How to Choose a Data Center Server Liquid Cooling System Water Pump?
2023-04-26
With the rapid development of cloud computing and big data technology, data centers have become important facilities for enterprises and organizations to manage and store information. According to a report by a market research company, the global data center market size is expected to reach US$45 billion in 2026, and grow at an average annual growth rate of 10.87%.
However, with the continuous expansion of the scale of data centers, problems such as energy consumption and heat dissipation have become increasingly prominent, and have become one of the bottlenecks limiting the development of data centers. This requires the use of an efficient and reliable heat dissipation system to ensure the normal operation of the server. One of the effective cooling methods is liquid cooling technology, and the water pump is its core component. This article will introduce the knowledge of data center server liquid cooling technology and the skills of selecting liquid cooling water pumps.
Data Center Server Liquid Cooling Solution
When the servers in the data center are running, they consume a lot of electricity and generate a lot of heat. Generally speaking, the temperature in the server room should not be lower than 50°F or higher than 82°F (10°C–27.7°C), while the optimal temperature range is 68° to 71°F (20°C–21.6°C C). To ensure reliable operation and the longest possible service life of the components, the heat generated must be dissipated in good time.
Traditional data center cooling systems usually use air cooling devices or water cooling devices, but these devices are not only expensive, but also with high energy consumption , bulky in size, difficult to install and maintain, all of which makes it difficult to meet the high cooling demands of today's data centers. In addition, traditional cooling systems also face the problem of densely arranged data centers and insufficient space utilization.
Compared with the traditional air cooling method, liquid cooling technology has higher cooling efficiency, can effectively reduce the temperature of the server, reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, thereby improving the energy efficiency ratio of the server. In addition, liquid cooling technology can also reduce noise and vibration, improving the reliability and safety of the data center.
Micro Pumps Are Used In Data Center Server Liquid Cooling System
At present, more and more data center servers adopt liquid cooling technology for heat dissipation. In the application of liquid cooling technology, the water pump is a key component.
Usually, the
liquid-cooled water pump equipment is installed in the host room of the liquid-cooled system of the data center, and the water is delivered to the cooling equipment in the server rack through the water pipe. In the server rack, the liquid-cooled water pump is usually connected to the radiator, which will circulate hot water back to the main room of the liquid-cooled system, to complete the functions of heat transfer and heat dissipation.
In the server liquid cooling system, the importance of the liquid cooling water pump is obvious. The heat dissipation effect and stability of the liquid cooling system are directly related to the performance of the water pump. If the performance of the
liquid-cooled water pump is not good, it may lead to poor heat dissipation, and even affect the normal operation of the server. At the same time, the stability of the liquid-cooled water pump is also very important. Once the water pump fails, it may have a serious impact on the normal operation of the data center.
Aspects That Should Be Paid Attention To When Choosing A Server Liquid Cooling Water Pump
A high-quality liquid-cooled water pump, using advanced brushless DC motor technology and sophisticated fluid mechanics design, can meet the various needs of the data center cooling system, and can be applied to cooling tower circulation system, heat exchanger circulation system, water tank cooling system and many other aspects.
Topsflo has been researching liquid-cooled water pump technology for many years. The current data center server liquid-cooled water pump B03 and PC3 have the characteristics of high efficiency, energy saving, small size, and quietness. They have been widely applied in the cooling systems of many data centers and well received by customers.
When choosing a server liquid cooling water pump, it is recommended to focus on the following four aspects:
1. Efficiency
The efficiency of the liquid-cooled water pump determines the heat transfer efficiency of the cooling system, which affects the operating efficiency and stability of the server. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a water pump with high efficiency. The Topsflo cooling water pump adopts a brushless DC motor, which can exert greater performance at a given power, achieve lower heat generation, less power consumption, and reduce system energy consumption.
2. Reliability
The liquid cooling water pump is one of the core components of the liquid cooling system. Once it fails, it may have a serious impact on the normal operation of the data center. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a water pump with high reliability. Topsflo specializes in the production of intelligent water pumps with automatic control and self-protection functions, using materials with high corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and high pressure resistance to ensure the reliability and long life of the pump.
3. Operating sound
The operation of the liquid-cooled water pump will generate noise, which will affect the working environment of the data center and the user experience. Generally, technologies such as low-noise motors and shock-absorbing materials are considered to reduce the noise of the water pump. The Topsflo cooling water pump adopts a patented silent design, imported high-precision silent rotors, the average noise is generally lower than its peers, and will not affect the working environment of the data center.
4. Installation and maintenance
The installation and maintenance of the liquid cooling water pump is very important for the normal operation of the liquid cooling system. Topsflo cooling water pump has a variety of control methods, which can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, it also has a variety of installation methods, which can adapt to different data center environments.
To sum up, when selecting a liquid-cooled water pump, data centers need to comprehensively consider efficiency, reliability, noise, installation and maintenance, etc., and choose a water pump that suits them to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the liquid-cooled system.
In the future, Topsflo Pumps will continue to upgrade its advantages in intelligent control, high efficiency and energy saving, sustainable development, safety and reliability, and provide support and guarantee for the stable operation and sustainable development of the data center.
