1  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Mining water heater (large scale) on: October 02, 2017, 11:52:18 AM
Hi there

In the past some ideas have surfaced regarding using bitcoin miners as water heaters. I've searched the forum, as well as on google looking for someone who has a water heating product but I am yet to find the correct product. So I'm looking for recommendations in the forums. Is there anyone here that is experimenting with a water heater, immersion or other type, or knows of a company doing so?

We have gotten a big stream of cold water (around 4°C) and a buyer for the water at a higher temperature. Electricity price is also competitive in the region. We are looking at a rather large scale operation, 1MW+.  In theory  the miners should use less energy per hash due to lower cooling costs, and be able to sell the hot water as a secondary form of revenue. This should increase the profits significantly.

If anyone is doing something similar, please let us know.
