you may or may not get that to work.
it may not need help for exhaust or it may need it.
the length of the tube leaving the box out the window is very important.
the ambient room temperature of input air is important.
Ie 3 boxes like your photo in a 0c (32f) garage would be fine even if the tubes to the window are more then 6 feet
but 3 boxes like your photo in a 30c (86f) garage would most likely over heat without help to pull air through the tube
also size of tube matters 10 inch size for 1 t17 should be good with no help 5 inch size too small needs a helping fan.
inside of tube is important
ie great tube for air flow due to size and inside shape allow for easy air flow

not so great tube due to size and inside shape it resists air flow

here is a compromise tube

nice and big so it does not restrict air flow that much
in all cases above longer tube may trap heat without some fan help
lastly a tube that points upward to the window gets help from the hot air rises rule (convection).
Topic: Regarding airflow for the Antminer S17 (Read 249 times)
do you really need exhaust fan?
i also build some boxes for my T17 miners. i only place the miner in the middle and make sure the output air cant get back to the input fans of the miner. the two fans on the back of the miner are enough to pull the air out of the box through elastic tube out of the window.

well 4 fans for hashboards
2 fans for psu.
the hash board fans move at least 200 cfm each
but they are pointed trough the hashboards
so it is not 4 x 200 = 800
more like 2 x 225 = 450
tack on 50 for the psu fans
you get to 500 cfm
I feel that 500 cfm is pretty close to the top number they can do
Why not do
a 500 cfm
a 550 cfm
a 600 cfm
set of calculations
it will give you 3 box sizes to choose from.

Hello,
Im wondering if anyone know how much air a Antminer S17 pulls/moves, I know it is relative to fan rpm but Im struggling to find anything online about it.
If anyone have a guide or something to how i could calculate it, would be greatly appreciated.
I just started asic mining and im planing on making a soundproofed box to control the noise, need to know how much qubic meters it displaces to calculate what dimensions I need on an exhaust fan.
