Summer Mining - Fans/Other summer equipment

[notlist3d]

I'm still shopping around looking at gable fan's.  I think I can get air moving a lot more then I have at ceiling height.  I'm looking at gable fan's around 3000 CFM to get around 2.5-3x more CFM then current one.  

Still shopping around might see if any local hardware stores have coupons.  I don't have any good ones.  On the two big ones I got 50 off 250 so a good coupon.  Nothing like that so far.  I'm all for a good deal

1.49 for the 50 off 250

I have 0 idea if he is any good.

I can buy one for you if you do not have an ebay account.

You are amazing as always.  That is actually the coupon I used for getting the two fans they accepted it then. (don't now seller though my dad got the coupon, hes into saving money as much as me )

Here is the gable fan I have been looking at: http://www.homedepot.com/p/QuietCool-Professional-3013-CFM-Power-Gable-Mount-Attic-Fan-AFG-PRO-3-0/206047381   

Home depot does not have any great coupons though, and Lowes might or might not take coupon as Home Depot does not have item.  Also its special order it to store or home no stock as most don't need this CFM so high.   So I it's a very YMMV on getting them to accept a competitors coupon on this.

remember   I have 2 of these   I can send them for shipping only  maybe 30-35 bucks.  Helps me clean my garage.

these fans do 550 cfm each or 1100 cfm for 2

Thank you.  Your being awesome as always.  I will keep this in mind.

I am hoping gable fan does the trick.  But if not fans like this might be what I need.

Ended up finally ordering my new gable fan -  http://www.homedepot.com/p/QuietCool-Professional-3013-CFM-Power-Gable-Mount-Attic-Fan-AFG-PRO-3-0/206047381 .   It was not a item they had in stock at the store, I had to order online.   

I will document taking old one out and putting this one in.  It will be around a week to week and a half to get it.   But with the 2.5 or so times more power then old gable fan I think I will see a noticeable difference.

Should move a lot of air. Will you require it at night through the summer? Going to push your costs up some to keep those units cool runing a fan 24/7.

I am lucky with the gable fan I already have the gear to have it set to only be on if above a certain temp.  So this will case in most cases it not to be needed at night. 

I justified it as I would not mind having it in there even if I am not mining one day.

Something interesting I got selected for a "Random Electric Survey"   from the electric company.  The survey has like 5 ish pages of filling out to get a possible 10 dollar credit.... ill pass.

But I don't think it was random looks like my usage was noticed but all I got was a survey so not bad.

Just an idea to have more of a controlled unit, seal the unit up have holes cut in sections around where the units are maybe seal in something that is fire proof so that if on the unlikely event it then wont fry anywhere else.

For the fans you got blowing on it you could use something like this with cut outs on it or using smaller



You could do a Y shape pipe work so its one fan reduce energy costs. or do a  Y shape 1 into 2 and then 2 into 1 opposite ends and fully channel the air in and out.

Reduce your ambient, room tempas much as possibly. You could go to the real extreme and have insulation throughout the rooms roof and walls and have it done in icynene foam product as this works with seasonal control keeping out out and warm in and also the exact thing you want keeping cold in and hot out.

I appreciate the advice.   The weather has not been horrible and miners have been pretty comfortable.  I'm hoping my new gable fan once i get it will make a difference on air removal with around 2-2.5x the speed I have now it should be noticeable.

With them Windows are they the only 2 in that room any doors in it. Maybe get bigger windows in and get some fans installed on them SO many options but limited by the space you have in their maybe a clear out of some stuff or tidy up some of it and sort out. Could come up with a room plan is that the total size almost from the pics or it go other way a fair bit too.

Bigger windows and insulation will not be happening.  Just expense's that I really don't want to spend.   I have to be able to justify it and still make money overall with btc.  I have split them into 2 spots at the moment and works fine.  After gable I'm hoping I can move more into there. 

After new gable is replaced I will have the old one slightly over 1000 rpm I can use if I need to push more air inside.  But it is working good right now so I'm happy.  Just need to get it where I can put them all in there.  No matter what during winter they will all be in there easily.

Nice thread guys! notlist3d and phil as always the best!  

Phil I will be curious to get one of you fan. How much to ship to Canada ?? Let me know!

I was looking to find a way to drop the temp of my setup and I was looking to put my S5 and S3 upside down and add a stove hood on top of it. Then blow the air out.

The S5 is one of the worst on heat.  In this area i have 2 sp20's, 1 SP5, 2 S4's, 1 Dragon 1.5 and the hottest by a decent amount is the S5.

if you compare them by their own sensors, then the comparation is like between apples and bananas

I spent a while in with the gear comparing temperatures.  That is part of what made me decide on getting new gable fan.  It seemed the hot air I just was not getting rid of fast enough.

It is ok right now but I know it can be better

I figure we are getting close to summer for most.  I know I am working on my summer mining area slowly.  Figured start a thread we can rate summer needs such as fan's or other equipment to keep your miners cool.

I converted the mud room to a miner room. We use some of the high-velocity metal blade fans you mention, but also stuck one of these in the window that the miners exhaust towards:

http://www.canarm.com/HVAC/Wall_Mounted_Shutter_Fans/XFS_Series_Exhaust_Shutter_Fan

XFS Series Exhaust Shutter Fan

• Smooth, quiet, reliable, maintenance free operation.
• Available in 12” to 24” sizes.
• 12” and 16” models are 3 speed
• 20” and 24” models are 2 speed.
• Durable steel construction with powder coat black finish.
• Swept back, high efficiency, low noise blade design.
• Quiet, aluminum shutters with tie bar to maximize airflow.
• Strong powder coated OSHA guarding inside.
• ETL certified
• Euro design outside rotor motor for higher efficiency.
• Totally enclosed with sealed ball bearings
• Pull chain speed control
• 9 foot cord with 115 volt, 3-prong plug
• Fans shipped totally assembled.

Very interesting design.  Thank you for posting. I'm currently pulling air in from the windows and going out through gable and roof vent's.   So not what I need right  now but a good option if I ever changed design.

Least making good progress with the project. How many units you going to go too. Wish I could do something like this but Energy in UK is shockingly expensive to run lol. Maybe in the future if the price war happens and protests happen and coin goes up then maybe just maybe ill get some equipment back online. Right now looking at newer equipment to but something that will make profit and right now its very tough. Running something like 3,000w per day was costing me over £10 to £14 per day in energy. Was good 6 to 8 months ago and last year and in 2013 but right now Id be making only like 15 to 20p or in temrs of usd maybe $0.09 per day with energy costs on top so guaranteed energy waste.
