Terms related to mining equipment cooling, including air, water and immersion cooling, heat exchange, coolants and other concepts.

Dielectric Fluid

An electrically non-conductive fluid used to transfer heat in specialized cooling systems.

Details

Cooling Loop

A circulation path that moves coolant between heat sources and heat rejection equipment.

Details

Immersion Cooling

A cooling method that submerges equipment in electrically non-conductive dielectric fluid.

Details

Delta T

The temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of a cooling system or component.

Details

Air Cooling

A cooling method that removes heat from mining equipment through moving air.

Details

Hydro Cooling

An engineered liquid cooling system that circulates coolant to remove heat from mining equipment.

Details

Direct-to-Chip Cooling

A cooling architecture that transfers heat directly from computing chips into a liquid cooling system.

Details

Coolant

A working fluid or medium that transports thermal energy inside a cooling system.

Details

Cooling Capacity

The amount of heat a cooling system can continuously remove under defined conditions.

Details

Heat Dissipation

The process of removing thermal energy generated by mining equipment.

Details

Thermal Load

The amount of thermal energy that must be continuously removed from operating equipment.

Details
