Abstract
Thermal energy from a two-phase immersion-cooling system containing a computer system is operably coupled with a vapor-phase compressor, heat exchanger, pressure regulator, and controller, to provide thermal energy at an elevated temperature to drive a commercial process. The immersion-cooling system can advantageously be used to cool computer systems, Bitcoin miners, crypto miners or other thermal energy producing devices. The system operates by extracting vapor of the working fluid from the headspace of the immersion-cooling system, increasing the pressure and temperature of the extracted vapor by substantially isentropic compression, and then passing the high-pressure and high-temperature vapor to a heat exchanger, thereby providing thermal energy to the commercial process through heat transfer. Vapor from the heat exchanger is then cooled to a liquid phase, reduced in pressure, and returned to the tank of the immersion-cooling system.
