4-Stage Closed-Loop Thermodynamic Cycle

STAGE 1: MICROFLUIDIC EXTRACTION

Direct-to-chip copper microfluidic cold plates extract heat directly from GPU dies at 65°C without intermediate air cooling.

STAGE 2: THERMODYNAMIC LIFT

Industrial heat pumps elevate water temperature to 110°C with an audited 4.8 COP rating, enabling high-grade thermodynamic reuse.

STAGE 3: 120 MWh PARAFFIN PCM BUFFER

Phase Change Material buffers thermal surges, storing excess heat when electricity prices are low and releasing it during peak hours.

STAGE 4: ORC TURBINE REINJECTION

Organic Rankine Cycle generator reinjects clean power back into facility busbars while exporting hot hydronics to district heating.
