Title: Aintminer S9 setup in a garage? Please help
Post by: thienbao12a2 on November 21, 2017, 09:15:25 PM
Hi, I am new to mining, and I am going to buy some antminer S9. The plan is to place the miners in my roomy garage, but my garage isnt ACd, I live in Atlanta, GA USA so we have 10 cool - cold months which are from Oct to May, and June to Sep is really hot, temperature is usually around 80- 100F mostly 90F. My garage doesnt have any window, so it could be hot during the summer, ( not as hot as outside) but i can open up the ceiling of the garage, and run some flex duct from the miner's exhaust to the vent on the roof, so that the heat from the miners can be extracted outside of the house, but I am glueless about how i can install an intake fan to my garage, since there is no window at all. I cant really install a window, since it s my parents' house. but the garage does connect with the kitchen which is ACd, but that is not an option also, since it would be too loud and affect our activities. I was just wondering if I could make a fan and some cooper coil to  run iced water thru, in order for the fan to produce much cooler air and point the fan to the miner's intake, instead of installing a window. Please help, thank you :)

I think you can buy portable aircoin with 4k BTU will be enough or air cooler that you can put water and ice. its much cheaper.
But if you really wanted to make your own with DIY cooper coil tube with fan maybe this video could help  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6ORgHNvChw
For noise of your miner there is a method in youtube called noise reduction that can reduce the noise of your s9 miner.. check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbAjh5q1Tzw
And i think you can easily make your own just make the same as in video..
