Title: Assitance in cooling down 20 S9
Post by: Tssar on January 23, 2018, 10:26:10 AM
Hi,

I own 20 S9, and currently I'm facing 2 issues! Noise and the heat. I'm building a place to better to control the inflow and the outflow

For those who managed to better control the heat/noise if you can guide me or help to resolve the challenge me that would be great.

Thanks,

Whats your current setup look like

What have you done so for so we can make suggestions

There are many ways to cool 20 miners

Check out this thread on ducting if you want to individually duct each miner to direct heat to another location. If you don’t duct the miners you will need to exhaust the room, but more details are needed about your current setup and location.

Find a place to host them. Unless you have power under $0.08/kwh it makes no sense to run them at home.

If you scour the forum you will find various things people have done for themselves.

My suggestion because it must be a whole room is to buy some thick insulation r16 or 22. Insulate the walls that you find the noise travelling through seal that with poly. So you don't have to worry about the fibers and your miners.

Next for your heat you need to boost your rooms air exchanges.  To do this I would do the hot side cold side split. Where you essentially build a wall through the middle of your miners. Have an air intake on the cold side bringing, and have an exhaust fan on the hot side that discharges outside.

Or just size an I take that brings in cool air at ground level and an exhaust fan removing from the top of the room wherever the miners discharge their hot exhaust.

Another option would be to build a separate shack/shed outside run electrical to that and size your intake and exhaust to maintain temps.

My miners run in a small building. I vented all the miners out through the floor with vent tubes. The underside of the building is open to the outside as the building is up in the air a bit. After I did that, the noise level dropped significantly and the A/C can now easily keep the place cool and the miners are happy.

I saw good answer on this question from @NotFuzzy warm(user of this forum as well). He linked this.

I think this is great way to remove extra heat, maybe you will need 3 of these machines, since 1 is good for approximately 15 of them.
