Our miners are hosted in a private building (garage), shortly after start running them we realized thet we have a massiv heat problem. Thinking about it, we need something cheap, thats for sure.
So we took a excavator and dig out a 50m long and 5 meter deep shaft where we put a tube on the ground. Next step was to get back all the ground into the long hole.
The entry of that tube is somewhere in the middle of a meadow with a little hat on it to prevent rain and water coming in. The other end leads to the miners and gives them fresh cool air as much as they want. The ground cools the air in an effective way.
So far, we get 7°-8° Celsius air in summer and winter. Works like hell and once it's done there are no more costs for cooling anymore ;-)
So I take it this would not be a viable solution for people living in an apartment
Yeah it's a good plan but would only work for barns, guesthouses, or garages where you have lots of land nearby. Most buildings like that could use evaporator coolers for roughly the same cost I'd imagine.
