fan vs blower on a rad (pics)

[vonkaar]

I have a mesh grill over each of the dual ports on my blower. I occasionally pick a few stray objects out of it... stuff like... post-its and rodents.

Also...

For those of you talking about typical push/pull methods... Blowers can't be made to run backwards. They pull in air through the middle of the axis and push it according to the surrounding chasis. Most blowers have a single outlet and a single inlet. The fan itself hardly moves any air unless mounted in a proper chasis. The shrouds are often made by aftermarket companies, depending on their needs. That is why most 'fan' manufacturers advertise their blower fans, not a completed blower chasis. It's the overstock / surplus dealers that get ahold of the 'finished' product.

SO... if you wanted a push / pull configuration with a blower, you would either need a blower with a standard axial fan, or some nifty mounting in which the side inlet of the radial fan mounted to the 'pull' side of the radiator. That would look really stupid though.

There is no better way to test something than to expose yourself to self-mutilation.

Outstanding. I like that. You're harder than woodpecker lips.

Holy lord! How loud is that thing!?!

 

[Korndog]

Holy lord! How loud is that thing!?!

yes, i want to know too!
did u ever try sticking ur finger in there??
did it hurt..?

 

[CrashOveride]

LMAO... I cam trying to think how I could use it on in my case...

 

[vonkaar]

Quiet as a mouse ^_^. Seriously... I don't have a 120 that's quieter... and some of ya'll might remember how many 120s I've had. Supposedly, it pushes 670cfm at 60Dba. But... I've heard 60Dba fans before and this thing seems way quieter than that. Maybe EBM is being generous with their noise ratings... shrug.

I sort of feel like I'm crapping on his thread talking about my stuff like this.

I'm glad the blower worked out for you Korndog. Definitely leave that thing out in front... you can never underestimate the value of a mean looking blower in places you wouldn't expect =p. It could give your case an automotive... MUSCULAR look to it . As long as the inlet is left unobstructed, your front bezel should fit right over that with little trouble (dremeled to hell, of course).

 

[cstarritt]

if he stuck his finger in that he would probobly go into shock when he pulled out his hand and saw a stump and therfor not feel a thing.

 

[iNSiGMA]

vonkaar, whered u get your blower?

 

[vonkaar]

PM me, I really really don't want to take any more emphasis off Korndog's nice review.

KD, I didn't see any Torin DDG 75-80 24v 14watts on the torin-sifan site...

Could you double check that model name/number?
Also, from where did you buy it?

they also sell DC powersupplies, and you can get a 24v 2amp transformer for it there too.
