02 / A place in your project
A pod gives your miners a defined home. Compare the footprint, outlet load and airflow with the space and power you have available.
Eleven shelves hold the miner fleet, while two smart distribution units provide 96 C19 outlets. Six centrifugal fans move air through replaceable filters.
The quoted fan flow is a nominal total, not a measured airflow through every installed miner. Filter condition and the chosen layout affect the working airflow.
Build the quotation around the miner model, site location, available power and cooling conditions. Agree the equipment schedule, delivery arrangements and commissioning responsibilities before placing an order.
Cooling explained
See how this cooling method moves heat away from the mining hardware.
Coolant flows through passages inside a compatible hydro miner. It carries heat into pipework and onward to the cooling equipment. The electronics are not submerged.
Liquid circuits suit dense installations and reduce reliance on fast fans inside each miner. They also provide a defined route for collecting useful heat.
Match the coolant, flow and pressure to the miner. Include pumps, leak monitoring and suitable outdoor cooling. Pumps and external fans still consume power and create noise.
Compatible hardware sits in a dielectric fluid that absorbs its heat. The fluid passes through a cooler directly, or transfers heat to a separate circuit through an exchanger.
Immersion can reduce miner fan noise and exposure to airborne dust. It also brings the heat into a liquid circuit that can support a planned heat reuse system.
Use fluid approved for the hardware, seals and circuit materials. Allow for filling, fluid handling and servicing, along with the electrical load and space required by pumps and external coolers.
Fans move air through the miners, collecting heat before discharging it outside. A clear path between the filtered inlet and exhaust helps prevent hot air returning to the machines.
The hardware remains directly accessible, and standard air cooled miners can be serviced without draining a liquid circuit. Filters can be selected for the site environment.
Size ventilation for the fleet and local temperature. Consider dust, filter resistance and sound at the site boundary. The sum of fan catalogue ratings is not a measurement of installed airflow.
Schematic illustration. Hydro and immersion diagrams show a separated circuit example; some systems connect directly to a compatible cooler. Heat reuse needs a suitable local demand and a separate engineered connection.
Power distribution and cooling equipment must be matched to the selected hardware. The published reference configuration is summarised below.
04 / Useful heat
These are applications to assess with a thermal designer, not promised outputs or evidence that recovery equipment is included.
Mining heat can be useful where there is a nearby demand at a suitable temperature. Warm exhaust air may suit an engineered ventilation or drying application.
Keep independent heat rejection available when the receiving site cannot use the heat. Any recovery plant, temperature boost and additional pumps belong in the project specification and energy budget.
Assess a controlled supply of warm air to an adjacent workspace, with filtration and an outdoor discharge route.
Compare the required air temperature and cleanliness with the exhaust stream before designing a drying application.
Retain independent cooling when the receiving building or process cannot accept heat. Account for pumps, fans and any temperature boost in the project economics.
05 / Before delivery
A clear specification prevents the site and the equipment from being designed in isolation.
Plan the foundation, lifting route, service access, incoming power and external cooling together. Component weights and dimensions refer to the named parts and fill conditions, rather than automatically describing a complete operating installation.
Agree the foundation, delivery route, lifting plan and service clearances for the supplied equipment.
Confirm physical fit, connection type and continuous electrical load before committing to a fleet quantity.
Define who installs, tests and commissions each part of the system, including external plant and monitoring.
Project questions
Miners are separate unless expressly included in the written equipment schedule.
Availability and lead time require confirmation. This page does not represent confirmed stock allocation.
The written quotation confirms the supplied equipment, miner quantity where included, freight, tax treatment and commissioning responsibilities. Availability and dispatch timing are confirmed for the order.
06 / Fleet planning
Each fleet example is an alternative, not an additional group to combine. The final miner order needs an approved configuration.
Digital Shovel lists the S21 Pro family with 70 reference positions. These examples use that family and the lower quantity allowed by power screening. Confirm miner revision, supply voltage, continuous outlet current and cable assemblies. These are planning combinations, not a record of previous purchases.

Confirm fleet availability
Quantity is the lower of 70 positions and the whole number of miners within a 230 kW example miner budget, allowing 5% above catalogue miner wattage. The 230 kW allowance is below the published 270 kW pod figure to leave room for auxiliary and site constraints. It is a planning allowance, not an approved electrical design.
Miner cost and gross monthly earnings use current catalogue unit values multiplied by quantity. Earnings use the same base field as the homepage cards, before electricity, operating costs and downtime. No heat income or bulk discount is assumed. The infrastructure is quoted separately. These totals are illustrations, not guarantees of income or availability.
