Can Data Centers Be Sources of Sustainable Heat? Data centers support the modern technologies we rely on but also generate incredible amounts of heat as waste. And since computers tend to be very sensitive to heat, operators go to great lengths (and expense) to get rid of it, even relocating to countries with lower year-round average temperatures. But what if we could harness it instead of letting all that heat disappear into thin air? How Much Heat Does a Data Center Produce? To understand how much heat we’re talking about, imagine a mid-sized cryptocurrency operation with 1,000 of the most energy-efficient mining rigs on the market today, the Antminer S21 Hydro. One of these rigs needs 5,360 watts of power, which adds up to 47 MWh over a year. Multiply that by 1,000 and you end up with over 160 billion BTU, which is enough energy to heat over 4,600 U.S. homes for a year, or if it happens to be Oscar season, enough heat to pop 463,803 metric tons of popcorn. Less if you want melted butter on it. How Waste Heat Recycling Works? At a high level, waste heat is recaptured and transferred via heat exchangers to district heating networks, for example, where it can be used to provide sustainable heat. Cool air is then returned to the data center and the cycle begins again. Liquid cooling is by far the most efficient means of recapturing and transporting heat since water can hold roughly four times as much heat as air. Data centers worldwide are already recycling their waste heat to farm trout in Norway, heat research facilities in the U.S., and heat swimming pools in France. A Greener Future for Data Centers? New regulations may make waste heat recycling mandatory for data centers. In the Netherlands, Amsterdam and Haarlemmermeer require new data centers to explore recycling waste heat. Norway mandates it for all new data centers above 2 MW, while Denmark offers incentives. The EU Energy Efficiency Directive will also require data centers to recycle waste heat from late 2023. HIVE Digital Provides Sustainable Heat HIVE Digital recycles waste heat from data centers in Canada and Sweden. The 30 MW center in Lachute heats a 200,000 sq. ft. factory, while the 32 MW center in Boden heats a 90,000 sq. ft. greenhouse. This provides local produce sustainably, just one degree short of the Arctic Circle.#efficiency #sustainableenergy #sustainabledesign #datacenter #engineeringexcellence #fmcgindustry #powerengineering #recyclingmatters
