I've learned a LOT through the years on how to manage heat generated by mining rigs. I believe I've found an affective way to manage the heat without air conditioning.
Trying to use air conditioning to battle the heat generated by mining rigs is really a losing battle. Especially, if you have a lot of rigs. I've found through the years it is best to find a way to simply get the heat AWAY from the rigs and OUT of the mining room or box.
You can see from my posts made in the following link [From back in 2014 - You'll need to scroll down a bit] that I do have SOME experience with mining in regards to experimenting with different ways of managing the heat. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766998.40. For whatever reason, the link I just provided to another forum where I've made posts since 2014 is no longer active. Sorry... It's rather disappointing. I had over 500 posts in that thread with hundreds of photos.
I'm currently in ANOTHER REMODEL in my mining room to make it even larger and manage the heat even better. Updates to that remodel will be shared at a later date.
I'm currently working on a small mining room for my dad in his garage. I've FINALLY convinced my dad how valuable crypto currency is to the FREEDOM of mankind and how it's the next big thing that will be BIGGER than the internet. He recently showed interest in mining. So, I decided to give him some of my old hardware that will still be profitable to mine with for him to make some extra money during his retirement. Especially, since I believe social security will not be around much longer for he and my mother to live off of.
Here are images with comments of the current progress with the small mining room in my dad's garage from start to current. [Be patient while I continue posting these one after another with comments. This will take a little while]:
A 2" x 8" was notched out to straddle the Main Distribution Panel (MDP) and placed to line up perfectly with the 2" x 4" mounted on the rack. This END will be covered with plywood.
We also made sure the door panel for the MDP is not inhibited from access in the event of an emergency. NEC requires easy access in the event of an emergency. They would simply walk into the mining room, open the MDP door to flip breakers as needed from the inside. This is a 200 Amp MDP.
