Container data center and waste heat utilizing system therefor

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a waste heat utilizing system for a container data center. The waste heat utilizing system includes a first heat exchanger received in and absorbing heat from the container data center, a water inlet pipe communicated with the first heat exchanger for supplying water to the first heat exchanger to exchange heat, a second pipe communicated with the first heat exchanger for removing heated water from the first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger connected to the second pipe for dissipating heat of the heated water removed from the first heat exchanger, and a heat utilizing device receiving the second heat exchanger therein for absorbing the heat dissipated by the second heat exchanger. A third pipe is dipped into water container and connected to an outlet of the second heat exchanger, and water is flowed back to the water container via the third pipe.

         2 . The waste heat utilizing system of  claim 1 , further comprising a water container communicated with the first pipe and the third pipe. 
     
     
         3 . The waste heat utilizing system of  claim 2 , wherein the water container is a well. 
     
     
         4 . The waste heat utilizing system of  claim 1  further comprising a pump connected to the first pipe. 
     
     
         5 . The waste heat utilizing system of  claim 1 , wherein the second heat exchanger comprises a heat conducting pipe and a plurality of spaced fins extending from the heat conducting pipe. 
     
     
         6 . The waste heat utilizing system of  claim 5 , wherein the second pipe and third pipe are communicated with the heat conducting pipe, respectively. 
     
     
         7 . A container data center comprising:
 a container for receiving a plurality of servers therein;   a first heat exchanger received in the container for absorbing heat from the servers;   a water container located outside of the container and containing water therein;   a water inlet pipe having an end dipped into the water container and an opposite end connected to an inlet of the first heat exchanger;   a second pipe, the second pipe is a water outlet pipe communicated with the first heat exchanger;   a second heat exchanger connected to and communicated with the second pipe;   a third pipe, the third pipe is a water outlet pipe having an end dipped into the water container and an opposite end connected to an outlet of the second heat exchanger; and   a heat utilizing device receiving the second heat exchanger therein;   wherein water in the water container flows into the first heat exchanger via the water inlet pipe and takes away heat absorbed by the first heat exchanger from the hot air in the container to the second heat exchanger, and the water dissipates the heat to the circumferential space in the heat utilizing device by exchanging heat with the second heat exchanger and flows back to the water container via the third pipe.
