240-Slot Hydro Bitcoin Mining Farm Across Rural Texas
Project Description
Running 12 liquid-cooled units in parallel under 105°F (40°C+) Texas summer heat carried a severe engineering risk: fluid flow decay causing localized chip burnout. To establish this 16.8MW hydro bitcoin mining farm, the operator deployed 12 units of our 1.4MW 240-Slot Antminer Hydro Cooling Container 20FT HQ, providing capacity for up to 2,880 hydro ASIC miners across a multi-row grid.
Arranged in parallel rows on concrete strip pads, each 20-foot enclosure connects directly to an adjacent dry cooler. Internally, oversized large-diameter hydronic manifolds eliminate pressure drops across the server bays. This balanced CDU circuitry maintains uniform coolant velocity, ensuring identical delta-T across active hashboards without requiring manual re-balancing as miner density scales.
Throughout prolonged Central Texas heatwaves peaking above 40°C, the facility handled continuous high thermal loads with zero pump cavitation or thermal throttling. The self-regulating closed loops kept supply temperatures stable regardless of bay occupancy, proving that modular 20FT hydro containers can reliably stabilize multi-megawatt hash rates under extreme ambient heat.
