2.1 Purpose of the product With the Ofen, 21energy provides a new type of fan heater on the market, which is essentially operated with the waste heat from information technology devices, in particular with the waste heat from Bitcoin miners. For this purpose, used Bitcoin miners that have already been introduced to the EEA are used, which are mounted in a specially designed metal housing.
Bitcoin miners and their power supply units sold by 21energy GmbH are, as mentioned at the beginning, used devices. These are cleaned by 21energy GmbH and fitted with new fans. The fans can be replaced in accordance with the Bitcoin Miner manufacturer's operating instructions. The fans on the Bitcoin Miners themselves are replaced by loosening four screws per fan and unplugging the connection cable.

Make sure that you are connected to the same network as your Bitcoin heater with your Mac Book. Download the free "LanScan" app and scan your local network. Go through the list of devices. One device should be called "miner". Make a note of the miner's IP address for the next step. Operation manual Ofen Version 1.0 / 04.2024...

At the beginning of this process, the miner only uses around 80% of the set power target. This is normal and over time the miner will ramp up to the power target. Operation manual Ofen Version 1.0 / 04.2024...
Fan adjustment and noise level optimization With its Antminer S9 and solid housing, the 21energy Ofen has a high mass. Shortly after switching on the Ofen, all components are still cold and warm up during operation. The fans of the Antminer S9 are set at the factory to cool the chips installed on the hashboards to 79°C.

The fan speed depends on the ambient temperature in which the Ofen is operated and the resistance. The resistance can increase over time if there is too much dust in the dust filter on the underside of the Ofen. For this reason, it should be cleaned regularly (the interval depends on the level of dust in the environment in which the Ofen is operated).
Page 33
For example, if the fans of the Ofen oscillate between 28 and 32%, you can also set the fans to a constant 35%. Many people will find the slightly higher but constant noise level more pleasant than the oscillation between 28 and 32%.

80°C. This is the maximum temperature that the Bitcoin Ofen can currently reach. Example: You set up the 21energy Ofen in your home and start up the Ofen at 19°C. The maximum expected temperature in your home is 25°C, for example. This means that it is currently 6°C colder than the maximum expected ambient temperature.

This means that you are rewarded with the use of the Braiins Pool every 300 minutes on average for operating the 21energy Bitcoin Ofen. From time to time, no block from this pool is found for much longer and sometimes much more frequently. This balances out over time and has a negligible effect on the total reward over a longer period of time.
It is strongly recommended that the appliance is serviced regularly in accordance with the following points in order to operate the appliance as efficiently and for as long as possible. The appliance must not be opened by unauthorized persons. If something does not work, please contact 21energy GmbH. •...
