The design of the flow control plate at the bottom of any immersion tank is really the most important part of any tank design, and its finally shape and form depends on a couple of things:
1) Total Coolant Flow Rate
2) Device that will be cooled and their shape and flow requirements
3) How the coolant will be injected into the tank and at what volume
For our SLICTanks, we have designed a Flow Control Plate that is specific for each time of miner that you may place in the tank. The holes in the plate are specifically designed to provide the maximum flow to each miner while balancing the the total flow amount all the miners in the tank. We have done a lot of Computational Fluid Dynamic Modeling using software to get this balancing act correct so as to ensure that each miner gets enough coolant to keep them operating at maximum efficiency.
We've invested heavily to get our flow plates optimized for each type of miner. Many of the competing tanks simply use holes in the bottom of the tank to disperse the coolant, however, we've found that are not as effective as our targeted flow designs based on our CFD analysis.
For a small number of devices, holes about 2-4mm in size are typically ok, but anything about 6 miners need some real design work to ensure they get sufficient Coolant flow.
