Re: keep a small mining farm cool with only air conditioners.
The efficiency of an AC shouldn't change based on outside temps, if does 1k BTU, it does 1K BTU regardless, now let's forget for a moment about mining, and let's just picture an empty room with little BTUs.
No, the efficiency actually changes:
TC is Capacity PI is power consumption.
It's a pain in the ass-protected pdf file, but I'm pretty sure even your model has the same kind of manual.
Again, look at the pipe length, this rating above is for 5m linear, and once you count elevation it's a mess.
If that's true (which I believe it is), what happens when you bring in another AC of the same size that is set on heating mode, so now you have 2 hot vs 1 cold? you end up with 1 hot AC since the cold ac will cancel one hot ac, correct?
How hot do you think that one lonely hot ac will bring the room temperature to? 10c above ambient temp? the room now is 30c, 20c? the room now is 40c.
I could be wrong, but would like to know, how?

It will bring the room temperature slowly till it reaches the exhaust temperature at which point they will probably shut down themselves.
Let's look at it from the thermodynamics point of view as heat is just energy:
At one point you have one extra unit of produced heat in a unit of time, if this process goes continuously in a closed environment, after 1000 units of time and 1000 extra units of heat. In a million units of time one million units of heat!
This will not stop at any point if we don't assume the equipment will melt itself because you're still feeding more heat in that room every second than you extract, 10C, 40C, 100C, 300C it's like blowing into a balloon, the heat has nowhere to go.
Of course, this is in a perfectly sealed environment, so there is heat escaping the room through the floor and the walls, but if we talk about 30KW extra there is no way you will reach an equilibrium before you melt everything!
Especially since you also want to soundproof this room which will add to insulation and make less heat able to escape through the walls.
