table top fan

[tbear]

I've been reading alot about blowers on evaps. Would just a small table top fan blowing into the "air intake" on a cement block arch help? If it raised the boil rate at all it would be worth it to me. What do you think?

I used a "table top" fan in my ash pan last year, I am thinking it would do wonders for your situation tbear. Really gets things crankin'

get one of the small box fans and point in directly in front

It will help. If you can find a squirrel cage it will work alot better.

I just bought a 265CFM squirrel cage. Having a plenum built for it as we peak for AUF. Should be slick. Also got a rheostat for it.

Adk1..where did you get the reostat?did you get it where purchased the blower?

If you want to go cheeeep on blowers, head down to the goodwill/salvation army/junk shop/tag sale and pick up a hair dryer. It's a small version of a squirrel cage, and will blow against resistance better than an axial fan will.

Or go to the junk yard and pick up an air injection blower (AKA emissions pump) from a car. Quieter.

And you don't need a rheostat on a squirrel cage. Put a damper on the intake. Or a piece of cardboard, but 2 minutes with tin snips and an old can will make a snazzier job of it.

I made a blower set up for this year with a pool heater blower and my rheostat is a dimer switch (the one with a knob) work mint.
