“ It makes sense to use immersion in Texas as it can get very hot there so fan cooling would be inefficient and very expensive (extra MW required for cooling system/fans on top of miner requirement). Immersion has the advantage that it reduces the electricity requirements for both the mining and the cooling system, whilst allowing overclocking.
I don't believe immersion has been done at this scale before - could be wrong, please correct me! However I see this as Argo's key differentiator, and will allow us to get to the top.”
We have already lined up the ducks!!
We poached an immersion specialist from Compute North, where Jean Esquier had only worked for nine months, before moving to ARGO.
“ Jean Esquier will oversee Compute North’s engineering research and development for continuous improvement of the company’s infrastructure, including projects for modular container design and immersion for ASIC and GPUs. Prior to joining Compute North, Jean worked for multiple blockchain companies, most recently as the Chief Operating Officer for colocation company Savage IO. Jean has a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Geology from the University of Rochester, and a Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Southern California, with a focus in Smart Sensors, Data Mining, and Advanced Operations with Remote Visualization and Control.”
ps Jean is founder and president of Synos. Useful guy to have on the team.
“ Synos Corp and its partners provide its clients with project management and consulting services for manufacturing processes, raw material logistics and sourcing, and general business issues that arise with international projects between the US and China.”
