Moonshot LogoResolute Engineering was tasked with designing two immersion fluid cooling process design system configurations. One 50 Megawatt and one 100 Megawatt mining facility.

  • Prepared CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Model using ANSYS Software and Process Modeling using Schlumberger Symmetry Software.
  • The base configuration has one or more bath for the miner cooling (30 miners per bath) using a heat transfer fluid, a pump, a dry-cooler to cool the fluid, and a filter.
  • ICE 1000 was used in the calculations for the heat transfer fluid.
  • Develop distribution header and redo manifolds to optimize mining rig capacity and minimize heat.
  •  
  • The following three options are available when it is not possible to cool the fluid down to 95°F using ambient air:
    • 1. Operate fewer miners so the exit bath temperature is kept below 135°F.
    • 2. Enhanced design which includes a refrigeration unit to chill the fluid coming from the air-cooler.
    • 3. Overdesign the system such that a entering bath fluid temperature of 115°F is acceptable.
