FAQ

A:Approximately 25KW (maximum) for the fan, water pump and oil pumps.

A:The oil selected is Shell Immersion Cooling Fluid S3X with a flash point of 198° and a pour point of -42°, which can perform normally under most weather conditions. The oil pipe also has insulation, allowing a better flow of the oil.

It is recommended to cover the container while it is not in use, to protect it from extreme weather conditions.

A:The PLC is simple to operate and we can ship out Minerbase with a common basic configuration. In consideration of the varying environment around the world, we have prepared operating manuals for each product. The detailed operating procedures provide users with setting information on various geographic locations for the mining site. Remote video support is also available for any additional questions.

A:In comparison to the air cooling model, the liquid cooling container requires daily maintenance for the cooling tower, including water replenishment, blockage removals of the air outlet (located at the top of cooling tower), and regular build-up removals inside the cooling tower (pay special attention to the water collection tray, air inlet window and the water spray device). Neither the water pump nor the oil pump can operate without liquid. Other maintenance includes the regular cleaning of the dust net, daily inspection of the oil tank level, oil seepage from pipeline valves and loose screws checks.

Please carefully prevent direct skin contact with the liquid as the cooling fluid is a volatile, toxic and irritating solution.

A:The common consideration will be based on your requirements of the location, weather conditions, budget, mining farm setup/layout and daily maintenance. Our team will be able to provide more detailed consultation based on your specific requirements.

A:The A series and L series are suitable for outdoor server deployment. The A series has a larger capacity that supports up to 336 units of Antminer S19. The A series is a cost-effective option with an average hosting cost as low as $78 per miner*. The L series has the immersion liquid cooling system that is more advanced in terms of cooling technology with intelligent operation system and overclocking.

The T series is designed for indoor deployment. Its integrated oil tank that introduces the water heat recycling feature. By deploying the T series, miners will be able to recover heat generated from Bitcoin mining for greenhouse agriculture, fish farming, underfloor heating and many other great use cases.

*Without the consideration for logistics and other cost factors, the average miner price starts as low as about $110 for AN20 and $78 for AE40.

A:The most suitable cooling system depends on the scale and location of the operation. Air-cooling is common for small to medium-scale operations, while larger facilities may use liquid or immersion cooling for more efficient heat dissipation.

A:Efficiency: Liquid cooling is generally more efficient at heat dissipation.

Cost: Air-cooling is less expensive and simpler to maintain.

Scalability: Liquid cooling is more scalable and effective for larger operations.

A:To know which mining container is right for your operation, consider factors like power requirements, cooling solutions, security features, and portability. The choice depends on the scale of your operation and environmental conditions.

A:Portability: Allows relocation to areas with cheaper electricity or more favorable climates.

Scalability: Easy to scale operations by adding more containers.

Reduced Infrastructure Costs: Minimal need for building or construction, reducing setup costs.

A:Compatible with ASIC miner brands such as Antminer, Whatsminer, Avalon and other common mining brands*. Miners with air cooling can also adopt the liquid tank by removing the fans (a fan simulator is required).

*The amount of slots available may differ depending on the manufacturer and model of mining equipment.

A:Depending on the container size and the design of the mining rigs, a standard 20-foot container can typically hold 50-100 mining rigs.

A:The ideal temperature for Bitcoin mining containers should be aligned with working temperature of miner models to ensure optimal hardware performance and longevity.

A:Bitcoin mining container power consumption varies widely based on the number and type of rigs. A single 40FT mining container can require 1.5MW, meanwhile a 20FT mining container can require 0.775MW

A:In immersion cooling, the mining hardware is submerged in a non-conductive liquid. Heat from the hardware is transferred to the liquid, which is then cooled and recirculated.

A:Typically, a dielectric mineral oil or engineered fluids specifically designed for heat transfer in electronics are used.

A:Immersion cooling is highly efficient and can significantly extend hardware life. However, it's more complex and expensive, making it suitable for large-scale operations where cooling efficiency and hardware longevity are critical.
