Crypto is hot, mining is cool: Edge Data Solutions bows new immersion cooling system for crypto mining
Edge Data Solutions has announced its introduction of the “Crypto Arctic Tank,” a first-of-a-kind 200kw sustainable immersion mining solution. According to the announcement, the tank provides users up to 50% more hashing capacity with the highest-density power-distribution unit, and the highest-efficiency fluid on the market, Edge Fluid VHP 1200.
“We are at a pivotal moment in our global energy crisis, when we are struggling to balance our growing energy demands with our requirement to minimize our carbon footprint,” says Delray Wannemacher, Edge CEO and Co-Founder. “Edge has broken the glass ceiling by producing what many have claimed could not be done: Creating Sustainable Mining Solutions which give the blockchain community a unique opportunity to lead the world in next-generation cooling technology.”
Some background on the issues at stake: In today’s energy crisis, crypto mining is frowned upon for its high consumption of energy and its negative impacts on the global carbon footprint. “Air-cooled” Bitcoin mining is the basic, traditional method of managing the heating and cooling of mining rigs with fans and air. Conversely, “immersion-cooled” Bitcoin mining more efficiently uses circulation pumps and special liquids designed to work with electronics in lieu of air. Edge’s Crypto Arctic Tank was introduced as the industry’s first efficient liquid immersion solution, which future-proofs crypto operations by enabling miners to minimize energy consumption and operational costs. Thanks to this first-of-a-kind solution, miners can reduce their energy consumption and operational costs by using Edge’s sustainable mining solution technology to remove the heat generated by the hashboards which are used to anonymously pass crypto transaction information.
Specifically, the Crypto Arctic Tank is differentiated from other solutions on the market today because it:
- Provides a 200kw crypto mining solution, over 50kw more than others available today
- Enables miners to achieve up to 50% more hashing capacity. “Hashrate” refers to the total combined computational power used to mine and process transactions on blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum
- Offers a user-friendly, turnkey solution which runs quietly and seamlessly from any location, wherever it’s needed in the world.
Edge’s proprietary Edge Performance Platform enables it to deploy next-generation edge data centers from any location, providing the industry’s most advanced immersion cooling technology that improves performance and reduces energy costs and latency. The company is noted for serving more computing power to key industries including crypto, fintech, cloud gaming, telecom 5G, 3D/video/AI rendering, video streaming, remote desktop, IoT, and autonomous vehicles.
“This is sustainable mining made easy,” adds Daniel Wong, Edge’s President and Co-Founder. “Our turnkey solution is very easy to install, running quietly, seamlessly and efficiently from any location, anywhere in the world. We are proud that Edge is bringing together the best minds from all generations to bring the highest level of enterprise standards to the industry.”
