ZAI-750 · a concept by ZAI Digital Infrastructure

Energy at the source. Compute on site.

Immersion-cooled mining.
Bitcoin and Zcash, designed together.

ZAI-750 concept cutaway at a Permian gas site: gold Bitcoin and blue Zcash immersion tanks, visible piping and an external heat-rejection unit.

One ZAI concept · two mining streams

Immersion cooling at the core.

Mining hardware immersed in dielectric fluid, with heat carried to an external cooling loop.

Target concept balance. The allocation basis and final equipment sizing will be defined in engineering.

Start with the gas — and the evidence.

Flow, composition, pressure, access and gas-use rights need direct confirmation. Historical production alone does not establish a usable supply.

Environmental design approach

Use energy carefully.
Make the result measurable.

Energy at its source, immersion at the hardware, and evidence behind every environmental claim.

Evaluate gas at its source.

Identify whether gas otherwise flared or vented could support useful on-site generation. Supply, rights and the existing emissions baseline need site evidence.

Carry heat in a cooling loop.

Dielectric fluid takes heat from the mining hardware to an external cooling system. Pumps, heat rejection and fluid management are part of the design.

Measure the full system.

Compare the site baseline with generator emissions, methane leakage and total energy use. Record water use and cooling-fluid handling before claiming a benefit.

These are design objectives, not measured ZAI-750 outcomes. Immersion cooling alone does not establish a lower environmental impact; any claim requires a defined comparison and site measurements.

Energy-cost target

The 498.3 kW figure describes the earlier reference fleet; it does not validate the new 50/50 allocation target. Final immersion-compatible equipment, layout and loads require engineering validation within the operating cap. BTC and ZEC performance are measured separately; this target does not establish equal power consumption, machine counts or returns. No ZAI-750 installation is operating yet.

How a pilot gets built

  1. Step 1
    Qualify the siteConfirm gas flow, composition and pressure through site evidence; confirm access, rights and applicable approvals.
  2. Step 2
    Design togetherBTC and ZEC fleet allocation, immersion cooling and auxiliaries sized as one system within the 681.8 kW cap.
  3. Step 3
    Accept on evidenceSafety, metered complete load and pool-accepted work checked against agreed tests.
  4. Step 4
    Repeat what worksPilot results decide the next sites and refine the design.
