Im an engineer but not an expert in your specific case  Grin

I would do this calculation based on the heat dissipation of each miner. For simplyness I would equate the electrical power of each miner with thermal power. So for example if you have 250units and each unit generate 1kw, then you have to move 250kW of heat power out of your container.

So you wanna know the required airflow in a worst case scenario. Worst case scenario is always during summer time. The Delta Temp between the miner and the fresh air from outside should be a criteria. I assume 30°C fresh air temperature.

If the miners should not reach for example 50°C, then you have a delta Temperature of 20°C. Then have a look at this diagram. Its used for finding air flow if you install a compressor cooling like in an ice cream parlor.



So for 1kW and Delta 20°C you need about 175m³/h, multiplied with 250 = 43750m³/h

Edit this example to your needs... I dont know how hot the miners will be and what is your maximum fresh air temperature. If you calculate this for Delta 5°C you need about 150.000m³/h

 its difficult to find experts in this field locally , so I am seeking help online

40 high cube mining container (12.024 m X 2.350 m X 2.697 m ) has to be equipped with up to 250 unit of whatsminer m30s + miners (single miner Airflow is 9.187/Min - as i know maximum air volume for the whole server: 350CFM. ). We were recommended to install 14 industrial fan on hot side , single fan has airflow 13000 m3/h, and on cold side to install g4 filters. what do you think is this configuration good ? and can we go without installing fans on cold side, for the air inflow?

can you kindly guide me how to calculate needed airflow of the container?
and air outflow vs inflow ?

My calculations were simple but I guess wrong:

9.187*60*250 = 137805 m3/h - ToTal airflow of 250 miners.

14fans *13000m3/h=18200 m/3 total airflow the whole container

I guess I should also use dimensions of container -- please help me out .
