Notes -
I understand your design now, after you posted your drawing. And it also makes sense that the cooling/utilities system is going to be a small part of the overall project, so no need to waste time scrutinizing that part.
Have you considered what happens if there's a leak of coolant into the dielectric fluid? Or do you expect the piping to outlast the life of the installation?
Thank you! Good to hear I’m not off my rocker.
I have not considered the possibility of a coolant leak… It’s a good question. The idea was to bend the copper pipe such that the pipe in the coolant tank was one piece, with the connections being the only part that could leak, but you bring up a good question.
With that said, things are (hopefully temporarily) on pause. The Russian government’s new mining law came into effect on the first of November (yay, since that’s what legalizes this project) and they announced some upcoming mining location bans.
Boo, since they were not specific about exactly where mining would be banned. Right now I think we would be in the clear, but it doesn’t make sense to move forward until I’m certain. I don’t love sitting on my hands here.
