Your Avalon Q is dumping hot exhaust straight into your room, raising ambient inlet temps and quietly throttling performance before you ever check the dashboard. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud from CryptoCloaks is the direct fix: a precision-engineered PETG duct adapter that connects your miner’s rear exhaust to standard flex duct in under five minutes, with zero tools required.

What Is the Canaan Avalon Q Exhaust Shroud

The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is an in-house engineered duct adapter built specifically for the rear exhaust port of Canaan’s Avalon Q bitcoin miner. CryptoCloaks designed this part from scratch. It is the original shroud for this miner, not a copy of a competitor’s part or a scaled-up generic adapter. The shroud channels hot exhaust airflow directly into a 6-inch or 8-inch flex duct run, so you can push that heat outside, into a garage, or into a dedicated exhaust system.

Without a proper exhaust adapter, the Avalon Q pushes a high volume of hot air into the surrounding space. That heat recirculates as inlet air, raises operating temperatures, and forces the miner to work harder over time. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud creates a sealed, low-resistance exhaust path that keeps inlet temps stable and your miner running in its optimal thermal window.

Material selection is not an afterthought here. PLA softens at relatively low temperatures and can warp or deform when exposed to sustained hot exhaust from a running ASIC. PETG maintains structural integrity in exactly this kind of thermal environment. CryptoCloaks prints every Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud in PETG, not whatever thermoplastic is cheapest or easiest to run on a print farm.

Why CryptoCloaks

CryptoCloaks has been engineering bitcoin mining accessories since 2017. Ricky, the founder, personally designs, prints, and ships every order from his shop. When the Avalon Q reached the market, CryptoCloaks was the first to develop a dedicated exhaust shroud for it. That original design now carries 16 verified five-star reviews, with zero reported fitment issues or heat-related failures across all of them.

The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud mounts directly onto two existing rear screws on the Avalon Q chassis. No drilling. No adhesive. No modification to your hardware, period. If you need to service the miner or move it to a new location, the shroud comes off in seconds. This reversible, tool-free approach is deliberate: home miners need parts that adapt to their setup, not parts that permanently alter expensive equipment.

CryptoCloaks also offers a full catalog of home mining accessories for ASIC miners, so you can build out your entire home mining setup with parts sourced from one proven, bitcoin-native maker. Every product in the line ships from the same hands that engineered it.

How It Compares

The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is the originator in this product category. Some copies have appeared since CryptoCloaks released the design, and a DIY print file exists on Reddit. Here is a direct comparison of what each option actually delivers:

The DIY Reddit file option requires you to own a printer, source PETG correctly, dial in print settings for a functional fit, and do your own quality control. The competing commercial copy ships an unverified design with no public review history and no named maker behind it. The CryptoCloaks version ships tested, proven, and backed by 16 customers who have already run it on their hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this shroud fit both 6-inch and 8-inch flex duct?

Yes. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is offered in two distinct versions: one with a 6-inch outlet collar and one with an 8-inch outlet collar. You select your preferred duct size at checkout before adding to cart. Both versions share the same rear mounting interface and the same installation process, so the only practical difference between them is the collar diameter. Standard 6-inch and 8-inch flexible aluminum or insulated duct from any hardware store connects directly to the outlet without adapters. If you are unsure which size fits your setup, the 6-inch version suits most typical residential installs. The 8-inch version is the better choice for longer duct runs or where minimizing static pressure matters, since the larger diameter moves the same volume of air with less resistance.

How does the Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud attach, and does it require any drilling or tools?

The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud slips directly onto two existing rear screws on the Avalon Q chassis. No drilling, no adhesive, and no tools are required at any step of the installation. The mounting points are the factory screws already present on the back of the miner, so the install does not modify your hardware in any way. The full process takes under five minutes from opening the package to having your flex duct connected and secured. Removal is equally fast. Because the shroud leaves no permanent mark on the miner, it is safe to use on units still under warranty or units you plan to resell. This tool-free, reversible mounting approach reflects how CryptoCloaks designs every product in its mining accessories line.

Is PETG safe to use near the heat output of the Avalon Q?

PETG is specifically well suited to this application. The material has a glass transition temperature well above what the Avalon Q’s exhaust air reaches under normal operating conditions. PLA, by contrast, has a significantly lower glass transition temperature and can soften, deform, or warp when exposed to sustained hot exhaust airflow from a running ASIC. This is not a hypothetical risk: PLA parts have failed in similar applications, causing ducts to detach or seal poorly over time. CryptoCloaks uses PETG across its ASIC accessory line precisely because it holds its shape in thermal environments where PLA cannot. Every Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud that leaves CryptoCloaks is printed in PETG, not substituted with a cheaper filament to reduce production cost.

Pick your size, pick your color, and put your Avalon Q’s exhaust where it belongs: outside your room. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is in stock, engineered by the team that built the original design, and ships direct from Ricky’s shop. Bitcoin accepted. Made in America. Ships in 2-3 business days.

Why the Avalon Q Wins

1. Three Power Modes = Three Use Cases

Most miners force you into a binary choice: industrial power or nothing. The Avalon Q gives you flexibility:

• Eco Mode (54 TH/s, 800W): Plug into any standard outlet. Perfect for testing or locations where you can’t run dedicated circuits.
• Standard Mode (72 TH/s, 1,300W): Single 15A circuit. Most home miners’ sweet spot.
• Maximum Mode (90 TH/s, 1,674W): Needs a 20A dedicated circuit. For operators ready to scale.

You start in Eco, scale to Standard as your electricity situation allows, then max out if you add a circuit. No hardware change needed.

2. Efficiency That Matters

At 18.6 J/TH, the Avalon Q burns less power per unit of hashrate than nearly every competing miner. This matters when bitcoin is in a bear market and electricity costs kill margins. Lower power consumption = longer runway in a bear cycle.

3. No Tariff Overhead

We ship from Colorado with no tariff pass-through. Most online retailers add 25-35% to cover import duties. At $1,499.99, we’re $100-200+ cheaper than major resellers.

4. Solo Mining Ready

The Avalon Q is engineered for operators who want to mine solo blocks and earn the full 6.25 BTC reward, not share with pools. It has native support for Stratum V2, the new mining protocol that gives solo miners real advantages against pools.

Power Mode Comparison: Find Your Setup

Pro Tip: If your breaker box isn’t equipped for a 20A circuit, the Standard 72 TH/s mode gives you 80% of maximum hashrate with a standard 15A setup. Most home miners operate here.

Real-World Performance & Profitability

Hashrate vs. Electricity Cost

Your profit depends on two things: your hashrate and your electricity rate.

• At $0.10/kWh (US average): Standard mode (72 TH/s, 1,300W) = ~$40-50/month profit in current market
• At $0.07/kWh (cheap region): Standard mode = ~$80-120/month profit
• At $0.15/kWh (California, expensive): Standard mode = -$10 to +$10/month (break-even or slight loss)

The Avalon Q’s 18.6 J/TH efficiency means you’re burning fewer kWh per TH than competitors. Over 12 months, this adds up to $500-1000+ in electricity savings.

Solo Mining vs. Pool Mining

At 72 TH/s in Standard mode, you’ll find a solo block roughly every 45-60 days (depending on network hashrate). When you do, you get 6.25 BTC (~$280,000 at current prices) minus pool fees ($0). Compare that to pool mining: same hashrate, $40/month profit, but no block rewards.

Bottom line: Pool mining is steady income. Solo mining is lottery-style, but the payout is massive. The Avalon Q is built for miners willing to play both games.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will it work in my apartment/home?

A: Probably. Eco mode (800W) plugs into any outlet. Standard mode needs a dedicated 15A circuit (like for a space heater). Maximum mode needs 20A. Check your breaker panel. If you’re unsure, start in Eco and upgrade circuits if needed.

Q: How loud is it really?

A: Eco mode is 45 dB (whisper-quiet, like a refrigerator). Standard mode is ~55 dB (like normal conversation). Maximum mode is ~65 dB (noticeable, like an office AC unit). Basements and dedicated rooms are ideal. Bedrooms, not so much.

Q: What’s my breakeven point?

A: At $0.12/kWh electricity, Standard mode breaks even in roughly 18-24 months if bitcoin price holds steady. At $0.07/kWh, you’re profitable in 12-14 months. Below $0.06/kWh, you’re cash-flow positive in under a year. Use a mining profitability calculator (link below) for your specific situation.

Q: Can I solo mine with this?

A: Yes. The Avalon Q supports Stratum V2 and can point at any solo mining pool (or your own node). You won’t win blocks every day, but when you do, you earn the full 6.25 BTC reward. Most miners run it solo, knowing the variance, but you can switch to a pool if you want steadier income.

Q: Does it work with existing mining software?

A: Yes. Avalon Q uses standard SHA-256 mining. You can point it at any Stratum-compatible pool or solo mining endpoint. It comes with the Avalon Family app for simple setup, but power users can run cgminer or custom mining software.

Q: How is it shipped from Colorado?

A: We ship via FedEx/UPS with insurance. Most orders arrive next business day in the continental US. International orders ship DHL or UPS. Fully packed, protected, and tracked.
