The manufacturer of devices of mining BitFury is using a technology of refrigeration of bass environmental impact for the maintenance of the teams of mining of criptomonedas in your plant located in Tbilisi, Georgia.
A news report published at the portal Bloomberg narrates this company's experience, that at present you submerge Bitcoin's miners in 160 tanks that they contain a liquid nondriver to hold colds, while they extract criptomonedas and they contribute to hold the status of the net updated. Co. Es 3M has to do with a cooling system with so-called Novec's liquid, of the company a refrigerant of immersion with low index GWP ( Global Warming Potential ).
The system was designed and created for Allied Control Ltd., company of engineering with seat in Hong Kong, that was acquired by BitFury in 2015. On it, the director of the signature, Valery Vavilov, you indicated that they thought about this type of technology when realized that data centers would be used so much for searches in Internet to insure Bitcoin's chain of blocks.
The technology of immersion reduces the consumption of energy and the space. Our
mining operations keep on being profitable and we are optimistic with Bitcoin in the long run.

Director, Bitfury
The executive also gets ahead of that BitFury is betting that this technology will deem a bigger request as companies' part of computation in the cloud, in urban areas. An idea that is backed up by Allied Control's founder, Kar Wing Lau, who coincides with Vavilov in the system's advantages, adding that the plant is visited by bankers and frikis of data that want to see therapy criptográvida for themselves.
The project, announced in 2015, he was cherished ` by then in 100 million dollars, and the company thought about turning it bitcoin at the country into the second center of processing of transactions with her development euroasiático, proving better than with his processing capability from 100MW the other data center of BitFury, established in Gori, of 20MW.
ADVANTAGES: A CLEANNER TECHNOLOGY
This technology of refrigeration for immersion has time on the market and has had several uses. Fluids the employees for servants' cooling have, and they have even used themselves for the fire-fighting of career automobiles, according to mark off Bloomberg.
With regard to this matter, the executive of 3M, Michael Kelly, indicate that they are at work with 10 centers of data of high capacity, that use the refrigeration for immersion.
The system implies the position of the hardware in an accessible liquid- refrigerant tank with one point of boiling low. Once the team gets warm, the fluid Novec boils and this change of state makes that heat comes out of the components. The fluid becomes vapor, rises and condenses in a bobbin water-cooled. Next go back to the tank. That way, a 95 %'s saving of energy, according to the company, with minimal loss of fluid turns out well.
They argue in order to highlight the advantages of this method, the engineers of 3M that liquids are clean, respectful with the ambient midway and non-flammable, unlike the refrigeration for immersion in oil, for example. Besides, they do not require heat radiators, bombs and jets to maintain the cool hardware, because circulation happens for natural evaporation, without playing extra energy.
The costs of the mining activity also decrease because with these new technologies the heat generated by the mine can be reused, causing a market of new heaters, originating of the sector of the criptomonedas.
In relation to the theme, a group of investigators and professors of an institution of technical Singaporean education is on the lookout for solutions for Litecoin's miners, next to the company 3M. The University of California also is taking care of the subject. There, Michael Bedford Taylor, director of the Center for Dark Silicio, you affirmed than although the cooling for immersion liquid is at present uncommon in the data centers of general purpose, he would be able to become a common method in Bitcoin's mining facilities. You pointed fingers besides than the companies that they provide this guy of technologies they have seen a growth of the interest between the miners.
In this way, these systems are acquiring popularity and probably get to substitute some of the techniques used by the mining farms, that they include to submerge to your miners in oil tanks and enclosure to bury them at lots of cold places.
