Facility Power & Thermal Efficiency Audit Clinic

Workshop Scope & Engineering Focus

Operating modern ASIC hash boards requires navigating narrow margins dictated by instantaneous hash prices and seasonal power tariffs. In this workshop, participants work directly with live diagnostic instrumentation and detailed unit-cost spreadsheets to replace speculative estimates with measured electrical and thermal data.

Target Audience

Site engineers, master electricians, and datacenter technicians optimizing electrical efficiency and airflow dynamics.

Core Practical Outcomes

Identify parasitic power draws in auxiliary ventilation fans and auxiliary power supplies
Calculate required static pressure and cubic feet per minute (CFM) across air-cooled rack rows
Conduct thermal infrared surveys on busbars, circuit breakers, and power cords under continuous load
Compare capital payback timelines between forced-air, evaporative cooling, and dielectric fluid immersion

Detailed Session Modules

Part 1: 3-Phase Electrical Load Auditing

Harmonics measurement, neutral line load balancing, and transformer derating under non-linear switched-mode power supplies (SMPS).

Part 2: Aerodynamics & Heat Exchanger Diagnostics

Anemometer air velocity measurements, preventing hot air recirculation, negative pressure mitigation, and intake louvre design.
