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

Air Cooling

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

Details

Immersion Cooling

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

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

Dielectric Fluid

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

Details

Coolant

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

Details

Cooling Loop

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

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

Thermal Paste

A paste-like thermal interface material used to improve heat transfer from a chip to a heatsink.

Details

Thermal Pad

An elastic thermal interface material used to transfer heat across a physical gap.

Details

Delta T

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