接收匯集來自通過複數機殼(chassis)(圖上未繪)後的高溫工作液31;第二入液口13提供外界(如圖1所示的冰水主機)未帶廢熱的低溫工作液33進入冷卻液分佈系統2中;第一出液口15提供高溫工作液31依序通過熱交換器10、儲液模組12和動力模組14被降溫後的低溫工作液35離開冷卻液分佈系統2;以及第二出液口17則提供低溫工作液33通過熱交換器10後 形成的帶出廢熱的高溫工作液37排出,也就是說,第一入液口11至第一出液口15的路徑為冷卻液分佈系統2的內循環路徑,第二入液口13至第二出液口17的路徑為冷卻液分佈系統2的外循環路徑。此處所謂的高溫和低溫皆為相對比較或參考,例如高溫工作液31相對於低溫工作液35為高溫,高溫工作液37則相對於低溫工作液33為高溫。 Please refer to FIG. 3 again. The heat exchange module 21 of this embodiment includes a heat exchanger 10, a liquid storage module 12 and a power module 14. Specifically, the first liquid inlet 11 receives and collects the high-temperature working fluid 31 after passing through a plurality of chassis (not shown in the figure); the second liquid inlet 13 provides the outside (ice water as shown in FIG. 1) Host) The low-temperature working fluid 33 without waste heat enters the coolant distribution system 2; the first liquid outlet 15 provides the high-temperature working fluid 31 through the heat exchanger 10, the liquid storage module 12 and the power module 14 in order after being cooled down The low-temperature working fluid 35 leaves the coolant distribution system 2; and the second liquid outlet 17 provides the low-temperature working fluid 33 after passing through the heat exchanger 10 The formed high-temperature working fluid 37 with waste heat is discharged, that is, the path from the first liquid inlet 11 to the first liquid outlet 15 is the internal circulation path of the coolant distribution system 2, and the second liquid inlet 13 to the The path of the two liquid outlets 17 is the outer circulation path of the cooling liquid distribution system 2. The so-called high temperature and low temperature here are both relative comparison or reference. For example, the high temperature working fluid 31 is high temperature relative to the low temperature working fluid 35, and the high temperature working fluid 37 is relatively high temperature relative to the low temperature working fluid 33.

請續參考圖3,在本實施例中,熱交換器10例如是板式熱交換器,其提供高溫工作液31和低溫工作液33熱交換的場所,將高溫工作液31所帶的來自機殼的熱傳遞至低溫工作液33。低溫工作液33帶著機殼廢熱後成為高溫工作液37,而高溫工作液31通過熱交換器10後成為工作液39流入儲液模組12中儲存,其中,工作液39的溫度低於高溫工作液31。要說明的是,冷卻液分佈系統2中的熱交換器10以所佔空間小為優選考量,故本案的熱交換器10不限於板式熱交換器。另外,儲液模組12,其用以暫存通過熱交換器10的工作液39以為緩衝之用,例如幾何形狀不拘的儲水箱或儲液箱,以不與工作液發生反應的材料做成即可,例如不鏽鋼。接著,動力模組14,例如一或多個幫浦,利用動力將低溫工作液35從儲液模組12輸出傳送至第一出液口15後排放。在本實施例中,儲液模組12位於熱交換器10與動力模組14之間,但本發明並不以此為限,在其它的實施例中,可依照實際情況的需求而將儲液模組12與動力模組14的位置對調,也就是將動力模組14配置於熱交換器10與儲液模組12之間。 Please continue to refer to FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the heat exchanger 10 is, for example, a plate heat exchanger, which provides a place for heat exchange between the high temperature working fluid 31 and the low temperature working fluid 33, and the high temperature working fluid 31 is taken from the casing. The heat is transferred to the low-temperature working fluid 33. The low-temperature working fluid 33 takes the waste heat of the casing and becomes the high-temperature working fluid 37. The high-temperature working fluid 31 becomes the working fluid 39 after passing through the heat exchanger 10 and flows into the liquid storage module 12 for storage.

依據上述,本發明的冷卻液分佈系統可通過適調控制模組20和外界的監控中心的通信,將冷卻液分佈系統的熱交換效率情形傳遞至外界給監控中心的管理者參考,並且通過適調控制模組20接受外界的控制指令以進一步優化冷卻液分佈系統的熱交換效率。設置適調控制模組20的效益之一在於,在資源有限的環境下,冷卻液分佈系統的適調控制模組20的通信控制下可充分發揮能源的有效利用。當機殼(chassis)的電子設備,例如伺服器或工作站等,處於運作尖峰並伴隨大量的廢熱需排放時,遠端的管理者可透過適調控制模組20的通信得 知此一運作尖峰情形,進而下達控制指令以使適調控制模組20依據此控制指令控制流量控制模組18的作動,增加來自第二入液口13的低溫工作液33的流量大小。反之,在伺服器或工作站處於運作離峰並伴隨較少量的廢熱需排放的情形時,適調控制模組20可依據控制指令控制流量控制模組18的作動,減少來自第二入液口13的低溫工作液33的流量大小。其次,本發明的冷卻液分佈系統設置適調控制模組20的另一效益在於避免冷卻液分佈系統的封閉式調適,透過適調控制模組20對外的有線或無線的通信方式,將冷卻液分佈系統的運作情形傳送至外界。可以理解的,經過控制流量控制模組18作動後的溫度和流量的感測資料仍可透過適調控制模組20傳送至外界。 According to the above, the cooling liquid distribution system of the present invention can communicate with the external monitoring center through the adaptation control module 20, and transfer the heat exchange efficiency situation of the cooling liquid distribution system to the outside for reference by the supervisor of the monitoring center, and through the adaptation The adjustment control module 20 accepts external control commands to further optimize the heat exchange efficiency of the coolant distribution system. One of the benefits of installing the adaptation control module 20 is that in an environment with limited resources, the effective use of energy can be fully utilized under the communication control of the adaptation control module 20 of the coolant distribution system. When the electronic equipment of the chassis, such as a server or a workstation, is at a peak of operation and a large amount of waste heat needs to be discharged, the remote administrator can obtain information through the communication of the adjustment control module 20 Knowing this operating peak situation, it then issues a control command so that the adaptation control module 20 controls the operation of the flow control module 18 according to the control command, and increases the flow rate of the cryogenic working fluid 33 from the second liquid inlet 13. Conversely, when the server or workstation is in off-peak operation and a smaller amount of waste heat needs to be discharged, the adaptation control module 20 can control the operation of the flow control module 18 according to the control command to reduce the flow from the second liquid inlet 13 the flow rate of the cryogenic working fluid 33.
