All electric fans are the same?

[alan_thomas]

Er - No! I was tempted to buy one of the budget electric fans on Ebay rather than shell out £180 odd quid on a Kenlowe fan. Obviously the fans would fit and they look well built but luckily before committing to buy I compared their specs. A 16" fan from Kenlowe has a 225W motor, the Ebay cheap fans are 80w for the same 16" size so as Watts = power the Kenlowe fan is nearly 3 times as powerful as the cheap one and the power in afan = the cooling air shifted.

So it looks like I will have to continue saving for the proven article and a warning to read the small print before purchase. - Alan

Hello Alan,

What about the Pacet? What are the stats on this one?

I am also in the market for an electric fan (only- no control kit)

Regards, John.

Have you tried going direct to Kenlowe's http://www.kenlowe.com/

I got a good deal when I bought mine. It's worth a try.

I've got the 16" on my car, it does what it says on the box.

Paul.

Pacet is another 'recognised' manufacturer and have a good site giving all the specs the following link is for their 'Clubkit' fan

http://www.pacet.co.uk/clubkit.htm

The spec gives actual free air delivery in CFM cubic feet / min as well as the current. Watts are calculated by multiplying the current by the voltage (12 in this case) so they would appear to be much stronger than the cheap Ebay ones but not up to the Kenlowe.

Kenlowes specs are on their site here, click on the link on this page http://www.kenlowe.com/fans/specifiers/fans03.htmlthis chart gives the flow for a range of radiator types as well as free air delivery.

Strange that the main sites for Kenlowe and Pacet are within 2 miles of each other just down the road from me.

Have a look at Stafford Vehicle Components (S.V.C.) site, he has comparative performance tables that are well worth a look. I bought a 16" Pacet from him 5 years ago and it's a cracker. Martin.

Strange that the Kenlowe website hasn't been updated to list the dual-speed 14" heavy duty fan that they recommend for the Stag if you phone them up and speak to them.

Cheaper than the 16" it can be wired to come on a low speed with the ignition and high speed with a switch, or low speed with a thermo-switch and high-speed with a manual over-ride, or just hit the high-speed with a thermo-switch, which is how I have mine as it is a back-up to the original.

Excellent air-moving power and is less of a squeeze than the 16".

SPAL are the cooling fan of choice by many high performance specialists in Australia at the moment. A US brandreadily availabledown underand probably also available in the UK. Most likely the best fan available but may be more than you need.Spin
