1 BTU/hr = 0.29307107 W. It does not matter what the application is that consumed the watts and produced heat in the form of BTU/hr.

Thanks for the info. So 5.5-6 tons of cooling if I max the breakers.

Cooling ganna cost you a lot, better to just use fan?

Fans definitely will not be enough for this much heat. This is more heat then an outdoor gas grill. I should be fine, you can buy used 5 ton cooling units for around $3000.

You are completely confused. Don't even think about attempting this. It won't work. You can't AC miners. You must blow the heat into the atmosphere with a fan. If you attempt to use AC, you are going to be stunned how much energy you will consume. It's not engineering, it's physics.

Nope not confused. Of course you can AC miners, how do you think large datacenters do it? Fans are not a viable option as Houston has 99F+ degree days with 80%+ Humidity. I may be able to do a hybrid and AC outdoor air to below 80F and pipe it in for the miner intakes the exhaust outside, but that is a lot of ducting. Full blown ACing them still seems like the best option.
