Can you heat a pool with bitcoin miners?
In this video I show how to capture the heat from immersion cooling some ASIC miners through a heat exchanger and redirect it into my swimming pool for the winter time!
With immersion cooling, I can overclock these crypto mining machines as fast as they will go and still get rid of heat by using dielectric coolant to transfer heat into a brazed plate heat exchanger. Any excess heat goes out through a radiator on a seperate redundant loop.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! That particular brazed plate heat exchanger is the wrong thing. Chlorine eats copper brazing, so it would eventually leak and mix pool water into my ASIC tank. You need to look up an all stainless steel heat exchanger for pools. Thank you!

I was a little concerned about the mixed reviews, but I used it last year and hooked it up again this year and it was great kzfaq.infoUgkx-izdrK3eF-HMvjzeBOxToD6Fx-4ulJUh . I couldn't get my 10' Intex pool above 76 degrees the year prior and last year I got it to 90 and had to put ice in it. This worked so well! I have just 1 mat hooked up to a 1,000 GPH Intex pump and it makes a significant reduction in the flow rate coming back into the pool, but that is to be expected with how far the water has to travel through the mat.

you could have redundancy by separating the miner loop and the water loop by putting a closed loop of non-conductive liquid with a heat exchanger on both sides. that way both heat exchangers have to fail to cause damage, and the closed middle loop could have a dye to detect a leak in either heat exchanger.

So in the event that the heat exchanger pump dies, or something gets clogged- that radiator is big enough to completely cool the whole system by itself, and so is the heat exchanger.

These radiators are sufficient to keep two miners cool, but you have to be really careful about the flow of the coolant up through the machines. If your nozzle is positioned in such a way where the flow is biased to one side, it will cool one miner MUCH more than the other and not work well enough.. Engineered Fluids uses flow plates to make this work - I just had to play around with the nozzle position a bunch; but this radiator can handle both units without the pool

I've been subbed to your channel since the first vid and really enjoy the content. I have a ? For you tho. Based on the daily profit your sj19s are making a profit after power of 26 dollars a day. I am curious as to why you decided to go with a bitcoin miner instead of more gpus. Was it a space concern?. I only say this because even with scalper prices you could get at least 30 or more 1660ti gpus with the same 15k the bitcoin miner cost. Those make after power even on nice hash around 1.20 per day so the 30 would make 36 per day instead of the 26 per day. If I am missing something here please let me know. I was just curious is all. I've got a decent size gpu farm and have been running the numbers as I'd like to move into the bitcoin miners more but I can't seem to find one that can beat the daily profit on the investment that gpus offer atm

I have been trying to build an immersion cooling setup at home for some time now, and just the other day i found your first two videos, i was thrilled that someone documented the process fully, since i also have a pool, i plan on doing a similar setup. though i would also ask, due to summer heating the pool, how hot fo you believe your pool will eventually get?

@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE definitely a very bad scenario. my personal plan was to do somewhat similar to the setup in your second video, with my s19 inside my garage, but the tubing is piped through the wall, outside, to the radiator and a fan mounted on the side of the house, that way heat goes out, and miner stays inside. though with payouts being down by almost 50% for me, if it keeps up I will end up not even breaking even with electrical, so gonna hold off for a bit on buying the immersion cooling for the moment. hopefully, payout rates go back up at some point, still new to using ASICs.

@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE 2 жыл бұрын
David Sundin from Engineered Fluids says that PEX is actually “cross-linked polyethylene”, or XLPE. He doesnt recommend it for use with an immersion system because although XLPE is compatible at lower temps, it softens in the presence of hydrocarbons at temps above 140F, which is right in the middle of the temp band where you’re going to be.

@jmaus2k 2 жыл бұрын
​@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE Pex can do over 200F with no/low pressure and 180F under typical plumbing pressures. They test with chlorine to 140F(the max for the test). Since you don't have high water pressure, I would think it would be fine. That CPVC(or glue used) is like a ticking clock, it will degrade over time and give you a bad day. If you get higher temps then use flexible copper or stainless steel like solar water heating suppliers sell.
