AB - 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%.
