Cleanspark will launch a 20 MW immersion cooling initiative.

Cleanspark, a bitcoin mining firm focusing on environment, has announced the launch of a 20 MW project in their Norcross bitcoin mining site, where miners will be cooled by immersion. More than 5,900 miners will be accommodated at this facility, which will be immersed in tanks of biodegradable liquid. According to Cleanspark, this will allow them to save electricity while increasing the hashrate acquired from miners.

Cleanspark, a bitcoin mining firm focusing on sustainability, has announced that it would begin using alternate, more effective means of cooling its miners. The business announced the installation of a 20 MW immersion cooling project in its existing Norcross bitcoin mining plant, making it one of the first mining companies to use such technology on a big scale.

The corporation will arrange around 6,000 miners who will be immersed in 180 tanks of liquid spread across the mining area. Cleanspark will not have to adapt anything in order to add the tanks necessary for this, which is a benefit of immersion cooling.

According to a press release, this change would help the firm to gain greater performance from the miners while also saving energy, cutting power usage by 20%.

While liquid cooling is not a new concept in the mining business, with some tiny miners able to create their personal immersion mining equipment, it is only recently that it has started to make sense to adopt this technology in larger-scale mining operations. This is beneficial because it means that these organizations may now receive by installing this new technology in pre-existing data centers.

Zach Bradford, CEO of Cleanspark, stated:

We are constantly seeking ways to make our operations more sustainable and productive while achieving maximum performance. Deploying an environment-friendly cooling technology that also increases the economics of our bitcoin mining operations was an obvious choice for us.

The corporation purchased the Norfolk data center in August, with the objective of accomplishing this effort by the end of the year. This is not the only project involving immersion cooling that has lately been disclosed by massive mining firms. Riot Blockchain recently revealed that immersion cooling will be used to cool half of the capacity of its new Texas site.
