Title: How much BTUs does an Air Conditioner Require per KW of miners? Post by: adaseb on March 22, 2015, 01:02:28 PM Just preparing for the summer. Wondering what the typical BTUs are required per KW of miners.
Will a 10000 BTU airconditioner be fine for a 1000 Watt miner? Share some input. Title: Re: How much BTUs does an Air Conditioner Require per KW of miners?

Will a 10000 BTU airconditioner be fine for a 1000 Watt miner? Share some input. a watt is about 4 btu's http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/power/Watt_to_BTU.htm I round up it is more like 3.412. so you are putting out 3412 btu with that miner. so you should be able to cool the room down with a 10000 btu ac. unless you have cheap power it is very costly to ac a miner Title: Re: How much BTUs does an Air Conditioner Require per KW of miners?

I would agree exhust is cheaper if you can do it. Also some miners are hotter then others. For example the Dragon 1T blows very hot air out back. I think it's worst I have had on the heat.

Post by: alh on March 22, 2015, 08:05:54 PM While I have no doubt that some miners produce hotter "ehaust" air, from an AC point of view, all 1000W miners are created equal in terms of how much cooling is needed.

I got rid of it for summer. But the 1T dragon just spits out extreme hot air. I would argue different way's of dissipating such as heatsinks, fans, 1000 watts may be the same but some handle it better then other miners. |
