Actually, I lied a question just came up. I was wondering, with the dual thermostat zone valve setup, if my home heating system uses a heat pump, would turning on the air conditioning also turn on the valve? In this situation, would I have to somehow detect when the pump is not running O (Reverse)? Am I right and is there a type of valve that can do that?

Great question...with the heat pump, this introduces a bit of complexity and there's a couple different ways this can work. I think I'd need to understand a little more about how your existing setup is configured. If you want, get a hold of me on telegram: t.me/HBIM_Channel I think we can figure out what might be the best option.

Good question. Nominally, the model uses 3100 W (manufacturer's number). So for 24 hours that would be 3.1x24 = 74.4 kWh. But...with the Braiins OS, the power use is ramped up or down depending on autotuning and power scaling. My miners have always been run with power scaling so I really don't have my own numbers.

you are not engineering this correctly because the dryer has a heating element that you are trying to heat with air. This heating element needs to be connected by metal to your sk19. The source of the heat is metal, but you are trying to transfer air to heat a heating element. This will not work. it doesn't matter how fast the air blows, the heat will back up cause it's not leaving its source fast enough. Keep working on it. I want to see the final result.

you would think that if the miner can only run up to 85 degrees than thats about the temperatiure you can pump intoo the dryer transfered from the oil still 85 degrees is hotter than the ambient air so the electric part of the dryer can switch off sooner (they usually measure the airtemperature and the machine continues once the set limit is reached ) you basicly keep all the hookups in the dryer stock and just tap intoo the heater coil to trigger a relay to start the miner setup then run the hot fluid straight from the miner trough a large coil of copper tubing bend around the inside drum and outer shell now because the dryer needs more heat the fluids comming out will probably be hotter than they came in so you would need a bigger radiator to cool it back down to ambiant to send it back intoo the mining rig it might be a better idea to just hook the dryer up to youre central heating network that allready gets heated by youre mining operation the machine connected to the network with a home radiator style thermostatvalve or an electricly operated valve running of the electricity out of the dryer , and use the stack of radiators you have now without all the current mining stuff connected to it to heat the air going in , might need to resolder the pipe connections so the radiators flowing paralel instead of in series (you want all of them as hot as you can get them and as mush flow of hot water you can push through them for the most efficiency ) , you managed to controll the miners temperatures hooked up to the heating so that should work up to a point (still need more heat for drying and you might need to increase the hashrate on those miners during drying to keep the heat as high as it is without the dryer running unless you have a heatbuffer build intoo the system) you might still need to add an electric heater inside the dryer to help along with the mining heat put intoo the machine might need to experiment with airflow too , think more flow would help the hot air get through the big lump of wet laundry inside the spinning drum and remove the moist air out faster helping the laundry to dry out as for the s19 in its homemade tank ...... just let it pump fluid in and out of youre big mining tank (piggyback) , should do ok then as long as its not too hot outside for the radiator of that system to loose the extra heat generated by the extra miner

@@nickdaniels7593 Good question...so when my dryer is running normally, the current draw is always the same regardless of low/medium/high setting. The difference is duty cycle...at the low and medium settings, the heating element is turned on/off during the drying cycle. When I run the dryer in 'air dry mode', the heating element is off all the time. The difference is 25 amps when element on and 22 amps when element is off. The remaining 3 amps is used by the motor which spins the drum and spins the dryer fan. ...I learned a lot about how dryers work on this project, LOL.

@@nickdaniels7593 that is a fantastic idea! If you have 6-8 hours of water flow, you can run it through a BPHE to cool the miner. Depending on flow rates, you might also be able to use an indirect water heater 'backwards'. The miner constantly dumps its heat to the water heater, but then your irrigation setup cools it down periodically...you might be able to keep your miner running non-stop this way.

Bob! this is exactly what I'm trying to do as well. I'm figuring for more commercial. have you thought of down/under clocking the miner as well to reduce the air flow and temp? you could have one exhaust to outside and one piped into the dryer. I've also thought of using a timer at the wall that both the dryer and miner are plugged into so they power on at the same time and run as long as the dryer is set then they both turn off. this would need another mm board or something similar. Your idea with immersion is awesome too, I'm thinking air cooled. but then, i have the issue of noise (somewhat) and excess air that's not going into the dryer. Working it this way, I'd pull out the heating element and keep the tumble feature. I'd also like it to be coin-op. Such an awesome idea and way to make older miners profitable again. Imagine even charging customers 50-75 cents per hour .... that makes most miners 3-4x more profitable. aaaand it saves the customers a lot of money being that most charge 1.50 + per hour. Immersion I think would be a lot cleaner a look and cooler temps, way less noise. Like you said, it's just the airflow. maybe once it reaches a certain pressure/cfm the air would vent elsewhere or be sent to cool in a roundabout way. -a small laundromat with maybe 6 washers and 6 dryers is what I'm thinking of, I appreciate your work and the thought you put into your projects! it's all helped me alot at home

Heat pump is installed for 20-25 year lifetime. Your miner will Be obsolete in 3-5 (mostly 3) if you live in an expensive electricity area. How much is the cost of a miner? Also does the cost of a miner make sense if you only run it during cold weather

Thanks for the comment...and you bring up good, valid points. Previous generations of miners indeed didn't last that long, but as i covered in my miner efficiency episode, the turn-over in miner efficiency is slowing down. For example...the s19 design is going on 4 years old and some models are still very profitable. There are folks using S9s for space heating (see CryptoCloaks' website for examples). I'm very curious how long the latest s21-class miners will stay profitable (maybe > 10 years??)...and who knows what comes after that! We are definitely early and miner heating is currently driven by us hobby-ists who are having fun building and showing proof-of-concept...but if the prevailing trends hold, I think there will be a time down the road where mining-based heating will make a ton of sense over the long run. An average furnace/heat pump costs several thousand dollars...I think there may be a time years from now where a miner-based furnace is just another competitive long-term option to chose from. That's one of the main purposes of the channel...to push the technology and show what could be done. Think the late 1970s in personal computers or 1950-60s with performance add-ons for cars...early tinkering leads to innovation leads to commercially viable products for the average user. We don't know what is possible until we try...and when we learn what is possible, we can build on that and try again 🙂. Some of these ideas will definitely be failures...but some will work. We have to try them all to find out!

What I would add to that is that older miners can be obtained quite cheap. People tend to look at them only in term of bitcoin rewards vs electricity usage. If you count in the heat provided, the whole game is different. Question is not wether you can heat for free. But a lot cheaper than with alter alternatives. But I do agree with a bitcoin miner for heating for your calculations its good to have a horizon of a few years. If you can, invest in solar energy for your home. Will also make businesscase more favourable.

Great question...my understanding is that Fog Hashing is just re-selling Shell S3 X fluid...but I'd ask them to confirm. If true, you can't get S3 X in small quantities, so you'd have to go back to them to ask for more fluid. As for mixing...I've seen this question posted on other forums and the response has been "Don't know...but it shouldn't be a problem". People generally just buy a single fluid and use it, so info here is scarce. Maybe the thing to do is to take a small amount of both fluids in a small plastic container and microwave/heat it up. If nothing happens, you're good to go...might save you from destroying your entire supply.

When you stay within the Braiins Pool/OS ecosystem, they only drop the pool fee. With a bitmain miner, you have to use an aftermarket OS or you loose up to 20% efficiency gains. By waiving their pool fee, Braiins is pulling more people into their pool. More people = more blocks = more consistent block rewards

Can't help but think a PRV (pressure relief valve) installed on the return side of the radiator, relieving back into the return line after the thermostatic valve would be a good safety measure to prevent over-pressurizing the radiator if there's not enough heat transfer to cool the return liquid and allow for the thermostatic valve to open. I'm assuming a circulation pump is used to move the heated liquid around the house and therefore you might be causing deadheading of the pump causing pre-mature failure of the pump if return flow is restricted. *I can say with complete ignorance, I haven't watched the videos showing the rest of your setup yet, so forgive me if you've mitigated this elsewhere.*
@HBIM_Channel
@HBIM_Channel 3 ай бұрын
Great comment...very obvious you know a bit about hydronic systems 🙂. The way I've designed the system is the main fluid flow is through a larger loop containing the main dry cooler. This loop is sized to prevent deadheading of the pump, or overheating of my miners. This is the 'normal' operation of the system. The garage heater in this video is a lower-resistance bypass of this main loop with the thermostatic valve regulating how much fluid goes through this bypass path. When it is mostly closed, the main loop takes all the flow (normal operation) and when it is open, more fluid goes through the lower resistance bypass which is easier for the pump. In either case, the system keeps fluid flowing and the pump happy (and my miners cool).
