Case Study:

Heating a Greenhouse with Upstream Data’s Black Box™

SUMMARY

In this case study we outline the application of Upstream Data’s patent pending Black Box™ to safely, quietly and reliably mine bitcoin as source of heat to displace conventional electrical heating within the context of a multi-acre greenhouse operation.

PROBLEM / GOAL

Install a bitcoin mining heating source at a multi-acre greenhouse c/w:

  • Minimizing the cost per kilowatt for electrical distribution and miner housing within a weather-resistant environment.
  • Minimal modifications to existing facilities.
  • Sound attenuation (< 60db).
  • Portable / temporary deployment.
  • Simple installation & maintenance
  • Withstand Florida climate

SOLUTION

Upstream Data shipped 4x 8ft (12-miner ea.) Black Boxes to customer’s greenhouse located in Davie, Florida.

  • Sound attenuated to < 55db
  • Project totaling ~ $125/kW delivered c/w with 8x 6-port 240V single phase PDUs
  • Minimal disturbance to customer’s facility
  • Pre-installed low voltage PDUs allowed for ease of installation and service compatibility
  • Reliable mining heat & high uptime to date

The BlackBox was the ideal product for our all-weather deployment. It was cost-effective, easy to install + reuse heat from server exhaust, and has performed as-advertised. A great way to house bitcoin servers anywhere. ”
