TD, do you have a make and model, understanding its probably been superceded, but my experience is the tiny bushes/bearing don't take the vibration.Quote:

Mine is not thermo switched but switched manually , I have it on during the day and switch it off before going to bed or if the temp drops outside .
Power consumption is next to nothing , supposed to be 1 watt and won't register on my amp Meter .
I set mine up to blow air in the back of the fridge and it then comes out the sides , with enough force to blow a cigarette lighter out .
Not concerned about durability so much as I snagged three of them for nothing , other two are smaller but will make sure I'm around when they trash the next desk top computer for sure .
PB , the fan is 100mm but can't give specs without removing the bugger , I know it's brushless and consumes same power as smaller 70mm fan in the picture below .

Two toggle switches on left are fridge and fan , love the switches that light up when they're on and off when not .
New overflow bottle and put in the compressor. Attachment 71030
It was so long ago but not a fan as such but more a blower,Quote:

TD, GQTD, thanks guys for the effort. I will start the hunt as a supplement to my temp activated unit.
Makes me wonder threedogs , what is better blower or fan ?
Balance, rotation and adjust front wheel bearings as the dreaded death wobbles were starting to rear is ugly head. She seems perfect now so a pretty cheap one. . . Got me leaky pinion fixed too. . .
GQTD, Different situation same idea, might be of interest, hopefully not too far off track. In my caravan I have a 12v compressor in a cabinet, original had a fan suck from compressor and push thru the condenser each cycle, I mounted a fan the other side of condenser to pull air away from the unit (on/off switch) mainly to run when traveling. Then put a temp switch on the compressor housing with a fan sucking air out of the cabinet when compressor started to work hard. This had a marked effect on cycle times.
That's actually where I heard of the idea , as to wether it works better blowing into or sucking air from the motor area I suppose is debatable, people also put the same fans inside the fridge for more consistent cooling supposedly.
