Questions & Answers

What is the recommended maximum amperage if I am to run this fan using a 12V battery?

Neither the front nor the rear "cigarette lighter" outlets in my VW have fuses that can handle 30 Amps (the wiring is suitable for I would not pull more than 22 to 25 pounds with a globally accepted safety factor of 75% There might be nothing wrong with the fact that it pulls 24 amps from it, so it might be safe to use it to run this fan. In addition, the other issue of how long you would want the fan to run on just battery power must also

Are there any questions about the voltage rating of this fan? It runs off of dc or ac current. ?

As far as the Ratung is concerned, I am not sure

Is this likely to drain the battery of a car when used for over two hours with the car ?

Leaving the fans running for long periods of time while the car is off will reduce the battery's life and drain it more. Car batteries aren't designed to operate with fans. In addition to handling what the car needs, they handle things like air pressure pumps, lights, etc. that an individual might occasionally need. It depends if you use it for more than four hours. (A typical car battery may have a 100 Ah battery and you need at least 75% charge to start the car. it probably would be able to hold it, but you should check the type In any case, deep discharge cycles are not good for typical car batteries and I wouldn't recommend them unless you have a battery that was designed for deep discharge cycles (such as a golf car battery).

Can you tell me what the CFM rating is? Specs state that a very wide range is available, 270-280 Where are you?

This unit of measurement is 270 cubic feet per minute, which is roughly equal to 456 cubic meters per hour, which is what "CMH" stands for.

That's just right for what I need! In short, nbsp Considering all things considered, this is a good blower

5/5

First, I bought the unit, and then I researched it. Its amp draw is greater than that of some I bought this blower for a DIY spot cooler but discovered through my own research that these units run for years as intended but when run for long stretches (like DIY spot coolers) their lifespan will be drastically reduced. I would not recommend this blower for long-running DIY projects. However, I kept the blower but replaced it with one that could tolerate long run times much better. Using the SeaFlo gave me the convenience of having a portable fume extractor for my soldering projects, something I always need but won't spend money on (DIY type person). While soldering, it is run briefly along with it and shut off between. In real-life, this is what it is intended You should not touch the ice chest air cooler if you are working on it.

The fan is very powerful, but is very loud as well

3/5

I purchased the fan because I was building a DIY air conditioning system. Having said that, in this case, the fan seems to be fine, but I am unsure if I got a bad fan or not, as mine lasted less than a month, which to me, would seem like it should last a lot longer. As far as I know, there are still fans on computers that are over 10 years old, which can still function as fans so hopefully that will help someone make their decision.

A powerful person, but NOT a quiet one

4/5

As loud as a vacuum cleaner, this thing sounds like this. To use it as a homemade air cooler, I was hoping just to use it as a white noise machine or just to have it a bit louder. However, when I'm awake or in the same room as it, it's way too loud for me to even fall asleep close to it. This might work in a garage or shop, or for someone who does not have particularly.

This machine makes a lot of noise, but it also moves the A replacement air conditioner was bought for my mail car when the air conditioner quit working

5/5

I like it, but the noise is a problem. This had to be wired directly to the battery since it was too powerful for the 12V socket, so I took it out of the wall. again, it is designed for use in the marine environment. Still, I would recommend it to those using it in this application.

It has the word "quiet" on it, but it is incredibly noisy

3/5

This thing is SUPER NOISY. I connected it to a Jackery 240, and it moved across the floor on its own

That said, it was so powerful, it moved across the floor by itself. I was able to hear it all the way on the other side of the house, even muffled with pillows. Because I was disturbing people on the adjacent campsite, I had to turn it off during camping.

In the long run, cheap and poor do not make sense

3/5

Blower moves air fine but dies after a couple uses. After an hour I think I got a use out of it.

The fan is quiet, but it has little airflow

3/5

The pros are The price is low and the location is quiet. The ad was advertised at 100cfm. I guess I would only use half of that frequency.

One that has the connector already attached is needed

3/5

Getting everything connected is not an easy procedure if you aren't familiar with it. I got it for my dad and he had a lot of trouble with it. He thought it would be as simple as plugging in and playing.
