Description

Pump module and its pump

technical field

The invention relates to a pump module and its pump, in particular to a pump module and its pump which can assemble and disassemble a plurality of pumps arbitrarily.

Background technique

Generally speaking, a liquid cooling system is mainly composed of a plurality of pipelines connecting a liquid cooling head, a radiator, a pump, and a liquid storage tank. When the liquid cooling system dissipates heat from the electronic components, the pump pumps the cooling liquid into the liquid cooling head, the cooling liquid absorbs the heat generated by the electronic components, and then the cooling liquid is cooled by the radiator. Therefore, the output flow of the pump will affect the overall performance of the liquid cooling system. At present, a single pump has a maximum output flow limit. If you want to increase the overall performance of the liquid cooling system, you need to replace the currently used pump with a pump with a larger output flow. Not only is there a lack of flexibility in use, but it will also increase the setup cost of the liquid cooling system.
