Size from the electrical plan backwards
A container is not sized by its outside length alone. The useful size is the power you can energize continuously, the heat you can reject at peak ambient temperature and the number of ASICs the design supports safely. A 20-foot system may be right for a constrained pilot; a 40-foot system is common when the site already supports industrial power and logistics.
The four numbers to model
Canaan's published 20-foot air-cooling mining-box example illustrates the point: it specifies a maximum miner count, voltage range, dimensions and safety standards, not a promise that every ASIC fleet will produce the same result.
Where to buy
Share the four numbers above with a mining-infrastructure supplier and request a configuration proposal. It is better to be told that a site needs a different transformer, tower or container size before freight is booked.
Bottom line
Start small only if the site design allows a clean expansion path. Start large only when power, heat rejection and operating support are already funded.
Sources and buying route
Container infrastructure is configured per site. Confirm electrical service, water quality, freight, commissioning, warranty coverage and final compatibility before placing an order. Request a project quote from MinerHaolan.
