Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a cold energy and data center cold supply coupling system of LNG (liquefied natural gas), and belongs to the technical field of LNG cold energy utilization.
Background
The main component of natural gas is methane, and when the methane is reduced to-162 ℃ (the boiling point of methane) under normal pressure, the methane is liquefied, and the volume of liquefied methane per cubic meter becomes 0.0024m3About 1/600 parts by volume of methane at 0 ℃ under normal pressure. After liquefaction of methane, its volume becomes significantly smaller. The LNG receiving station uses the remarkable characteristic of methane to liquefy natural gas near the production site of the natural gas, and then uses the characteristic that the liquefied natural gas has small volume and is beneficial to transportation to transport the natural gas to the receiving station in the form of LNG for storage, gasification and export to users.
The LNG receiving station needs to transport the LNG to the user after the LNG is gasified. The LNG is reduced to an initial gas state after being gasified, and can be used as fuel for thermal power generation and gas for urban residents. In the LNG gasification process, low-temperature energy of 870kJ/kg can be generated. Currently, this cold energy is mostly released into the sea water or air. If this energy is used, a huge energy saving can be achieved. Therefore, from the viewpoint of energy saving, it is important to actively seek and efficiently use the cold energy.
The LNG cold energy utilization technology is divided into direct utilization and indirect utilization. The direct utilization technology comprises air separation, low-temperature power generation, light hydrocarbon recovery, liquid ethylene storage, freezing warehouse, dry ice preparation, seawater desalination, cold accumulation and the like. The indirect utilization techniques include frozen food, low-temperature medical treatment, freeze drying, sewage treatment, low-temperature pulverization, etc.
The data center as an information-based construction infrastructure is stepped into a rapid development period, and meanwhile, the energy consumption of the data center is rapidly increased. Compared with the traditional building space, the data center has high heat dissipation density, the heat dissipation capacity per unit area can reach more than 40 times of that of the traditional office area, and the trend of centralization and large-scale is increasingly presented.
The traditional data center refrigeration technology mainly comprises two forms of water cooling and air cooling:
one, common form of water-cooled cooling system is: the heat of the machine room is transferred to the cold machine by chilled water through the heat exchange of the precise air conditioner, and then is transferred to the outside by cooling water through the cooling tower. The cooling system adopts a water chilling unit for refrigeration under the high-temperature working condition in summer, adopts a mode of combining a plate heat exchanger and the water chilling unit for cooling under the working condition in transition seasons, and utilizes a mode of naturally cooling by the plate heat exchanger and a cooling tower under the working condition in winter. The form is the most common and mature cooling system of the current data center, along with the improvement of the performance and heat exchange efficiency of a water chilling unit, a cooling tower and a precision air conditioning device and the improvement of the high-temperature server technology, the chilled water temperature of the data center can be increased to 18/24 ℃, the annual average energy efficiency of the current water cooling system is greatly increased, and the annual average PUE of partial regions can be lower than 1.3; the biggest limiting factor of the water cooling system is that the water resource is seriously consumed, all heat dissipation capacity under the working condition all the year around is taken away in a water evaporation mode of the cooling tower, and the water cooling system is a great test for urban water resources.
Secondly, the air cooling system mainly has the following two forms: 1. an air cooling water chilling unit + a tail end precision air conditioner 2. a direct expansion precision air conditioner + an outdoor unit. When a data center is built to limit the influence of water resources, an air cooling form is usually selected, however, the common defects of the two forms are that the data center is not suitable for large-scale construction, firstly, the initial investment cost of the scheme is high, the subsequent operation energy consumption is high, the annual average PUE generally reaches more than 1.6, secondly, the IT power of a single cabinet of the current large-scale data center generally reaches more than 8KW, in order to cope with the heat accumulation effect of higher heat density and intensive placement of outdoor equipment, a large number of spatial positions of the placement positions of the outdoor equipment are needed, and the utilization rate of land resources is low.
Currently, the common data center cooling mainly has the following technical routes:
1) electric drive mechanical refrigeration system (Water cooling)
The refrigeration system comprises a water-cooled chiller, a plate heat exchanger, a cooling tower and a tail end precision air conditioner, the refrigeration working principle is that heat of a machine room is transferred to a refrigerator through chilled water through heat exchange of the precision air conditioner, the refrigerator utilizes a shell-and-tube evaporator to enable water to exchange heat with a refrigerant, the refrigerant system absorbs heat load in water, the water is cooled to generate cold water, heat is brought to a shell-and-tube condenser through the action of an electrically-driven refrigeration compressor, heat exchange is carried out between the refrigerant and the water, and the heat is brought out of an external cooling tower through a water pipe to be discharged after the water absorbs the heat. This form of refrigeration system is currently in widespread use in large-scale data centers.
2) Air-cooled direct-expansion type refrigerating system
The refrigerating system of the air-cooled direct-expansion precise air conditioner consists of four parts, namely an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and a restrictor (an expansion valve, a capillary tube and the like), wherein the evaporator, the compressor and the restrictor are generally arranged in a machine room, and the condenser is arranged outdoors. The precise air conditioning unit absorbs heat from a room or a machine cabinet, and a gaseous refrigerant is converted into high-temperature high-pressure steam by a compressor, is sent to an outdoor air-cooled condenser, and transfers the heat to outdoor air after being cooled. Such refrigeration systems are widely used in small-scale data centers.
3) Natural gas distributed energy
The natural gas distributed energy is arranged near a user, natural gas is used as a main fuel to drive gas power generation equipment such as a gas turbine, a micro-combustion engine or an internal combustion engine to operate, generated power is supplied to the power demand of the user, and waste heat discharged after power generation of a system supplies cold to the user through waste heat recycling equipment. Some data center cooling projects employ natural gas distributed energy cooling routes.
In conclusion, the LNG cold energy utilization is coupled with the data center cold supply, so that the double-carbon target is realized, an effective path of a clean low-carbon safe and efficient energy system is explored, and the green and high-quality development of novel infrastructures such as 5G can be promoted.

The LNG cold energy is used as a free cold source, so that the operating cost of the data center can be greatly reduced, and the initial investment of the data center can be effectively reduced due to the reduction of the installed scales of a water chilling unit, a cooling tower and supporting equipment thereof.
The process of vaporizing the LNG in the emergency gas source station is determined according to the process requirements and is discontinuous intermittently. The water cold accumulation system stores intermittent cold energy in the energy storage water tank through the LNG heat exchange equipment, so that not only can the data center be continuously cooled, but also the use efficiency of the equipment can be improved.
Compared with the conventional electric refrigeration process, the system supplies cold for the data center by using the cold energy released in the LNG vaporization process, can reduce energy loss and waste, relieve the energy supply pressure of the data center, improve the energy utilization rate, realize the cascade utilization of energy and have good economic benefit.
