MINING HEAT · PHT ENERGY TECHNOLOGY

Your heating system can mine.

Compute Bitcoin. Make hot water. PHT delivers the heat from a water-cooled miner exactly where your building can use it.

ONE ENERGY FLOW · TWO USEFUL OUTPUTS

How computing power becomes hot water.

Four components connect Bitcoin mining to your heating system.

Miner, heat exchanger, buffer tank and hot-water use
MinerHeat exchangerTankHot water
01

Power

Solar surplus or deliberately released energy.

02

Miner

Computing power is created — and so is heat.

03

Heat exchanger

Heat is transferred safely into the building circuit.

04

Storage

For hot water, heating, pools or process heat.

BITCOIN HEAT IN EVERYDAY LIFE

What can Bitcoin heat do?

Much more than heating.

Hot water, washing machine, pool and heat pump using recovered computing heat

Showers & hot water

Store and use computing heat

Washing & dishwashing

Supply suitable appliances with hot water

Pool & wellness

Cover long, steady heat demand

Heat pump

Support suitable temperature tasks

MINER + HEAT PUMP

Two heat sources. Each doing the job it does best.

The heat pump is particularly efficient at low and medium temperatures. The miner can support hot water, the upper storage zone or other higher-temperature tasks.

  • Heat pump for efficient base supply
  • Miner for computing heat and targeted storage charging
  • Joint control based on heat demand and available power
Planned realistically

Hydraulics, temperatures and the building profile determine the right division of work.

LINES THAT STICK

Bitcoin on the network. Heat in the tank.

Solar power that does more.

Wash with Bitcoin heat.

SUITABILITY CHECK

When mining heat becomes especially interesting

The better the power supply and heat demand match, the more useful the system can be.

  • Solar surplus or deliberately available electricity
  • Buffer tank or a suitable storage solution
  • Demand for hot water, pool or process heat
  • Heat pump, immersion heater or commercial application

PHT checks heat demand, hydraulics, connection and economics — without promising returns.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Short, clear and honest

Can every washing machine use miner heat?

No. Suitable machines need an approved hot-water connection or a professionally designed pre-feed solution. Permitted inlet temperature, wash programmes, hygiene and manufacturer specifications must be respected.

Does the miner replace a heat pump?

Usually not completely. A heat pump can provide several kilowatt-hours of heat from one kilowatt-hour of electricity. A miner produces roughly one heat kWh per electricity kWh plus variable Bitcoin computing revenue. In the right system, the two can complement each other.

What happens in summer when there is no heat demand?

The controller reduces or stops the miner when no useful heat sink is available. A pool, hot-water demand or process heat can provide additional summer use.

Are mining returns guaranteed?

No. Returns change with the Bitcoin market, network, hardware efficiency, pool, availability and costs. PHT therefore evaluates the overall benefit of computing, genuinely used heat and the electricity alternative.

MINING REVENUE + USEFUL HEAT

What does the system produce in real numbers?

Example using a water-cooled premium miner: eight operating hours with genuine solar surplus and simultaneous useful heat demand.
