MR. gasket electric fan VS Permacool electric fan-Anyone installed one of these? 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be philip bradley on  Sat Mar 1 03:57 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I would go by the amperage draw of the motor. If it is below 10 amps and the maker is claimingg 2500 cfm, beware. I would go with something having at least around 12 amps draw once running (more on start up) on a turbo motor. I don't worry so much about the noise. If noise is critical, curved blades are quieter. But not as efficient, so you have to factor that in. I used a Scotts 16 inch Terminator fan for about 5 years on my 745T with good results, and a Flex a Lite M150 on my 83 242T for about 10 years with good results, and am trying twin Spal 11 inch on the larger radiator I recently put in my 745T. These will draw over 20 amps and may be more than I need.
