12 Volt Blower/Fan Recommendations
My sugar shack shack does not have electricity and I would like to add a blower or fan to my arch. Does anyone have a recommendation for blower or fan that can run off a 12 volt battery?
Big Mike, what size evaporator do you have?, As an evaporator gets bigger the blower does too.
Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Have you thought of putting a gas motor on a blower? A 12V won't run long hrs.
125-150 taps

I have a 3x5 hobby evaporator. Thought about a gas generator but didn't want the constant noise.
But once you see what a difference the blower makes to the boil you won't even hear the generator.Originally Posted by Big Mike

Get a inverter generator, preferably a honda EU 1000, or even a Honda EU 2200 companion, get a 100 ft cord and put the generator behind something. You won't even hear it , and they run 10 hrs on a gallon of gas.

I ran generators for 8 years, but never an inverter generator, 4 years on a 5500 watt gas and then 4 years on a 6000 watt diesel. I had mine 75' away and had a 4x8 plywood wall to minimize the noise. It helped a lot, but then I got grid power and that was a big plus.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like the generator is the way to go.
