Guys, heatpumps take heat from outside to inside, or from inside to outside. They MOVE heat, aka they pump the heat. Hence Heatpump.
Nextt, Fog would not prevent this from working. Would probably transfer heat better due to higher humidity, but ultimately might decay the coil if a coastal region.
These units are fine, and I recently got one for my buddy to install for himself. However, eventually these linesets, not being brazed in will leak. Probably a few years down the road if done right, but they leak very slowly. A brazed connection is essentially metal melting the connection point closed off so no leaks if done right.
Next, if you oversize these, they wont dehumidify because when they slo down their capacity, the coil gets less cold. it takes a cold coil to dehumidify inside, so right sizing is important.
These are not meant to be data room units, and if its used in some mining operation, there should have been calculations to say that there is X amount of heat dissipation in watts from these GPus, and figure up what that load looks like and size accordingly. Of course with none of that running and 18K in a 10x12 room is WAY too big.
I actually wanna add one to my own garage but getting a power circuit run is gonna be a pain as my panel is full up, and my basement subpanel is almost full as well.
I think my install was quite a bit more involved than a lot of installs would normally be since I had to core through brick and run new conduit from my panel. For the most part the kit will have most, if not all of what you need. Check both boxes you get for damages, I got a unit from HD first that was half crushed, the unit I got from Costco had the fan cover bashed in a bit but I hammered it back out with a mallet and block. Too much trouble to return and wait for another unit to ship, and I can't see the damage now. Don't get halfway through your install and open the next box and see an issue!
Performance is great, it's very quiet and heats and cools AWESOME. I quickly got the house down to 65 degrees during the heat wave, and now use it nightly to keep the house comfortable. The air it puts out feels nice, I'm not sure how to describe it but it's different than air out of my vents from the furnace.
I'd definitely recommend these units though, definitely my favorite upgrade to my house.

I got $600 local rebate, on top of the federal $300 tax credit for installing a heat pump. Check what rebates your local power company is offering.
