Technology
Heat is the by-product. Energy is the product.
Intensive computing turns most of its electricity into heat. ThermaNode captures that heat at the source and puts it back to work.

Four stages, one loop
Components
What is inside a unit
Heat capture stage
Direct liquid cooling loops and air heat exchangers collect high-grade heat from racks and industrial hardware.
Conversion stage
The ThermaNode converter turns thermal output into electrical energy, or redirects it as heat to HVAC and facility systems.
Control and telemetry
Every unit reports temperatures, recovery rates and power flows over the meshnet for monitoring and optimisation.
Where the recovered energy goes
Three ways to use it
Back to the rack
Offset the power draw of the compute that produced the heat.
Facility HVAC and heating
Redirect thermal output into building heating and hot-water systems.
Grid or storage
Export secondary energy or store it for peak periods.
Impact
Facility energy, before and after
Illustrative comparison. Measured figures will be published from prototype deployments.
Without ThermaNode
Heat vented
Cooling consumes power to remove heat that is then wasted. PUE stays high.
With ThermaNode
Heat recovered
Heat becomes secondary energy or facility heating. Energy cost and PUE fall.
