Hiya all,

I have just completed building a cabin shed for my mining setup and starting to work out my cooling system.

I will be only running approx. 20 Avalons and my intention was to partition the back wall and duct all miners into this area to outside.
I was going to leave the power supplies on the intake side to increase the ambient air temperature as gets very chilly in uk at the moment.

In the remaining section of shed i am intending to install 300x300 louvre grill and attach a car radiator puller fan (because they are cheap and run on 12v)
I will control this fan with a speed temp controller for shed area to control the ambient air temp.

Has anyone used radiator fans for this purpose and did it work.

Cheers for any advice in advance.

I have no experience with this, but did consider it for a cooling solution a few years back. I've even seen a thread here with pictures of someone doing just that. I think with the right water pump, it should be a great idea. I imagine that radiator would give off a ton of heat though and would probably need to be located separately from the miners. The picture I saw, I believe the user was running the radiator outside his home.

EDIT: I misunderstood and thought you'd be using the radiator for liquid cooling. Surely there's a more efficient fan than a radiator fan for air cooling. Those blades are pretty heavy...
