Facility Description:
Bixbit, also known as Big Star Mining, operates large-scale cryptocurrency mining facilities that are designed to house thousands of high-performance computing units dedicated to blockchain processing and cryptocurrency mining. A typical Big Star Mining campus spans several acres and includes multiple data center-style buildings, each filled with rows of servers and mining rigs. These facilities require substantial cooling and power infrastructure to maintain optimal operating conditions for the equipment. The central plant at a Big Star Mining campus typically has a cooling capacity ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 tons, depending on the size and intensity of the operations. The design of these campuses focuses on maximizing computational efficiency while minimizing energy consumption and costs.
Timberlake & Dickson Scope:
Timberlake & Dickson was responsible for furnishing multiple Evapco fluid coolers for the cooling systems serving this customer. This work involved selecting equipment that met the specific thermal transfer needs of the facility, ensuring compatibility with other systems, and coordinating their application to maintain the precise temperature control required for operations. The scope of work included providing comprehensive documentation and training to ensure the customer was equipped to effectively manage and maintain the equipment.
Notable facts:
Big Star Mining is heavily focused on cryptocurrency mining, specifically targeting major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which require significant computational power and consequent cooling capacities.
