We size our digital boilers to the baseload heating needs of district energy systems (heat needed on the hottest days of the year). Even in the summer hot water is needed for showers, dishes, laundry etc.
Discussion
So all of your systems use water and boilers, even to heat air? Are the miners kept hot enough to consistently boil water? What happens when there isn’t enough demand to keep them cool?
Do you have a picture of these setups btw?
They are immersion systems colocated on district energy lines (highly insulated underground pipes that deliver heating and cooling to entire city blocks, university and hospital campuses, etc).
They do not boil water but heat water to temps exceeding antimicrobial thresholds.
This is a 3 x 400kW setup :)
I guess it’s better than straight up wasting the heat, but I’m still skeptical, and crypto mining certainly isn’t a sustainable practice.
What temperature does the water reach?
