You could get a water to water plate heat exchanger and pump the pool water and mineral oil/whatever through it, they cost $150 at most for the good ones, like this one for $140 on amazon. and all you'd need after buying that is a pump for mineral oil and a pump for the pool water. Good luck!
hi, you need to buy 4pin fan emulators... like this: https://www.amazon.com.mx/simuladores-abanico-pines-Bitmain-Antminer/dp/B09Z6HTPZX/
I personally use the DCX brand and they have worked well for me so far.
I hope this information help you..
I'd also like to hear other people's experience here. From what I gather, most people just run the fans non-stop. I think that probably works well for most people, but I wonder about winter/freezing temps and how it could affect the immersion fluid and miners.
I worked through a design (but have not been able to test in a working system yet) which is to use a programmable wifi temp switch with temp probe in the fluid in the tank (www.amazon.com/dp/B09QRM8GSM), a couple control relays and a fan speed rheostat to run a sort of 2-stage fan cooling option. This also allows me to remotely monitor the tank temp.
The wifi temp switch would monitor the temps. At the first set point (say 20C) the fan would run at 50%. If the temps continue to rise (say 50C) it will trigger the second stage and run the fan at full speed (bypassing the speed control). If the temps drop below a set-point in the fluid (10C) it would shut the fan off altogether. Similar to the second stage fan cooling in a car's radiator. I'm not sure if any of this is even needed, but its stuff like this that keeps me up at night.
There are also inexpensive non-smart temperature control option on Amazon. (www.amazon.com/W3001-Temperature-Controller-diymore-Thermostat/dp/B09Q2WG2BF)
so this Heater Outdoor Furnace Boiler (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4CAJLQ/ref=cm\_sw\_r\_apan\_i\_HQW9DV4B4N0ZJCMCQXPF?\_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) is the cooling unit to cool off the entire fluid within the tank? all left is the fluid pump to perform the fluid circulation correct?
i want to build a 8 S19 tank, how much fluid would i need? thanks in advance
My fluid leaving the tank (includes the heat from the miner) is generally around 52-57 degree C. (125-134 degree F) this is the temp of the fluid run through a radiator with a fan (here is what I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4CAJLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_HQW9DV4B4N0ZJCMCQXPF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) when placed outside rejects all the heat outside. Because that is hotter than the outside air no tricks are needed. It rejects the heat outside. No need to mess with pressures. And the power is minimal. A small pump and a small fan. (Note you have to make sure to use materials compatible with the fluid) Also there are other options to use this heat for heating water, such as for as with a solar water heater or heat a pool. I hope to implement this later this year.
Yes it’s a good idea - thought about it - but made of plastic and thinking the BTU my S19’s provide - I went to this: VEVOR Drop in Ice Chest 28''L x 14''W x 17''H Drop in Cooler Stainless Steel with Hinged Cover Bar Ice Bin 65.4 qt Drain-pipe and Drain Plug Included for Cold Wine Beer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099HV9XCQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BYC21DVVF8X01D25R7ZJ
A question I was wondering too when I started. I’ve been using this below cable for a couple months with no issues in Bitcool 888.

Round 2, would run a inlet through the bottom drain, main concern would be a easy leak point. Could place the sink in a containment tank. Any thoughts and ideas are much appreciated.
Ok, so just to update everyone; I did figure it out.
Fan Emulator's do not work on the CK5, At least not the amazon ones.
When I dip the CK5 into the liquid, I have to dismount all the fans (PSU Fans as well) and keep them above the liquid so that they can spin at their proper speeds. It is only this way that I am able to have the miner submerged in the tub. If I would have known this is the only way for me to get the miners to work, I doubt that I would have dipped the CK5.
​
The temps aren't much lower even though I have a 1/2 Horespower Everbilt sump pump connected using 1" Pex Piping. I think my radiator should be more than great for the task so my assumption is that if I went with a bigger pipe to get better flow, the temps would be much better due to circulation being better, but I can't say for sure yet.

This is my radiator

There's a few different sizes and the material doesn't compress too well. Gotta make sure you get the appropriate thickness.
Yeah I actually developed a hairline crack that slowly leaked so that's why the switch. It sure is aesthetically nice to have the glass tank, but probably not worth it.
This is the kettle that I bought. I am running an s19j pro 104th in it. It's nice too because it has the valve at the bottom which can be used for draining if you need to clean or replace it etc.
Hi, I have two ck5 that I want to immerse and I will be more serene if it really works ... What type of spoofer uses you ? This one ? https://www.amazon.com/Simulator-Emulators-Submersion-Assembled-Eliminator/dp/B07KTYT55S
So my old setup had a metal tank and still had build up. But it took about a week. Even I started using 2 miners in the tank, it was less than one day.
I’m using this one. Has worked perfect. No static whatsoever.
This is the radiator CoolingCare 2 Row Aluminum... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FZW6QRJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I have 3/4” line going to inlet and outlet pipes. That smaller under the cap is for if it overheats of course. The one I have capped is right next to the “hot in” pipe. Tomorrow I might unplug it and attach a longer hose. See what it does.
Yup, thanks for the link to the exact product very helpful. I have a HDPE (plastic) tank with improvised walls made with plastic bonder. Would definitely go aluminum next time.
I don't have as many kW to cool as you yet, but I'm just using a 20"x20" water radiator + fan, rated for 190k BTU assuming sufficient airflow. radiator
Note that I don't know how well this actually works yet, but in theory you could get multiple of these with fans outside and eventually have enough heat dissipating capacity. I'm not an engineer by any stretch, so there's probably a better way especially considering your scale.
No, it's not linked. But here it is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C8L2HQ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was wrong, it's an FKM seal, which will also do the job no problem.
Hey thank you for your reply! Indeed I would need to do some more research for the flow I would be getting from my pool pump. However I was planning on just splitting the output of the pump in two so I would still have flow going to my pool. Also I found a better immersed pump that would maybe be better for my use case it has a 13000l/h rate which is much better however I’m not sure how to know if the Bitcool viscosity isn’t to high for it and can’t find the materials use so my corroded with the fluid. Here is the reference: Black+Decker BXUP250PCE Pompe Submersible pour Eaux Claires (250 W, Débit max. 6000 l/h, Hauteur d'élévation 6 m) https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07B4DKC1V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_3WYHH337KPAX0GJAXEKN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
As I’m planning to go for the Bitcool fluid from what they say it doesn’t react to any metals so I should be good on this side.
Indeed for summer I was planning on getting the DCX dry cooler as I can’t seem to be able to find a good dry cooler to be delivered to France. Might go into DIYing my own radiator but I think I should first focus on the pool heating solution and then I’ll have more time to spend into radiators. Also creating a 20kW radiator doesn’t seem as easy as just cooling 7kW.
Pump: any hot water circulation pump with proper seals will do, I'm using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D53C4F6/ .
Radiator: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233246819962 - you are likely to need one of these per S19j you have.
I was just about to say to test your return fluid. You can also use a wire thermometer like THIS if you cannot find an infrared thermometer.
