Cooling

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

Delta T

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

Details

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

Direct-to-Chip Cooling

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

Details

Immersion Cooling

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

Details

Cooling Capacity

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

Details

Thermal Load

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

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

Coolant

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

Details

Heat Dissipation

The process of removing thermal energy generated by mining 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.
