That's exactly the kind of information I was looking for, I won't put any miners in the same closet as the furnace.
Thank you for your replies.

Everyone here will tell you not to do that. And that is exactly what is recommended.
you will boil off the freon before it has a chance to cool off the incoming air completely. This is normally not a problem for short term, but as this will happen for long durations, you will have pressure build-up and accumulation at the exchanger coil. At that time, the build up could be great enough that the condenser coil and exchanger coil both burst, or one will at best. to repair, that will entail freon, new coils, labor, etc...so your little miners making $5 a day will cause you to spend $2000 instead and probably in the middle of July.
Just don't do it. stick them in a room that has a window and put a window A/C unit or split air system. when that fails, you can just get another.

You will learn how expensive AC repair is in a hurry.
I have a forced air furnace (both hot and cold air) in a closet at my place, with a hole for the air return and I was wondering if during the time that the unit cools the air I could dump the exhaust from 1-2 miners into it?
Since the furnace just takes the air and cools it I'm thinking it may work better than exhausting the cool air to outside.
I tried doing some searches about this idea but I wasn't able to find anything.
What are your thoughts on this?
