For sure this is my current setup only using 24 amps in this new room for now but I'm adding 4 more stations all utilizing 24 amps /220 volts. I ordered the mini splits today hopefully will have them is 5-6 days.Pictures when you are done. Please
I always like to learn.
Was just thinking of using one for now and having an open exhaust with the door leading to the back room where there is a utility fan.Well 44,000 watts generates 150,134 btu's. There are 12,000btu's per ton. That means you need 12.5ton's of cooling not factoring in ambient temperatures and radiant heat and such.
3ton isn't gonna cut it.
edit: Looks like maybe the plan has changed a little or you are going to use multiple 3ton units.
What fans do you use?I do not cool my mining room ( AKA family room ). I used exhaust fan to remove hot air.
The servers are happy to run at 80-85 degree during normal summer month when the outside temperate in the upper 80's degree.
Putting more though into it for a future testing setup id like to see how something like this would work:https://www.amazon.com/iPower-Inline-Blower-exaust-Grounded/dp/B00CAHM75W/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1508889097&sr=8-8&keywords=8"+fan

Duct it properly and with numerous/redundant fans.

I'm most likely not going to be able to pressurize the attic another though I had was doing the exhaust from the room and using duct to lead it outside. We have a flat attic with about 2 ft in between the ceiling and the actual padding for the roof so it wouldn't be much for me to exhaust it straight outside.I have and use the fans I linked too.
Simply exhausting to the attic will not work unless your attic has enough exhaust/outside ventilation/holes and even if you pressurize the attic you'll get CFM exhaust drop due to restrictions unless you have some serious outside vents.
Just something to think about.
You have a TON of heat to exhaust you're going to need to measure sq/ft of ventilation to attic, out of attic, etc... not just guess.
Sounds like a good deal man! ill go ahead and try a few of those out on my other room setup. Just need to figure out how to water proof everything once it gets on the roof side. Our roof likes to hold water a bit so ill need to find a way to get it a few inches off the roof ducting wise.https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Inline-Variable-Controller-Ventilation/dp/B01DXYMM2I/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1508889097&sr=8-15&keywords=8"+fan&tag=servecom-20
They make 10" too.
Perfect for in-line duct exhaust. Run multiple. I've personally run them 15hrs a day all over summer months.
I use one in my office, I got another 8" (silent model) that's lower CFM but near silent.. end up using it at LAN parties to exhaust heat from the room since it doesn't affect mics or sound in-game.
They're super cheap, and you can get duct cheap too to test it out
That impressive good thing you don't have to worry about the fans being rained on.This is will be next summer project ( If I am still mining ), I have a outdoor cover porch to hose the homemade pod
Check this youtube video out.
I am fortunate that I have 2 x external double door in my family room to exhaust hot air easily.
This is how it sounds now Vocaroo | Voice messageJust a guess here and don't know the math on the size of the room and how many air change per period of time you need but I would bet you are going to need more exhuast. Sounds like you are prepared for that so let us know how it goes. And of course show us all that hardware lined up and running with audio so we hear how crazy loud are those fans running are.
