Benefits of technology

[0006]In view of the disadvantages of prior art, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a heat exchange chamber capable of utilizing a flow resistance to raise resistance to the flowing of a cooling fluid and thus enabling the cooling fluid to be distributed uniformly inside a cavity formed inside a cavity of the heat exchange chamber.
[0007]To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a heat exchange chamber, comprising: a casing, configured with a cavity, an inlet and an outlet in a manner that the inlet is provided for allowing a cooling fluid to flow into the cavity and the outlet is provided for allowing the cooling fluid to flow out of the cavity as the cooling fluid is enabled to flow in a flowing direction through of the cavity; a thermal dissipation device, disposed inside the cavity; and a flow resistance, disposed inside the cavity at a position proximate to the inlet to be used for narrowing down a flow channel from the inlet to the cavity and thus raising the resistance to the flow of the cooling fluid before the cooling fluid flows through the thermal dissipation device, so as to enable the cooling fluid to be distributed uniformly through the thermal dissipation device.

Problems solved by technology

In many typical mainframe computers such as servers, poor heat dissipation performance is usually the case that cause the computer to malfunction so that how to design a heat sink or heat dissipating device with optimized heat dissipation performance is becoming the key issue in modern electronic computing industry.
And not to mention that the complexity of the heat dissipation system for modern cloud data centers that are crowded with servers in high density is generally almost double comparing with those for common data centers.
The results can be ugly if there is no proper heat dissipation system with good performance available and consequently all distinct possibilities can be caused, such as the operation of the servers may be unstable or even fail, energy can be wasted, the performance of the personnel working in the server room may be poor since an uncomfortable working environment can be resulted, the cost for managing the server room may increase, and so on.
Thereby, the heat dissipating efficiency can be severely affected since there must be a portion of the thermal dissipation device inside the heat exchange chamber that is sit idle as it is not in any thermal contact with the cooling fluid.

first embodiment

[0015]Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A, which is a schematic diagram showing a heat exchange chamber for liquid state cooling fluid according to the present invention, and a schematic diagram showing a flow resistance according to the invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the heat exchange chamber comprises: a casing 1, a thermal dissipation device 2, and a flow resistance 3. The casing 1 is configured with a cavity 10, an inlet 11 and an outlet 12 in a manner that the inlet 11 is provided for allowing a cooling fluid 0 to flow into the cavity 10 and the outlet 12 is provided for allowing the cooling fluid 0 to flow out of the cavity 10 as the cooling fluid is enabled to flow in a flowing direction through the cavity 10, as the arrow 00 shown in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the diameter of the outlet 12 is larger than that of the inlet 11, by that the cavity 10 can be prevented from having too much gas being accumulated therein, and thus the boiling point of the cooling fluid 0 can be pre...

second embodiment

[0016]Please refer to FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, which is a schematic diagram showing a flow resistance according to the invention, and a partial top view of FIG. 2B. As shown in FIG. 2B, the flow resistance 3, that is composed of a plurality of protrusions 30, is designed for narrowing down a flow channel from the inlet 11 to the cavity 10 so as to raise the resistance to the flow of the cooling fluid 0 before the cooling fluid flows through a thermal dissipation device 2, and thus enable the cooling fluid 0 to be distributed uniformly through the thermal dissipation device 2. As shown in FIG. 2C, the two sides of each protrusion is formed with a first ramp 300 and a second ramp 301, and consequently, by the defining of two corresponding first ramps 300 on any two neighboring protrusions 30, a converging channel 302 is formed, and the same time, by the defining of two corresponding second ramps 301 on any two neighboring protrusions 30, a diverging channel 303 is formed. With the formati...

Abstract

A heat exchange chamber for liquid state cooling fluid is provided, which comprises a flow resistance, the flow resistance is sited inside a cavity at a position proximate to an inlet. In other words, the flow resistance is sited between the inlet and a thermal dissipation device. The flow resistance narrows down a flow channel from the inlet to the cavity, and it raises the resistance of the cooling fluid before the cooling fluid flows through a thermal dissipation device. Because of the heat exchange chamber for liquid state cooling fluid, the cooling fluid could be distributed uniformly through the dissipating heat device.
