Interesting.
It is a shame propane refrigerators need 150c or it would be an easy conversion.

A S19 KPro running at 1400w on 110v power blows hot air past a radiator coated with wet zeolite clay inside an empty s19 enclosure. The moisture in the wet clay aggressively evaporates as the hot dry air blows past it creating a cooling effect. The cooled water from the radiator is pumped to a second radiator which absorbs heat and humidity from the air creating a cooler ambient air temperature. This is just the initial setup to see if the concept even remotely works. It's clear from a few sort tests that it is working so I'll continue to iterate on the design.

I'm pretty sure a refrigerator would work if you put the wet clay under vacuum with a valve that would close to recharge it.
Depends on your cold side temp.
I was thinking the opposite direction. That we could reuse a lot of readily available apparatus to make cooling out of miner heat if the temp for the ammonia conversion was lower.
When I saw it didn't work I figured I'd post anyway to save anyone else with the same thought the hassle of looking up that temperature.
Hydro Miner can do this
150C? I thought the asic chips cook well under 100C chip temp? Also 150C would require special fluids or very high pressures to avoid boiling.
Sorry F. About 180 F
To clarify and sum it up , it can be done(at least I believe personally ) with hydro miners putting out 75c water and the adsorption chillers needing 70c minimum to operate .. it’s tricky cause they are currently large scale units (30 ton) and use ammonia. But I’ve been asking as digging deeper and found some more people who maybe working on it .
It’s open source idea now , and a race to products :):)
More as it develops?
