Working principles
The pump station provides two ways of coolant with temperature, pressure, flow rate and medium to meet the requirements to the water distributor assembly, the water distributor conveys the coolant to the water cooling plate after two stages of liquid distribution, and the water cooling plate takes away the heat inside the equipment; the coolant after heating enters the cooling tower and the outside air for forced heat exchange, or enters the plate heat exchanger and the outside cold source for cold exchange, and the coolant after cooling is again conveyed to the water cooling plate through the pump station and the water distributor assembly. The coolant after cooling enters the cooling tower and the outside air for forced heat exchange or enters the plate heat exchanger and the outside cold source for heat exchange. The working principle of Dry-Wet Combined Type Air Cooling Tower is divided into dry working condition and wet working condition.
Its working principle under wet condition is as follows: The cooling tower takes water and air as the cooling medium, and USES partial evaporation of cooling water to take away the heat generated by cooling fluid flowing in the coil. Inside are: spray device, snake type condensing coil, (packing heat exchange layer) water remover, bottom set water tray. The outside of the box is equipped with a circulating pump and an axial fan on the side of the condensing coil. During operation, the cooling water is sent from the pump to the upper part of the condenser coil and the liquid condensed by the cooling water outside the tube flows from the lower part of the condenser coil And out the other. After absorbing the heat from the refrigerant, some of the water is evaporated into water vapor, which is sucked up by the axial fan and discharged into the atmosphere. The cooling water that has not evaporated falls on the lower collector plate, which is used for recycling by the water pump. The axial circulating fan is drawn by the top to strengthen the air flow, the negative pressure in the water tank, to reduce the evaporation temperature of water, to promote the evaporation of water film, and to strengthen the heat release of the condensing coil. The role of the water eliminator is to block unevaporated water droplets in the air and make It leaves the water tray to reduce the consumption of cooling water. In addition, the float ball valve is also set in the water pan. When the water is continuously evaporated, the float ball valve will open automatically, providing supplementary cooling water. The working principle under dry working condition is to force the higher temperature coolant from the water cooling plate to exchange heat with the low-temperature air, and the coolant after reducing the water temperature enters the system again through the pump set for heat dissipation.

Safety regulations

  • A symbolic distinction indicating the degree of danger “ ” is the logo for electrical charge. It is forbidden to open the cover plate with the logo.

Precautions for operation

  1. Filtered coolant should be used as the cooling medium, and there should be no floating objects, or particles in the liquid supply circulation system.
    Note: the cooling medium should use the coolants produced by manufacturers. It is not allowed to make them with different substances by yourself. Otherwise, we will not be responsible for any problems. It is recommended to choose organic coolants. Inorganic coolants contain phosphorus, silicon, boron, molybdenum, nitrate, etc., which will generate precipitate over a long time. The recommended manufacturers for coolants: Great Wall brand, Shell brand, etc.

  2. When the ambient temperature is below 0 ℃, the water in the sump and spray pipeline must be completely discharged to prevent icing damage to the equipment.

  3. The equipment should not be wired without permission, and it is forbidden to be used in parallel with other equipment.

  4. If the equipment has abnormal conditions (such as burning smells, etc.), it should be shut down, disconnected from the power supply, and checked.

  5. There is an emergency stop on the entry door and on the door of electric cabinet A and B, when an emergency occurs, press the emergency stop, then the power circuit breaker will be disconnected immediately. After the emergency is reset, turn the main circuit breaker to the OFF position before power on the switch again;

Procedures for the pressure test:

  1. Check again whether the exhaust valve and the ball valve are closed;

  2. Close the NO.7 Ball Valve;

  3. Refer to 5-2-6 for example, using a bellows to connect the manifold inlet and outlet and open all mini ball valves on the water distributor;ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(23\) Figure 5-2-6 System – chuck connection

  4. Connect the air pipe to any fast plug-in interface, and close the corresponding ball valve. ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(22\)Figure 5-2-5 System – ball valve for connecting pipelines

  5. Use an air compressor to press to 7 bar, keep the pressure for more than 30 minutes, and check for leakage;

  6. Key sites for inspection are as follows:

    • Connection between the fast connection-peg and the mini ball valve;
    • Joint between the quick plug ball valve and the bellows;
    • Connection between the mini ball valve and the water separator;
    • Connection between the fast-plug connector and the computing equipment;
    • Flange/chuck/thread/welded joints.
      ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(24\) Figure 5-2-7 System – Flange/thread/welded joints
  7. The check methods are as follows:

    • Seeing, hearing and touching are applicable to leakage inspection.
    • Choose one of soap, washing powder and detergent, add water to one of them to make soapy liquid and apply it to the suspected leakage points, especially at the connections. The part with bubbles is the leak point.
  8. Repressurization:
    After the high-calculus server is online, it needs to be checked again for gas-liquid mixture, pressure 7 bar, stable for more than 2h, and check whether there are leakage points in the above

The system filled with coolant
System rehydration consists of four steps:

  1. Preparation: prepare materials and tools and open all exhaust valves of the system;
  2. System fluid replenishment: use self-priming pump and fluid replenishment pump to replenish the system;
  3. Replenishment of water tank: replenish the water tank with the cooperation of self-priming pump and replenishment pump;
  4. Regular replenishment: self priming pump and replenishment pump can be used together, or the manual replenishment port on the top of the water tank can be used to replenish the water tank;

Step 1: preparation

  1. Get the coolant ready.
  2. Connect the external pipeline according to the ANTSPACE field installation manual;
  3. Check if the automatic exhaust valves or the ball valves on the internal and external pipes of the container are opened. (See Figures 5-3-1 through5-3-3); Figure 5-3-1 Internal container – automatic exhaust valveANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(27\) Figure 5-3-3 External connecting pipelines – automatic exhaust valve****
  4. Open the top exhaust valve of the water tank and install the chuck, ensuring that the tank is connected to atmospheric pressure. (See Figure 5-3-2).

ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(26\)

Figure 5-3-2 Manifold-Air Vent Valve
Step 2-3:Procedures for the coolant charge:

  1. A self-priming pump must be installed outside the container, The self-priming pump needs to inject liquid into the pump head for the first time. Find the port for coolant charge outside the container (at the side door of the container), plug in the hose, and clean it. External coolant is added into the suction port of the self-priming pump. (see Figure 5-3-4)ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(28\) Figure 5-3-4 Pump station – charging hose
    Note: the recommended brands and parameters of self-priming pumps are as follows:

  2. Nanfang pump 25qy-2, rated flow 2m3 / h, rated lift 40m, motor power 1.1kw, electric system 380V / 50Hz;

  3. Lingxiao pump bjz150, rated flow 3m3 / h, rated lift 30m, Output Power 1KW, electric system 380V / 50Hz;

  4. Nanfang pump 32zw (f) 5-20, rated flow 5M3 / h, rated head 20m, motor power 1.5kw, electric system 380V / 50Hz;

  5. Close NO.8 Ball Valve and NO.6 Ball Valve as shown in Figure 5-3-5, open NO.7 Ball Valve, click on the filling pump on the touch screen interface, and turn it on.ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(29\) Figure 5-3-5 Pump station – charging valve
    The refilling pump can be used for refilling both the system and the water tank. If the valve handle is parallel to the pipeline, the valve is in the open state; if the valve handle is perpendicular to the pipeline, the valve is in the closed state.

  6. When the system is filled with liquid, if the static pressure reaches more than 0.7 bar (Refer to figure 5-3-7 for touch screen readings), the circulating pump can operate for 10 seconds, and then it should be stopped.

  7. Continue to add liquid. Repeat twice to ensure that 1.3 to 1.5 tonnes of coolant is added.

  8. When the static pressure reaches 1.0 bars, stop adding coolant(Just observe the reading of the pressure sensor on the main interface, as shown in figure 5-3-7 below). ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(31\)Figure 5-3-7 pressure sensor reading on main interface

  9. Then open the circulation pump again, circulate the medium in the system, ensure that the exhaust valves are all opened.

  10. Then open NO.6 Ball Valve, close NO.7 Ball Valve, click on the refilling pump on the touch screen interface, and turn it on. Fill the water tank with coolant, and stop refilling coolant when the level gauge in the water tank reaches more than 2/3 (see Figure 5-3-6 for the location of the level gauge). Figure 5-3-6 Pump station – liquid level meter

  11. Close NO.9 Ball Valve and NO.6 Ball Valve outside the container, and open NO.8 Ball Valve and NO.7 Ball Valve.

  12. After the above operation is completed, the system back pressure (1# pressure gauge/return pressure sensor) will be stabilized at 1-1.5 bar for normal operation.

Step 4:Regular replenishment of water tank
When the water tank needs to add a small amount of coolant, you can open the top exhaust valve of the water tank to install the chuck (see 5-3-6), and manually add coolant to the water tank from the manual feeding port.
Note: If the valve handle is parallel to the valve, the valve is in the open state; if the valve handle is perpendicular to the valve, the valve is in the closed state.

Electrical wiring
There are two 500 kW PDC inside the equipment. In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment, two three-phase five-wire cables carrying 500 kW should be prepared on site in advance (no specification is specified). The two cables are respectively connected via the upper two holes on one side of the exhaust fan of the container, see Figure 5-4-1.

ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(32\)

Figure 5-4-1 Cable inlet hole
(Note: the rainproof cloth and rainproof cover in the accessories shall be used for protection) Three-phase cables are connected to the top of two PDC. The zero line enters to the top of PDC, extends to the zero line row where it is installed and fixed with screws.Both sides of the container have grounding studs, and PDC must also be grounded securely. Therefore, ensure that both the container shell and PDC shell are grounded securely. When leaving the factory, the phase sequence of the equipment has been determined. After the equipment arrives at the site, it only needs adapt to the phase sequence of the on-site substation. The operation is as follows: connect the three-phase power of the substation to the distribution cabinet, power on the electric control cabinet, and observe whether there is power failure; In case of power failure, please adjust the phase sequence connected to the electric cabinet; If there is no fault, it can operate normally. The cooling tower is separated from the container, and above the cooling tower are three cooling fans and a spray pump, as well as a liquid level sensor. After the cold tower is fully secured on top of the container, connect cables to four motors and one sensor. After the cold tower is fully secured on top of the container, connect cables to four motors and one sensor as shown in Figure 5-4-2.

Figure5-4-2 Liquid level sensor

Five wires have been reserved. The sequence of the three cooling fans is not specified, but their wiring sequence is U, V and W (from left to right), the location of cooling fan as shown in Figure 5-4-3.

ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(34\)

Figure 5-4-3 Location of cooling tower cooling fan

Among them, cable trough is reserved at the top and side of the cooling tower, and the cables need to be arranged along the trough . The wiring sequence of the spray pump is also U, V and W (from left to right). The position for the liquid level sensor has been reserved. Find the npt1 / 2 nut and gasket from the cooling tower spare parts box, remove the cooling tower air inlet grid, install the liquid level sensor from inside to outside, and install the liquid level sensor as shown in figure 5-4-4 below.

Precautions for the first power on of the system
After the wiring of the whole system is completed, the unit can be powered on for commissioning. However, before power on, it is also necessary to use a multimeter to measure whether there is a short circuit between phases, between phases and zero, between phases and ground and between zero and ground of the two power supplies. If not, it means that it can be powered on normally. If there is a short circuit in any of the above items, the fault shall be found out first and then powered on. After the front-end of the system is powered on (the system itself is not powered on), it is also necessary to measure the voltage of the front-end to see whether it meets the power requirements of the equipment.
The power requirements of the equipment are: AC415V± 5%, 60Hz(UL)/ AC400V± 5%, 50Hz(CE).

System power on sequence
1: First, power on the electric cabinet:
When the electric control cabinet door is opened, first open MCB17, then MCB 18 and MSS6, and then open the circuit breaker at the front end of the frequency converter. MCB -DC1, MCB -DC2 and MCB -DC3 are 24V, 12V and 5V DC switches. After power is applied, ensure that the three switches are on. At this time, the screen on the cabinet door and the PLC begin to work. When the electric control cabinet door is closed and the system needs to be powered on, first open the protection switches in the cabinet MCB18, MSS6, MCB-DC1, MCB- DC2, MCB-DC3 and the front end of the frequency converter, then close the cabinet door and open MCB17 through the cabinet door operating handle. At this time, the device is powered on. Trained electricians can operate the system through the touch screen, set parameters, modify threshold, change operation mode (automatic/manual), start and stop a motor separately or operate automatically. At this time, the liquid cooling system can be operated first to control the liquid supply temperature within the required temperature range, and then the conditions for starting the calculation unit can be met.
2: After the electric cabinet is powered on, the conditions for starting the computing unit can be met only when the liquid supply temperature is maintained near the target temperature according to the operation process of the control system. At this time, the circuit breakers in distribution cabinets A and B can be opened to power on the computing unit.

The power on sequence of distribution cabinet is as follows:
First open MCB-A1 and A2, then MCB-15, 16, 21, 22, B1 and B2, and then start rows of computing units in order as required. Since there are 210 computing units in total, there are 14 rows in total. When starting a computing unit, start the next row at an interval of 20s after starting a row (15 computing units), and so on.

System power-off sequence
When the system needs to be powered off for some reason, first disconnect the power supply of the computing unit according to the requirements, in order to ensure that the water temperature of the computing unit is consistent before and after power failure, which is equivalent to protecting the power module of the computing unit.  When the computing unit is powered off, manually stop the liquid cooling system through the touch screen. At this time, the water temperature will rise slightly, but it has no impact on the system. Finally, disconnect the main power supply of the electric control box and distribution cabinet to make the whole system completely powered off. The above practice is the behavior of safe power failure. However, in case of serious fault in the system, you can directly press the emergency stop button on the inner door of the container to make the main circuit breaker of the distribution cabinet and the main circuit breaker of the electric control box trip instantly, so as to make the system in a complete power-off state, which is convenient for professionals to carry out maintenance work.

Division of personnel responsibilities
Responsibilities of general operation and maintenance personnel:
General power on and power off (disconnect or combine circuit breakers), system startup and shutdown (touch screen key operation), network cable detection and exchange.

Professional electrician responsibilities:
General power on and power off work (disconnecting or combining circuit breakers), system startup and shutdown (touch screen key operation), network cable detection and exchange.

Figure 5-6-2 Manual control screen
At this time, the motor and frequency converter to be operated can be inched. Generally, when the system is filled with liquid, it is necessary to manually start the make-up pump and circulating pump. However, before starting, it is necessary to ensure that the running direction of the motor is correct. Therefore, after power on, turn on the 1# exhaust fan and observe its running direction. When the wind blows out of the container, it indicates a positive rotation. Before the equipment leaves the factory, all motors have been debugged and rotate forward. Therefore, you only need to observe the running state of one motor. When the motor reverses, it is necessary to phase adjust the three-phase power input to MCB17, that is, change the phase sequence of two cables. 5.6.3 Parameter setting screen

Maintenance of ANTSPACE HK3

Introduction
Preventive maintenance is to reduce the probability of product failure or prevent functional degradation, and is to be done according to the scheduled time interval or in accordance with the specified standards, mainly including adjustment, regular inspection and necessary repair. Through preventive maintenance, equipment maintenance technicians and operators can be familiar with the product performance, structures, principles, methods of use and precautions, so that the equipment can play its due function. Good maintenance ensures that the equipment is in good working condition.

Preventive maintenance
Monitored by operators
When using the equipment, operators should monitor its status to discover potential faults. Once the operator discovers the system has the fault alarm, he should carry on the fault confirmation and inspection quickly, and finds the fault cause.

Inspection during use of the equipment
When using the equipment, the operator shall conduct a qualitative check according to the plan to determine whether the product performs its specified functions.

  • Check whether the liquid supply and return pipelines and power circuits are properly connected.
    Inspection requirements: all pipelines and connections shall be free of leakage and cables shall be free of damage;
    Inspection method: visual inspection;

  • Check whether the liquid return pressure (back pressure) is low, and timely refill the coolant.
    Inspection requirements: the return pressure value is higher than 0.05Mpa (observe the main interface of the touch screen or 1# pressure gauge). If the pressure is lower than this value, it needs to be replenished.
    Inspection method: visual inspection and data comparison.

  • Check the liquid supply system and record the temperature and pressure data every half day.
    Inspection requirements: record the data of liquid supply / return temperature, liquid supply / return pressure and liquid supply flow, and observe whether the data tends to be stable in long-term operation.
    Inspection method: visual inspection and data comparison.

  • Check the fault alarm of the system, such as temperature, pressure, flow, etc. (the above fault state is displayed on the fault alarm screen of the touch screen), and record it every half day.
    Inspection requirements: check the system alarm points and conduct troubleshooting according to the instructions; Inspection method: visual inspection and as required.

Scheduled maintenance
Maintenance of Y filter
The system is divided into inner circulation and outer circulation. The inner circulation medium is coolant, and the outer circulation medium is tap water. The system has been set filtration of the internal and external circulation. When the system runs for a period of time, the filter needs to be cleaned.

There are three filters, and their corresponding cleaning time requirements are as follows:

  1. Spray pump suction filter of cooling tower: the cleaning cycle is once a month.
  2. Y-type filter of inner circulation in the liquid supply system of the pump: the cleaning cycle is once every six months(On Demand).
  3. Y-type filter of inner circulation in the liquid replenishment system of the pump: the cleaning cycle is once a year. Cleaning method: wash it with water, rinse it and air dry it before use.

Replacement steps:

  • Cut off the main power supply of the equipment;
  • Locate and close the butterfly repair valve in the system shown in Figure 8-3-2, unscrew the plug on the filter end cover, and partially drain the pipeline;
  • Locate the position of the Y-type filters in Figures 8-3-1 and 8-3-2.

ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(47\)

Figure 8-3-1 Positions of the butterfly repair valve and the Y-type filter in the pipelines

  • After finding the filter, unscrew the cap on the filter with an adjustable wrench.

ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(50\)

Figure 7-3-4 Schematic diagram of filter cap

  • Remove the filter inside the filter for cleaning (or replacement)

Installation methods:

  • Install the cleaned filter screen and tighten the filter cover with a wrench.
  • Power up the equipment and charge coolant into the system.

Note: the gasket on filter cover should not be damaged.

Pipeline leakage maintenance
When the equipment runs for half a year, the pipe network should be checked for leakage. If leakage is found, the equipment should be stopped immediately for maintenance. During maintenance, the operation of the client load device should be stopped first, and then the unit should be stopped. After the completion of leak detection, the system shall be replenished.

Maintenance of electrical components
After the equipment runs for half a year, it is necessary to check and maintain the wiring terminals and crimping screws on the electrical components of the electric control box inside the water pump cabinet to prevent wiring terminals and crimping screws from loosening, resulting in poor contact and damage of components, and abnormal operation of the unit, thus affecting the work of the whole liquid cooling device.

System sewage discharge
After two years of operation of the system and the water tank, there may be some sundries in the system pipelines, so the sewage in the system should be discharged in a timely fashion.

Sewage discharge steps:

  • Locate the position of NO.1-3 Ball Valve and NO.9 Ball Valve. (See Figure 8-3-5)

ANTSPACE-V5-Liquid-Cooling-System-\(51\)

Figure 8-3-5 Filling/discharging valve for the pump station inside the container

  • Connect the drain hose to No. 2 ball valve and No. 3 ball valve, tighten with a hose clamp; Lead the hose out of the unit and open No. 1-3 ball valve and No. 9 ball valve to drain the system.

Checking of the liquid level in the water tank
The system monitors the liquid levels in two water tanks (in the container and in the cooling tower). When the liquid level in the water tank is lower than the required value, a sound and light alarm on the touch screen of the system will go off to indicate the low water level in the water tank. In this case, the fault should be checked and the liquid should be replenished in a timely fashion. But even if the alarm does not go off for the tank level, the tank level should be checked regularly. The water tank level in the container must be checked once a week after stable operation. If the liquid in the water tank cannot reach 2/3 of the water tank, it is necessary to replenish liquid in a timely fashion. The water tank level of the cooling tower should be checked once a day, and shortage of water is not allowed, unless air cooling mode is adopted in winter, in which case the water inside the cooling tower needs to be emptied.
