Title: mining room cooling. hvac vent to outside.
Post by: ssmokeyy on January 21, 2018, 07:15:45 PM
So my mining system is in a furnace room in the house. Its in the basement and center of the house. So this winter are hvac has not turned on at all. So my thinking is to add a y pipe to the 3-4 inch hvac line from the furnace. I'm thinking about using a 738 cfm hvac 8 inch fan to transfer heat from the room to the outside. So the miners are in a corner of the room. 4 feet by 7 feet. The walls all ready block off 2.5 sides So I'm thinking to get 3/4 inch mdf to seal in the final walls. than add a roof to it to try to trap in the heat the most I can. Thinking to add 2 cut outs in the side close to the door that has venting to outside the room. I would add filters to these cut outs to filter the air.  Links of some parts I'm thnking about.

Lots of metal tape to seal up leaks.     Final part im thinking might be a good idea to go from the 8 inch in to 4 inch in witha  y duct so i can have two points of inlet air   Is my plan sound or will it not remove the heat from the miners?

I can recommend to check a list of heating and cooling constructors https://servicewhale.com/heating-and-cooling-contractors (https://servicewhale.com/heating-and-cooling-contractors). I found a good company ServiceWhale there. These guys really know their work and can give a good piece of advice. They installed a heating and colling system in my house. Hopefully, this information will be useful and helpful for you!
