What is your Intake & Exhaust look like for your Crypto Mining Rig Setup? Where are my Ravencoin Miners At?
I'd put the filter just outside the tent and add another duct from the output of the filter into the tent. Then you can change the filter without opening the tent and youll have more space inside
I was just thinking the exact same thing. I am thinking on how I can build a filter like that out of plywood. Making the seals would be fairly easy.
@@Ardilla88 one thing to keep in mind is the surface area of the filter. If you see the one in the video, his filter goes at a diagonal in the box, which increases the size of the filter. Many would probably shrink the filter for size, but a bigger filter will stay clean longer and have less air resistance in-line.
@@BraveWW I was thinking more of creating a small plywood box that would house something like cabin air filter for a car or something a lot smaller. You could always just put two of them.
This man loves his tape. Looking good brother!
Absolutely love this idea. I work in commercial grow and have always thought about the similarities in HVAC systems between it and mining rooms/farms. Please keep coming up with these revolutionary plans!
Fantastic! Happy to Hear! Yeah with "Grow" humidity is a good thing, with mining it is not lol
ayyyy, i also worked in commercial grow. What company you work for?
I remodeled all the valley pure dispensaries and helped build Green Smart Farmer.
I would like to get some ideas on your HVAC setup if you dont mind sharing.
I did send vivo a question asking if they could supply to South Africa. Will wait and see. Nice filter
Great work! I found in my grow tent setup, placing the power supplies above the GPUs made a big difference in GPU temps. I also have a 360 cfm exhaust fan and will be adding another soon. I discovered I need more airflow after recently adding more GPUs.
Thank you, just ordered grow tent set up from AC infinity. I was thinking about a filter, now Im going to get one. NJ is just as bad with humidity and pollen. Enjoying the videos! 👍
Glad I could help! Yeah PA is the same. Good call on the Filter!
I have an ac infinity that my mining rigs are in, their stuff is super high quality - no offence to the video but it's so much better than the vivosun. I bought a garbage fan when I started and it pretty much didn't work right out of the box. I bought the ac infinity fan at 402 cfm and it's amazing. Can't say enough good things.
This looks awesome to manage the heat!! What a great idea, this is perfect for a house or apartment.
It really is! Can't wait to pack it full!
That filter system just gave me some ideas. I'll build something similar by myself and test it. Thank you! :-)
Thanks for all your effort in pulling together amazing videos. I am a fan :)
A quick note here though: @10'50" Version 1 so this is the "nerfed version" non LHR - except LHR is the nerfed version. V1 is the non-nerfed version :)
Cheers
This is amazing. lol The more i watch, the more it looks like my setup. haha I have the exact setup from my old grow. Just take the exhaust off and pump to the room in the cold months. :)
Thanks for the video.
That is a fantastic idea. Much cheaper than a server cabinet
I wish I would of done this a long time ago!
Lol that's awesome!
Edit: those are called light yo-yo's for raising and lowering grow lights
Good to know thanks!
My first form of employment was working in a lab in a 10x10 grow tent. Cheers mate ❤️
Can't wait to see how this grow tent works out at the end 👍🏻
Me neither
I may have to build this in the near future. Waiting to how you do. :)
Have you tried having both outdoor vents as exhaust and have the intakes on the tent open pulling your ambient air from your basement.
Why not stick the right size grow tent in your mining room and maybe put the filter on the floor next to the tent to save mining space.
A possible thought ... trust me. haha
You're my Hero!! My Vivosun grow tent was delivered today. Let the fun begin!! One question...would the Vivosun air carbon filter not work in this set-up?
Hello from a fellow Pennsylvanian. Now I want to go get a grow tent.
Hey Hey!
Very nice^^
Thank you! Cheers!
For your exhaust get the insulated piping so you don't spill heat into your basement
I've had a grow tent on my todo list for a while. Gotta build a rig frame and buy some shelves first. For filter I was looking to use a furnace filter rack and 4"-5" thick furnace filters. Looks like I'll need to build my own window adapter as the a/c adapters are junk and aren't insulated.
Great Idea!
Oh wow that’s good timing my grow tent just arrived today! Would you do anything different if you had the tent outside?
You can reduce noise and improve the input and output airflow switching flexible ducts by smooth rigid plastic ducts. The ribbing creates resistance to airflow which reduces efficiency/performance and increases noise.
I'd say his largest restriction is the tiny slots it is being forced through at the exit and entry point by those vent covers outside.
I am looking for a cooling solution for my small growing mine, and your videos are of the most importance for my future design, thank you.
btw why not exchange the tubes in the plywood so the incoming do not go around the exhaust and get heated?
yoo samw here, well im still using my gaming rig as mining rig for the time being
What if you make a brace for your filters? You could mimic the dimensions of your filter and make it out of thin aluminum angle iron and rivets. That could give it structure so it doesn't bend, if that makes sense.
Not a bad idea. Almost re-enforce it.
You should get a 8 inch out fan . Pulls more air out
🦅RVN🦅
💪💪💥💥📈📈💎💎⛏⛏
I’ve got a feeling you’re going to quickly discover that a 6” fan won’t cut it, I’ve upgraded to an 8” and now a 12” fan to get the CFM I need for my 3 kW rigs.
Thanks for the idea about the box filter; I ended up buying a different version because the one you have is only good for about 200 CFM based on the websites spec sheet.
Great! For passive it does well. For active intake may need to explore options.
That exhaust will be heating the intake air before it even hits the rig....
You wont need an active intake. If you get another 6" fan there will be enough negative pressure inside the tent that it will pull the air into the tent threw that filter. I am in PA also but I dont pull my air from the outside for my tent. I let it intake form the two side screens. Right now I dont have room in my tent for a filter system like you have. I have too much stuff inside the tent but the screens on the side are decent. I may look at a filter system like you have if I can find a smaller one. Or it is fairly a simple design I could build it.
Your intake is going to pull hot air from the the exhaust and from the heat supplied by that window AC unit. I would fix that before you throw in 12 GPUs.
Personally, I would remove the AC unit, and move the intake to the bottom.
Or...set the AC to the lowest setting, and pull your intake directly from that.
my thoughts too, intake & exhaust is just next to each other right hmm...
Great idea! Although wouldnt using an AC as an intake encourage condensation along your rig?
@@xidney_ It depends on the standing temperature differential. If there is enough airflow through the system the chances of condensation are lower.
However, he did mention something about getting a de-humidifier for that tent due to the seasonal weather.
But, I normally wouldn't recommend sending cold air into a hotbox without first passing it through a de-humidifier.
@@iAmEbolaWoT got it, thank you! I have a rig setup that grabs ambient air from my living room (usually around 75-80f cooled by an ac swamp cooler) and exhausting out a window, but that leaves ambient humidity around 70%, would you recommend me using a dehumidifier or some type of cat litter filter setup to take humidity out of the intake air? Of course that would mean buying a grow tent or making an air type seal around my open air case
Where did you get the motherboard?
I think for 100USD you can make very nice wood "box" from OSB plate and paint :)
Why didn't you put filter box outside of the tent.
not bringing in air from outside keeps me around 10-15 % humidity but its a extra draw on my central air just wont know how bad it is till a month goes by . seems like keeping it anywhere over 50% might cause rust no ? oh and im not using the filter at all just using the mesh on the sides to filter the air.
Based off my research you want 45-55% ambient relative humidity levels. So that is where I will be aiming for. Granted that will flucuate based off the time of year and outside air.
The 2 fans will not move enough air to keep the tent cool or the GPUs cool. I have 16 GPU mining Ethereum in the same tent. I have 3 intake and 2 exhaust fans
I like the idea of the filter, but I would have to buy three of them and they are too large.
Yeah, Growtents are stupid for this purpose. So much easier to keep a big room vented instead of a small enclosure. If not, you need MASSIVE CFMs to do the work of exchanging 6x + air realtime, much noise, much money, much will fail. wow
As someone who is currently mining in a tent, I totally agree. The issue I have is that my basement is a dusty dirty mess, I pretty much have to have my GPUs enclosed so I can filter the air, or every piece of dirt and grime down there (which is basically impossible to clean, I've tried it just keeps coming) will just infest every inch of my cards. I'm filtering everything that comes in and drawing air from the room becauae it's so much cooler than the outside. I'm kinda not really sure why he's drawing hot humid air from outside, seems really counterproductive. Kinda feel like the intake and exhaust are so close together it's just going to end up sucking that hot air back in but maybe I'm wrong.
@@zachc2678 for me, I don’t have a basement, and the rest of the house is climate controlled.
I don’t have an option of a mining dedicated room that I can close off from the rest of the house, and using my house HVAC system, or windows units is not efficient.
So the grow tent works for me, and I seem to be replacing enough volume of air that humidity is not an issue inside the tent.
Still looking for filter options for the intake, but since I am past the pollen season, that will be an issue for next spring to solve.
I figure one more month before the mining rig turns into my homes heating system :)
@@MichaelBellini yeah I didn't even have to use my furnace last winter save a couple times it randomly kicked on. I had rigs kinda scattered through the house and it kept everything nice and warm. That was a huge issue as soon as the summer came though, there was no way I could keep them cool unless I turned every room into a wind tunnel (which works great but it's not practical). In my livingroom a fan on each end of the room one in each window blowing in and out respectively worked fine to move enough air to keep the GPUs cool, but it also kept the room at whatever the outside temp was and it was then impossible to run AC, so I had to move everything Into the dusty dirty basement. Hence the tent. Also worked out well because I was able to put it right next to a window for exhaust and the circuit breaker and add another line for power. Really wish I just had a nice big clean open room though. My 'intake' is passive and the filters are just some furnace filters I had sitting around. 2 small inlets just a little bit off the ground to cut down on dust is all it really needed and the ac infinity inline fan pulls enough air to keep it under control. Not a bad solution, the tent is high quality (ac infinity). Not sure what the hell I'm gonna do with it In the winter unless I just run the exhaust Into the furnace intake and let the blower do it's job. Not sure how well that will actually work though.
ravencoin $5 to halving january 2022 🚀🚀🚀
Carefull the hot air comming out of the AC might go up and get in the intake of the grow tent
Already confirmed. The air exiting the AC unit is gone in about 3 seconds after going outside. All that said the AC is not long term. Just while I do basement renovations.
I'm curious how much airflow will be required for the 2.2kW you're planning
Yeah we shall see. I have considered using the additional 6" inline fan as another exhaust and doing 2 exhaust. I may need it.
@@TheHobbyistMiner I’m up to 5 fans
1x 8” exhaust
1x 6” exhaust
3x 6” intake
About 1185 CFM intake
I have found that the air replacement keeps the humidity down. It’s been 70-80% humidity here, but the tent is 30% and dry. I did some gelica balls to help keep things dry, and toyed with a mini humidifier
Hobbyist, what part of PA are you from? ( Eastern, Central, western )
Central
The Hobbyist Miner Oh, so am I.
I appreciate your vids they have been really helpful, Thanks!
This look familiar...
umm.. you have one GPU running and it's 80° I know that doesn't make any sense to you uhave your exhaust and intake right next to each other in the window you don't think one is going to suck from the other? Why don't you run the intake in the house and pull in air conditioned air
you never need a intake fan, just more and more exhaust fans
This changes with an intake filter of this caliber. If your tent isn't airtight it might start pulling air from every way if the filter is building up too much resistance
Not necessarily true from my experience
Depends on the resistance the filter is creating vs the exhaust pulling in air through the cracks
More POWER!
So the Filter will ofcourse cause resistance. There is no doubt. But it certainly is needed as you can imagine. Its a game, will continue to play and monitor it.
Too bad they do not ship this to Turkey. :(
