You can run low RPMs and not overheat any motor with an external blower... =

OK. Let's try a fan. I was thinking oftaking a used vac nozzel and=
shaping it =

to the motor to draw air through. Then cover all the holes in the motor =
with =

plates leaving one for in and one for out. What kind of fan will do? =
I'm =

running 120vdc. What small fan will give me the flow, not take too many =
amps =

and run on 120vdc? Do I suck through or blow through? Lawrence Rhodes=

>>PS: I'd be surprised if you can get 350 CFM through 3" hoses without a

The 350 was off the cuff, I will go look at the box.

At any rate, the more air movement the better, for anything that makes heat.


Mark.

"Also, I am using a marine in line bilge blower, 12 volt,350cfm, 3" in 3"
out. "
I hope it is quieter than the 160 cfm bilge blower I purchased. I quit
using it to ventilate a battery box because it was so loud. Much louder
than a 250 cfm axial fan I use.

Agreed,
What I like about the low voltage stuff is most of it is easily fed lower
voltage and run variable speed. Only run it fast when needed. That is my
goal.

Sincerely,
Mark Grasser
