I'm guessing that forward inclined means the blades tip inwards in the direction of rotation? And so pull from the center and expel to the outside? (btw, the forum editor wants to change o-u-t-w-a-r-d-s to ****wards - is this some kind of rude language I don't know about?) Backwards inclined means the reverse of this? Blades tipped to the outside? Flow towards the center? This would mean that, in spite of looking like centrifugal pumps, squirrel cage fans are actually using aerodynamic lift? Thanks! Bob |

Thank You! Finally,someone who see's the difference between the 2 fans besides me. The BLADES. They will perform differently, and I'm not sure how different. Big Ben, will make that decision when he is done. Not, any squirel cage will do. They are not all designed the same. How many 80mm 12v fans have you seen that have different cfm flow and rpm speeds. I've seen many.

ok, so who is going to become the squirrel cage fan man ?
it is clear we need more info I've got to believe that a blower configured to suck is different than one designed to blow |

jlrii just became our defacto "expert", just for coming up with that distinction!

Rubber grommets will dampen the vibration from the blower. I'm in the process of putting a frame into the case, to hold it into place. A mix of steel and aluminium, a little riveting, etc. I have muffler tape, which would be ideal. The issue right now is that the fiberglass shroud I built just barely fits over the core, and the inlet/outlet actually interfere with it, a little bit. Otherwise, the core is already sitting on sticky foam strip insulation, again for sound dampening. I'm also looking to paint the inside of the case in flat black, so I'm going to have to do this "American Chopper" style, i.e. build the raw components, assemble, then strip it all apart for painting, then re-assemble the whole kit-n-kaboodle. |

I do not recommend this impeller for anyone who's not primarily interested in silence. It has a tendency to shake when run at 12V, even when carefully installed. I'm using this one at 6V, and get about the same cooling (CPU diode but system otherwise exactly the same) as a single L1A at 7V (or two of 'em stacked at 5V) - and about the same noise level as the two L1As at 5V - so somewhere between 18 and 22dB. It's an improvement over the two fans stacked as it's much smaller - and I get no change in my cooling when I replace the filter cover on the PC bezel (it's a FS020, radiator in lower front, pull only). From looking at the Panaflo L1A fan curve for 7V, I'm probably getting 25CFM or less through the radiator. I've been looking for one of the 5" or 6" cage fans from JapanServo (they seem to be the only cage fan manufacturers focused on making this kind of fan quieter). I found what appear to be 4" 24V JS fans and ordered a couple to play with. I am hoping that these might move the same amount of air at 12V as the one I'm using now does at 6V - but with a bit less noise. Last edited by bobkoure; 07-22-2004 at 09:52 PM.

Tonight at work I saw the biggest blower I've ever seen. The cage itself was about 30" in diameter and about 18" deep, no motor though. I'm guessing its part of an indutrial AC system since it was coming from Carrier.

The blade differences dont affect the basic principles of the fans, which you seemed to have wrong: Quote:
jlrii - thanks for the link - its interesting. I have a twin Radial "AW" blade type 120VAC blower that i am looking to build into a rad box. Looks like it'll do fine. Last edited by Althornin; 07-23-2004 at 08:55 PM. |

No prob. feels nice to provide info instead of just sucking it up a for a change.

A big "Thank You!" to jrlii! That document you linked did a good job of clearing up some confusion that I didn't even realize I had
It looks like the ComairRotron impellers I found at AllElectronics were "reverse" blades. According to that doc, these are best suited for suction, and, luckily enough, that's what I did with one of 'em. No wonder it worked fine without a housing. This means my previous statement about cage fans working fine for suction was an over-generalization on my part. Apologies to anyone I mislead with my ignorance. As a "low noise" guy, I'm still interested in the JapanServo cage fans. I found some interesting air flow diagrams in this JapanServo cage fan brochure This first is for a forward "sirocco" styled cage The second is for the JapanServo modifications to it to lower noise output. I find it interesting how the first part of the longer blades looks pretty much like reverse blades - that then turn the air "forward" with the aid of "helper blades" - and none of the blades curve forward as much as the "forward" blades in the first picture. I'd still love to find a 5" or 6" JapanServo cage fan. If you run into one on the net, please let me know. Thanks! Bob |

While I'm at it (and only slightly tongue-in-cheek) if you don't care about noise, for $16 you can get a fan optimized for suction rated at 600CFM (looks like it might be used to provide suction for a "whole house" vacuum.
It might even be practical to but this thing in the basement and use lightweight 3" ducting (often sold in the US as plastic downspout - really cheap) to duct the suction up to wherever you need it... |

Just ordered some new pieces parts, decided to build a rad box. It "should" be fairly quiet using a "few" of the fans Zogthetroll came up with an a couple of real odd single pass heater cores I found. All going to fit in a Chenbro 19 in 4U rackmount case, with empasis on keeping external air velocities low. Will post pics when it gets put together, which may be a month or so (I'm lazy)

Upon disassembly and inspection, they are not the quiet bladed japanservo fans I was looking for, but a simple forward blade (will follow up with photos - probably uninteresting except that this cage fan pretty much fits where you'd put a 120mm axial fan - two of the three mounting holes line right up with the holes for a 120mm fan). Bob PS: anybody want 'em? |

Do you mean they're too loud at 7-8v and louder than your L1A's at 7-8v?
Do they move more air than the L1a's at that speed/voltage/noise level? Will they turn at 5v? I suppose one advantage of that fan is they could be setup to exhaust out the side of the case easily w/o complicated shrouding. |

Actually, the cut off voltage between useful flow and not is at about 9.25V (this for a 24V fan, remember)
At 9.25V it's definitely louder than a L1A at 7V, but definitely not as loud as a M1A at 12V (so somewhere between 25 and 35 dB). It doesn't get much louder until 11V or so. At 12V it's about the same as the M1A. It's too loud for me (editorial comment). It seems to suck/blow plenty of air at 9.25V. Attaching the radiator to the shroud doesn't seem to make much difference (so enough pressure that it isn't an issue pulling air through a 6x6x2 core) I'd been hoping that these blowers would have the japan servo "silent" blades (sort of a cross between reverse and forward blades with helper blade-lets to help with the transition). They did not. Anyway, it's a convenient sized package to mount on a coolshroud and here's a picture of the blades Note how they're cupped forward. I'd love to see how a similarly sized package with the reverse/forward blades might do. From the JapanServo brochure it might be the SCBD or E1540 series. I wonder if JapanServo would be willing to sell these in "quantity one" to a hobbyist...? |

Here's the Nidec Gamma 30 I referred to earlier. Im using it to cool my biological processor. Hazy summer days in FL can be hell while idling in traffic on my bike. This really helps.
For regular PC use its a bit noisy compared to a comparable sized axial fan, although it does put all the output air in a small "footprint" ( good for heatsinks )

It worked - although where I would really have appreciated the extra cooling was on the track - and this helmet only had DOT (needed Snell M85). No picture - sorry... |
