Dr Bob Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Just a quick question realy. We all know how fantastic Eco fans are and we know we have to be safety conscious re not putting them in a position to blast hot air at the cabin sides and induce a fire, however do the panel think a 2, 3 or 4 bladed or even the later multi bladed types are the best in relation to safety and performance? Thankyou for ANY input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are thermoelectric generators!!! Dont install one of these if you have Lithium batteries. You could fry lithiums in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bob Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Excuse me but I have a question! This is my first year of ecofan ownership and I have successfully made it through the winter by totally ignoring said ecofan (other fans are available). We maybe have a few more weeks of running the stove so my thoughts are now focussed on how to 'summerise' the fan so I can use it next winter. What do I need to do to it? Do I need to drain all the electrickerty out of it? How do I do that? I will stabilise the blades in bubble wrap so they dont get damaged and make sure it is not in a high temperature environment in case they start going round automatically. Do I need to keep it in the fridge? Yours faithfully, expectant muppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlt Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Fakeofan here for £19.99.... https://www.domu.co.uk/vonhaus-4-blade-stove-fan It may be worth noting that these have not undergone the strict testing and quality control regime of the genuine Ecofan and may blow the bloody doors off.

mrsmelly Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 If you place it on the roof of the boat and wire it like a solar panel to an mppt controler the heat from the roof steel will spin it fast enough to keep a large battery bank fully charged. Do ensure your mooring lines are well secured and in good condition or the boat may break loose due to the fans power and cause mayhem to passing boats.

Would have another, but the choice now........ Bod This is what I was thinking too Bod , does the amount of money invested have any effect on the Performance or lack thereof ?
