Anyone use duct hose to expel the heat from multiple S1-S2-S4-S5-S7 miners out a window?
Looking for pictures/ideas. I know there must be someone that has done it.

suck better than blow ?
Actually thinking about the same thing and will be heading to lowes tomorrow afternoon. I'll post an update when I get started.
This is what I'm thinking. Lining up all the Sx's in a row, side by side and just cut a hole in the side of the duct host and put the miner output right in there. With a push from a small fan it should direct all the air flow right out or where I want it. Sorry for the terrible representation. Basically just need one long hose and some cheap thermal tape to close the gaps. Don't really care what it looks like.
I think you might want to position the fan directly adjacent to the window. As your diagram current shows, if there is any kind of blockage at the window, the FAN st the end of the duct will be "pushing" against the miner's exhaust. You really want the fan to "suck" the warm air out of the duct, rather than pushing cooler air into it. Where the fan is currently shown, you could close it off, so that the air would have to flow through the miners to get exhausted.
Good suggestion. Have yet to try it, but good idea. A good enough fan to create some air pressure sucking out is good for hotter days. Colder days can just reverse and get some heat inside.
Just for this room there are only 6 rigs. So I just lined them up perpendicular to the window (hot air just blowing out) then used some pieces of cardboard on the left/right sides to direct air flow right to window. That worked well. And I'm using much quieter Noctua fans, and not those Jet Blasters as I call them. ( those loud stock S5 and S7 fans). Temps were good. I did notice when I did my candle smoke test on how much hot air spews out of the tops of these. A stiff long piece of cardboard right over all the tops extending right out to the window screen. Temps dropped 1-2 degrees just doing that. I just wish my stupid ass did this during the summer, but I was so busy doing other things never got the chance. If I need heat, all I need to do is flip the fans. To me that's easier then reversing the miner itself. These are just my test/home ones, others are offsite. Just re-arranging a little makes so much difference. And cost nothing.
