Hello community

I'm from Vietnam, my English is not good so i will write these sentences short and easy.

I attached my workplace picture for reference.

So here is our current situation:

1. We have small room with 42 meters square
2. 2 printers
3. 22 PCs

We use two air conditioners which 18000W each and they have to fight with 22 PCs + 2 Printers.

I did some recently research which point out heat from each pc will nearly equal power usage.

So it will be 200W for each PC multiple by 22 ==> 22*200= 4400 degree?

I'm thinking about isolate each PC Case and vent them outside of the room by big fan.

Is there anyway i can make this idea become realistic, make them practical thus save thousands of dollars each year from electrical bill.

Any ideas is warmly welcome :)

Best regards

The computers power draw is a good rough estimate of its heat output in Watts. Though remember that a computer is rarely running at full load, while sitting idle or under light usage I would expect each to be outputting maybe 30-50W at most.
If anything the monitors attached to them would be pumping out more heat than the computers at any particular time.

So your current solution of having air-conditioners cool down the room is too costly, and your looking for some way to get rid of the heat to the outside air rather than outright cancelling it out with air-conditioners.

One idea that comes to mind is too have all the machines in an adjoining room that is well ventilated, then just run the display and peripheral cables out too this...

One idea that comes to mind is too have all the machines in an adjoining room that is well ventilated, then just run the display and peripheral cables out too this room and hook them up to the PC's. However that is pretty heavily reliant on having that adjacent room, and having to punch a large hole through the wall to run those cables.

Really, this kind of question is one you should pose to an architect or a networking professional and then figure out the logistics with a construction company.
Networking solutions, we don't know how much cash you have to work with, we don't know whats available in your area, we don't know if you have the expertise to build and maintain it. I also hazard to say the people of this forum don't know what how to help you construct a network of this scale, or at least not beyond the basics.
We can recommend installing industrial fans in particular walls, but we don't know if that's a load bearing wall and cant be touched. We don't know if the whole wall is just a slab of concrete, and will be far too too much trouble to work with. We don't even know the building outside the one room you have given us.

Basically, contact industry professionals. Computer enthusiasts from the other side of the world to you cant really advise you on what to do in this situation.

Thanks you so much for sharing idea and though.
Can you give some more advice with my new idea now.

1. My room height is 3.3 meter about 10 feet i think
2. I will try to put all my cases inside the box which have door to open them, cable will be drop from a hole inside the box
3. A ventilation tube which have correspond tube + fan to suck hot air from the case. I'm thinking about 25x25mm fan
4. A stronger fan will suck these hot air outside the house.
