摘要:

随着数据中心算力的不断提升,对服务器冷却能力的要求也日渐提高。与传统的风冷空调系统相比,液体比热容和密度均远大于空气,因此液冷系统成为数据中心改善冷却效果、降低能耗的必然选择。梳理了冷板式液冷、浸没式液冷和喷淋式液冷三种数据中心液冷技术领域的研究进展,系统分析了冷板式液冷及微通道设计、浸没式液冷及射流冲击冷却效果、喷淋式液冷表面改性和喷嘴结构优化等方面的研究工作及存在的问题,展望了液冷系统未来的研究方向。

Abstract:

As the computing power of data centers continues to increase, the demand for server cooling capacity becomes increasingly high. Compared with traditional air-cooled air conditioning systems, liquid have much higher specific heat capacity and density than air, making liquid cooling systems an inevitable choice for data centers to improve cooling efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Progress in three liquid cooling technologies in data centers—cold plate liquid cooling, immersion cooling, and spray cooling—was reviewed. Systematic analysis was conducted on the research work and existing issues in aspects including cold plate liquid cooling and microchannel design, immersion cooling and jet impingement cooling performance, as well as surface modification and nozzle structure optimization for spray cooling, and future research directions of liquid cooling systems are prospected.

Key words: data center, liquid cooling, heat transfer, cold plate liquid cooling, immersion cooling, spray cooling, microchannels, two-phase flow
