Do NOT start ducting the miners exhaust without using a booster fan and/or larger dia tube. They are designed assuming free airflow in and out of their casings and have little margin for pushing the air against added resistance.

What I used are these https://www.globalindustrial.com/searchResult?searchBox=&q=ventilators to suck the hot air out of the area where my farm is and ran the other end of the pressure duct to a much cooler area of our shop floor. Specifically I use https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/hvac/fans/blower/global-portable-ventilation-fan-16-with-32-flexible-ducting  which moves over 2,800CFM. The bank of miners are pointed at the blower inlet about 10ft away from them.


By the way - forgot to thank you for that link.   My shop is completely open and the warm air mixes fairly completely.  So there is no cooler area to move air to, but that ventilation fan you posted a link to has my gears turning - I may be able to rig something up yet.

Thanks again
