Deployment Case Study: 364-Slot Antminer Hydro Mining Container

Project Description

The client secured 21MW of substation capacity near Dubai, but their plot was too narrow for standard containers with separate ground radiator yards. To solve the space constraint, we supplied 10 units of our 2.1MW 364-Slot Antminer Hydro Cooling Container 40FT HQ. Mounting the cooling units directly on the container roofs allowed all 3,640 miner slots to fit onto a single concrete apron.

Because UAE labor regulations restrict outdoor work during extreme midday summer heat, having internal switchgear, cabling, and hydraulic pumps pre-assembled at the factory was critical. On site, field work was strictly limited to craning the units onto footings, landing transformer feeds, and filling the water loops. The entire ten-container plant reached energization in eight weeks.

Since entering operation, the site has run continuously through summer ambient highs of 48°C (118°F). The closed-loop rooftop coolers keep supply water temperatures below 38°C, preventing chip down-clocking across all 3,640 hydro miners while holding the overall site PUE steady at 1.04.
