While I have no doubt that some miners produce hotter "ehaust" air, from an AC point of view, all 1000W miners are created equal in terms of how much cooling is needed.

I got rid of it for summer. But the 1T dragon just spits out extreme hot air. I would argue different way's of dissipating such as heatsinks, fans, 1000 watts may be the same but some handle it better then other miners.

it's better and less costly to leave it underground, if you can, with an outlet pipe for the heat

The AC cost will add up. I would agree exhust is cheaper if you can do it.

Also some miners are hotter then others. For example the Dragon 1T blows very hot air out back. I think it's worst I have had on the heat.

Just preparing for the summer. Wondering what the typical BTUs are required per KW of miners.

Will a 10000 BTU airconditioner be fine for a 1000 Watt miner?

Share some input.

a watt is about 4 btu's

I round up it is more like 3.412. so you are putting out 3412 btu with that miner.

so you should be able to cool the room down with a 10000 btu ac.

unless you have cheap power it is very costly to ac a miner
