It seems like the manifold would be the most complicated part. I envision once that’s done, it would just need plumbing from an exterior radiator, go into an an attic (in my case) and I would drop some pipes into the wall and add a larger diameter quick disconnect for hot and cold coming out near the bottom of the rack. Then hoses would go from the walls quick/no spill disconnects to the one on the bottom of the manifold in the rack. (The top end would be capped off; unlike the model in the image). Hot water exits the second manifold, flows out through the wall, attic, then circulates through the radiator. The rest would be the actual (petg/pex?) hoses that allow water to flow into the server. The only part I’m uncertain of is the best spot to place a pump/resorvoir, ideally it would be easy to access but out of the way at the same time… One thing I’m seeing in mining rig containers are an interior closed loop system which does a heat exchange with an external loop that has a much larger system. I imagine if a radiator is outside on a 110deg day, this might be the only way for this to work? Have any of you guys attempted this before? I’m curious what other approaches have been, if any. Just tired of the room being hot, trying to find the best way for it to remain cool while running some AI rigs.
