it is light weight easy to work with and is water proof

you could reverse the air flow on the fans blow air out those windows and you would basically have a hood from the material.

I would do
.........silver hood..........
miner >fan> fan> window

           silver hood
miner >fan>fan> window

use  two fans for the frame to place the silver material for  each window

get a roll of silver duct tape

              silver wraps the
               two fans
              wind tunnel
              _________
miner      Fan   Fan>>> window >>>> air out >>>>
             __________

Sounds great. That will be my next project very soon. I don't think I need a roll that large, so I will do up some measurements/guesstiments of the amount of insulation needed.
I'll have to figure out exactly what you are meaning with your diagrams / instructions. I'll get it visualized in my head soon. Not quiet awake/alert enough and the brain is running slooooowww. Wink

Thanks so much for your assistance and helpful advice!! Smiley

saw the drawings and cant help noticing a large square box called "BED"..... how are you going to sleep with a few of these Antminers screaming all day and night?  Shocked

Ear plugs. Smiley

No, not really.
The current "coin room" was / is the spare bedroom. Now it is full of everything that won't fit anywhere else. It also has a queen bed that has stacked boxes, cables, cords, power supplies and silent S7's sitting on it. No room for sleeping even if it would be possible with the four S9's running 24/7.
With the door closed, it is still noticeable across the hall in my bedroom with both doors closed. But not too loud to sleep in my bedroom.

You are going to see a bunch of s7's & A6's dropping off due to price and difficulty. Unfortunately with bitmain releasing more s9's tomorrow that will rapidly pickup the slack.

I wish that coin price would see a little upward movement instead of the slow downward drip, drip, drip. That would make the large difficulty jump easier to swallow.
I haven't read anything about price speculation in the last week or so. Maybe I'll take a look now. Even though most, if not all, coin speculating is much less accurate than long term weather forecasts. Anyway,....

Grin  slowly i began to understand all the problems.
i added some miners today. temperature increases enormous und fuses brake   Grin
i think i need to do some adjustments......

Uh-huh...been there...done that... Cool

Ya gotta pay attention to circuit capacities. My service here is 120v. I have only 30 amps of available service total. One S7 uses 14 amps. A typical household circuit (in 120v territory) is 20 amps. I currently run 6 S3s at home, but they only draw around 3.5 amps each, so I'm drawing around 19 amps for all of them; they're on two separate household circuits. I can't run the microwave without first shutting down two S3s. I ended up sending my 3 S7s to CryptoBoreas for hosting...that works for now.

I'm gonna take the time to photo my rack setup a bit later and post it. It appears to be a bit simpler...and cheaper. I've got (yet another) housing inspection tomorrow by a nonprofit co-op that the owners have retained to figure out how to finance upgrading the wiring in our complex so we can get 100 amp service in our units. Turns out that my blowing the main breaker for my unit several times around the first of the year got some positive attention. Additionally, another tenant bought a portable a/c unit, plugged it in, got it going, and then fired up their coffeemaker...and blew the 30-amp main breaker on their unit. I've been telling mgt for months that would happen.

Figure out which circuit breakers handle which plugs, and what your total draw is/should be for each circuit, when everything is turned on. Stay under 90% of that, and you should be OK for draw. If you run too close to the limit with only the miners running, then something like a frig compressor cutting in, or a microwave, or a vacuum, or even a hair dryer, could easily blow either a circuit breaker, or the main.

Yes, I popped a breaker the other day by plugging in a vacuum cleaner in the hallway. I'm at my electrical limit in the coin room and adjacent outlets on the same circuit.

note my second image on modding your setup



** Sorry for the continued off topic. But we don't have any blocks to talk about at the moment. Sad
 COME ON BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Are you saying to surround the output fans (blowing out the two single windows) with the insulation around the top, bottom, sides of fans?

Plenty of things to think about. I would probably look for something smaller/cheaper as I don't need that much insulation.

Maybe it's time for rearranging!

Thanks for the ideas!! Smiley Smiley

EDIT: Have you used this insulation? Is it water resistant/proof?

Just to give an idea of what the double-window side of the room looks like with the miner in racks and on table with the two fans sucking in air from the window and a fan on the back of the rack sucking hot air away from the miners.

 my idea is put two box fans by the two windows blow air out.

put one box fan by the one window suck air in.

lastly buy this: wait for link

Thanks for all the info and ideas. I will study them and see if it is something that I can pull off and solve some of the air flow/rain issues.! Smiley

Have you tried putting your miners in front of the exhaust fan?  The exhaust side is the critical piece of the equation.  As a test, you could just turn your miners around and reverse the window airflow.  It's possible that the shady window will provide cooler air temps as well.  

I'm sure the current supply air is hotter than room temperature on most summer days so there's no advantage in having the miners so close to the supply fan.  Grin  

EDIT:  One of the best setups I've ever read about was a guy that captured ALL his exhaust air with flexible duct from each miner into a box plenum that went up into his attic.  That stopped all possibility of the exhaust air mixing in with the supply air.  This setup controlled the temps better than any other setup he tried.  The garage air never got heated by any exhaust air.  If I can find the link I will post it here.

EDIT2: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1165628.msg13787006;topicseen#msg13787006

I will check out your link after I post this.

I have toyed with the idea of moving the coin room around. It's a very small room with a bed taking up most of the room and shelves with books and albums taking up most of the wall space. The two windows I'm using for air intake are the most convenient for that purpose.

They will allow the placement of racks and, most importantly, that's where the majority of my power is located. A new 110/120/20 Amp outlet and a 240 outlet in addition to 2 other 110/120 outlets.

I would not be able to get the two miner racks in front of the back window. It is in a corner and pretty hard to access. The best thing I could think to use it for was exhaust.

The single window still gets rained in, just not as much as the two front-facing side-by-side windows.

Here is a rough drawing of the room and the way things stand now.

https://s5.postimg.org/6d7y8sp13/Coin_Room.jpg

Well, I drew a picture in MS Paint of the room, miner racks, outlets, windows, etc., but can't get the drawing to post like I normally post images.
