Immersion cooling for mining

How it works

Machines are placed in tanks filled with a dielectric fluid. In single-phase systems the fluid stays liquid and is circulated through a heat exchanger. In two-phase systems it boils on the hot surfaces and condenses again, carrying more heat.

Benefits

Operators adopt immersion for several reasons:

• [+]Higher stable clock speeds and hashrate
• [+]Less dust, fewer fan failures and longer hardware life
• [+]Much lower noise
• [+]Heat that can be reused, for example for buildings

Trade-offs

Tanks and fluid cost more up front, servicing a machine is messier and not every model is built for it. Many facilities mix methods.

In practice

The Immersion tank upgrade in OnlineCryptoMining adds a glowing fluid tank to your bay and improves your cooling metrics.
