Immersion-cooling eliminates corrosive air particulate buildup and, when correctly overclocked, can even extend the mining rig operating lifetime as well as pump out extra terahashes per second — effectively saving money on the quantity of rigs required to achieve an equivalent hash rate of air-cooled mining rigs.
Immersion Crypto Mining Value
Two Phase Immersion cooling can reduce the death rate of crypto mining rigs. Decreasing the death rate of one’s rigs through heating and cooling optimizations will in turn squeak out additional profits. This is where immersion cooling can help reduce the death rate to capitalize on mining rig longevity and return savings back to the miner’s budget.
Two Phase Immersion cooling allows for easier overclocking of the ASIC, a practice that increases the mining rig's Terahashes per second (TH/s). Increasing hashing power allows for greater opportunity to earn more bitcoin and therefore continue scaling operations.
An overlooked aspect of mining is the sheer noise generated by a single ASIC, typically between 70 and 80 decibels (dB) or similar to the noise of a vacuum cleaner...24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Two Phase Immersion cooling virtually eliminates the operating noise of ASICs to an undetectable background noise.
Two Phase Immersion-cooled mining removes the build-up of airborne particles on the mining chips that degrade the mining rig's performance over time if not cleaned regularly. As particles accumulate on the surface of the chip, the chip becomes increasingly unable to radiate heat and sustain operation efficiently. These airborne particles are typically, but not fully, filtered in air-cooled systems. These filters potentially deprive the ASIC of the airflow needed for successful operation without increasing the intake or exhaust fan motors and consequently the electricity costs for the increased motors.
Two-phase Immersion-cooled mining is a closed-loop process that keeps the ASICs nice, clean, and generally safer, while air-cooled mining takes whatever's in the air and passes it through the ASIC, such as dust particles, pollen and smog residues.
1 megawatt of power can serve 333 air-cooled mining rigs at the preconfigured 3,000 watts each whereas, through immersion-cooled overclocking, that 1 megawatt of power can serve 200 or 250 mining rigs at 4,000 or 5, 000 watts each, generating cost savings by demanding fewer mining rigs per megawatt. Furthermore, reducing the quantity of miners also shrinks facility size requirements and reduces onsite personnel needs.
Immersion cooling is a greener approach to bitcoin mining, as the heat emitted by the ASICs can be fully recovered and reused to heat, for example, domestic water, swimming pools, and underfloor heating. Several businesses are already benefiting from this heat output by supplementing primary heating systems. The implementation of immersion cooling implies a reduction in electronic waste due to a reduced failure rate of mining rigs. Concern that the earth’s landfills will overflow with mining rig e-waste would be counterintuitive to the goals of squeezing and stretching every last Satoshi spent on maintaining operation uptime.
The name of the mining game is effectively scaling operations with minimal additional costs, such that the skill of scaling a Bitcoin mining operation is a form of art, expressed in the medium of cutthroat expenses.
