A little work we're doing at the mining farm.

External ventilation behind which will be two 20,000 cfm exhaust fans.

The peaked roof in this photo is because we're fitting two filtered 48" 20,000 cfm intake fans on this side. This is to bring cool air into the "cool aisle".

View from the cold aisle.

The shelving for the rigs is in the middle wall so the cool air goes into the intake fans on this side, and through the wall to the hot aisle.

This is the hot aisle. At the end will be a 20,000 cfm exhaust fan. At 200 cfm per miner, that's 100 miners that can fit on this side and be cooled properly.

Thanks for sharing, fittsy. This is looking awesome man! Certainly is... Please keep us updated with your project. Always like seeing what other people come up with when using their imagination. It's truly inspiring and can generate other ideas to those who see them.

One question: It looks like the intake and exhaust will be right next to one another with those galvanized steel exterior wall vents. Do you have any concern with the intake sucking heat from the exhaust as it comes out? It may still work fine. I was only wondering...

If it does end up becoming an issue as you add more and more rigs, you may end up having to build some kind of exterior wall that's tall enough to act as a divider between the intake and exhaust vents to reduce the heat. But again, that's only IF it ends up becoming an issue. That was my plan if my intake and exhaust (on the same wall) were too close together. My intake and exhaust are 20 feet apart from one another and end up working fine without building a divider wall outside to separate them better. it may end up working fine with no issues.

Please do not think I'm being overly critical of your design and work. I like what you have going on there and look forward to seeing more updates in the future. I'm simply asking legitimate questions to see if you thought about it and find out if you had a plan B if it ended up becoming an issue?
