District heating networks consume significant energy — and pay for every kilowatt-hour. Kefos installs liquid-cooled computing infrastructure adjacent to the network and delivers recovered thermal energy directly into it, at a fixed price, with no capital outlay required from the utility.
Our hydro-cooled containers use a liquid cooling loop that captures nearly all of the thermal energy generated by mining hardware. Rather than expelling this heat into the environment, the loop connects directly to your district heating network's return pipe.
The recovered heat works in tandem with your existing boilers — Kefos supplies the base load at a fixed contracted rate, while your boilers handle top-up when demand exceeds what the mining containers deliver. This interplay is accounted for in the commercial arrangement, and requires no changes to your existing infrastructure.
The mining operator sells heat to the municipality at a contracted rate — typically well below the cost of conventional boiler fuel — creating a direct financial relationship independent of Bitcoin prices.
Adjust system capacity, boiler cost, supply temperatures and monthly demand to model projected annual savings for your district heating network.
