Mining Thermal Heat Recapture & Hydronic Systems
Specialized engineering course on repurposing 60°C–70°C waste thermal exhaust from dielectric immersion tanks into greenhouse heating, floor radiant hydronics, and industrial drying.
Seminar Curriculum & Detailed Scope
This hands-on course is structured to provide rigorous thermodynamic principles and direct physical bench experience at our Gimpo laboratory.
What Is Included in the Scope:
- Secondary liquid-to-water brazed plate heat exchanger design and delta-T sizing
- Calculations for thermal output (kW/h thermal per MW electrical mining capacity)
- Hydronic loop distribution: PEX piping, thermal buffering tanks, and 3-way mixing valves
- Agricultural greenhouse winter heating requirements and soil warming loops
- Economic feasibility models: heating oil offset vs electrical pumping cost
Scope Boundaries & Exclusions:
- Greenhouse structural construction and civil earthworks
- High-temperature steam turbine power generation (applicable only above 120°C)
Laboratory Execution Process
Thermodynamic Heat Budgeting
Calculate available BTUs and kW thermal output from continuous ASIC hashboard operations across seasonal ambient temperature swings.
Heat Exchanger & Hydronic Plumbing
Size plate heat exchangers for dielectric-to-water transfer, avoid cross-contamination with dual-wall safeguards, and assemble glycol isolation circuits.
Integration with Agricultural Loads
Connect working test loops to soil heating manifolds and ambient radiant air handlers with automatic bypass valves for summer rejection.
Certified Technical Outcome
Ability to calculate, engineer, and deploy operational hydronic heat capture systems that convert mining heat waste into verifiable heating cost offsets.
