Topic: Attic Exhausting - page 2. (Read 648 times)
I wouldn't be able to run more than the eight with my power as is. Plus this is at home and I'll hope to venture out to cheaper power and bigger space if/as needed. So 3k would be plenty and the 1.6k cfm would be about the minimum then?
Priced out the build, can defiantly save on the fan and hopefully other items. Thoughts? Only concern was ensuring intake, any others? or other suggestions? I just want to do one duct register in the ceiling, so would 3k CFM removal be overkill for a small farm of 8 asics on a 100F day? Bout as hot as it would typically get through a few summer days here.

Yes 3000CFM will be fine for 8 units, it allows you to have some wiggle room and if you wanted to throw in one or 2 more machines you could if you wanted.

Just stick them in a window, exhaust pointing out. 100% dump heat outside and if you run AC inside you should be good.
I do this with 6 old Titans, works fine.

I would if my neighbors house wasn't so close to the garage and all their window seem to be on the that same side. So the venting into attic is best alternative. I would vent straight out the through the roof but it's new and don't want to fuck with it since it rains most the year here. I don't want four units running in the house either.
To recap: build will work, not much difference from DYI from the premade unit. Ensure air flow and we're golden?

Nice, I have that one in the house gable already and their 1300 above the garage where the current farm exhaust exits. I can really only support four more units, so eight total till i'm out grown. 3k CFM removal should be plenty with in door vents and/or garage door up some correct? Might as well fit for max capacity since I need to upgrade it anyway. What CFM should I hit with 8 asics? min would be around 1600 I assume? So 3k if able to adjust would be great in the summer?
Listen to Nasty
you will need to feed air in.
Here are good gable fans to pull air out.

I use 2 of them in the solar array

Hi personal post here.
I'm a small home miner and wanted to increase capacity and not have neighbors kill me. So exhausting through garage wall directly isn't an option. I have decent removal but want add more units and will need to increase exhausting. Been looking at whole house fans to install above miners but the cost is pretty high. These look simple to construct from high CFM gable fan, ceiling register with flex duct, and of course mounting braces from rafters. Should be able to save quite a bit with DYI, just want to make sure I'm not missing any critical differences from a pre-constructed whole house fan to building one as described. Thanks.

The main piece of advice I can give is to be aware of where you'll be taking air in. For all the air you exhaust, you will intake the same amount somewhere.
