Abstract
A portable blockchain mining system is disclosed comprising: a portable building; a plurality of blockchain mining processors mounted within, or a plurality of blockchain mining processor mounts located within, an interior of the portable building; an air inlet defined in the portable building; an air outlet defined in the portable building above the air inlet and oriented to direct exhaust air out of the portable building; and a cooling fan connected to convey air through the air inlet, across the plurality of blockchain mining processors and out the air outlet.
Claims35
A portable blockchain mining system comprising:
- a portable building;
- a plurality of blockchain mining processors mounted within an interior of the portable building;
- an air inlet defined in the portable building;
- an air outlet defined in at least one side wall of the portable building above the air inlet and oriented to direct exhaust air out of the portable building;
- a cooling fan connected to convey air through the air inlet, across the plurality of blockchain mining processors and out the air outlet;
- and
- an exhaust guide mounted to an exterior of, or forming part of, the at least one side wall and adjacent to the air outlet;
- in which the exhaust guide is configurable between:
- an upward position where the exhaust guide directs the exhaust air in an upward direction;
- and
- a recirculation position where the exhaust guide directs the exhaust air in a downward direction toward the air inlet.
A method comprising:
- operating a plurality of blockchain mining processors mounted within an interior of a portable building;
- and
- operating a cooling fan to convey air in sequence:
- through an air inlet into the interior of the portable building;
- across the plurality of blockchain mining processors;
- and
- out of the portable building through an air outlet that is above the air inlet, in which an exhaust guide is mounted to an exterior of, or forms part of, a side wall of the portable building and adjacent to the air outlet, in which the exhaust guide is configurable between:
- an upward position where the exhaust guide directs the air in an upward direction;
- and
- a recirculation position where the exhaust guide directs the air in a downward direction toward the air inlet.
