What might on its face seem like one of the most inconvenient places for a data center is actually one of the best. Northern Norway has an abundance of surplus energy and is one of the most attractive regions in Europe for energy-intensive digital infrastructure. Abundant hydroelectric power and a reliable supply of renewable electricity create ideal conditions for high-density compute deployment. Taking advantage of these natural conditions, DCX delivered a modular, skid-based immersion-cooling platform for cryptocurrency mining utilizing direct seawater cooling.
Northern Norway offers abundant hydroelectric power and access to naturally cold fjord water. However, these resources are often located far from established digital infrastructure, creating challenges for conventional data center development. The client required a solution that could be deployed rapidly in a remote location without the cost, complexity, and construction timelines associated with a traditional facility. A scalable architecture was required that could be manufactured off-site, transported to the location, and commissioned with minimal on-site construction work.
To meet the project requirements, DCX designed and delivered a modular skid-based mining platform based on PRO 9 immersion cooling technology. Each skid was equipped with 6 high-density mining racks, each accommodating 18 S19 miners integrated into DCX PRO 9 immersion tanks. Every rack operated at approximately 63 kW.
The cooling system uses naturally cold seawater from a nearby fjord as its primary heat-rejection source. With seawater temperatures of approximately 4°C, combined with a corrosion-resistant titanium heat exchanger, the solution achieves highly efficient cooling using a naturally available resource.
Each enclosure was designed to handle up to 48 kW heat load with built-in circulation pumps, coordinated by a centralized SMART pumping group.
Each skid was fully assembled, tested, and commissioned before delivery, minimizing on-site installation work and reducing deployment time. The modular design also allows additional skid units to be added easily as power capacity becomes available.
The solution was designed to take full advantage of locally available renewable energy while creating opportunities for future waste-heat recovery. By bringing compute infrastructure directly to the energy source, the project demonstrates an efficient and scalable approach to deploying high-density digital infrastructure in remote locations.
We developed Dry Coolers and plumbing that are -20°C ready, engineered for maximum efficiency in cold-weather conditions.
The main pump system 2 × 5.6 kW was engineered to support advanced modes for temperature control, pressure management and full-speed peak operation.
Systems which DCX delivers enable small, medium-sized size and large operations to operate better, having higher performance (hash rate). Professional operators can overclock the mining machine, thus providing quicker ROI and better TCO for a mining operation. The immersion system developed by DCX protects expensive hardware from hot or humid climates or freezing temperatures, enabling efficient cooling for cryptomining operations in different areas of the globe, including South America and the Middle East.
One of the significant advantages of DCX Immersion Mining Systems is the reuse of heat, which enables additional cost savings when purchasing heat rejection devices (dry coolers) and allows for sustainable, effective heat utilization for facility heating or other industrial applications.
Immersion cooling delivers efficient heat dissipation and enables full recovery of the heat produced. Give rest heat new life and reuse it to heat up your house, swimming pool, green house or an entire hotel. The possibilities are limitless.
Thanks to the built-in heat exchanger and pump, Bitpod captures heat generated by the miners and redirects it back to wherever you need it! Enjoy 40-50°C water to warm up your house, swimming pool or green house. You decide.
The dry cooler rejects any surplus heat that cannot be absorbed by the pool or building, ensuring system stability. Meanwhile, the BitPod maximizes efficiency by redirecting recovered heat to where it’s needed—turning IT-generated heat into a valuable energy resource.
