Study on an energy-saving thermal management system in outdoor base stations

Abstract

In order to solve the poor heat dissipation in the outdoor mobile communication base station, especially in summer, high temperature alarm phenomenon occurs frequently, affecting the normal operation of building base band unite, this paper designs an energy-saving and efficient integrated thermal management system, which has achieved good results by applying the combined operation of heat pipe cooling and air conditioning system using the outdoor temperature switching mode. A mobile communication base station in Zhengzhou City was chosen for a pilot application. The measured results showed that the system ran stably, the temperature inside the cabinet was controlled between 12?C and 39?C with no high temperature alarm, the compressor running time was significantly reduced, the power consumption of the air conditioner was significantly reduced, and the annual power saving rate was as high as 58.63%.
