Finite time thermodynamic analysis and optimization of water cooled multi-spilit heat pipe system(MSHPS)
The finite time thermodynamic analysis,the exergy method were employed to build the simulation model of the combined system of water cooled multi-spilit heat pipe system(MSHPS)used in data center.The results show that the IT servers should concentrate on arranging at the location below 1.3 m.The CDU has a heat transfer of about 74 J in a period of 6 s.And the optimum flow rate of the CDU is 0.82 kg/s.Then the free cooling time,part time free cooling and energy saving potential in major cities of China were analysised.The energy saving potential is from 61%to 25%.The results are of great significance for the operational control and practical application of other pipe-net systems.
