Abstract

Abstract:

With the advancement of Internet and 5G technology, the rapid development of data base stations in various industries puts forward higher requirements on the heat dissipation of electronic devices with high heat flux. Immersion phase-change heat dissipation technology has become hot issue because of its high heat dissipation performance, being convenient for maintenance and low noise. Based on the research on the principle, cooling material selection, boiling heat transfer mechanism and sealing material selection of the immersion phase-change cooling technology, the development and research status of the technology applied in data centers are systematically explored. Finally, the development direction of high heat dissipation technologies for digital base stations is prospected.

Key words: immersion phase-change heat dissipation, phase-change material, heat heat dissipation, boiling heat transfer, data center, carbon neutrality
