How does the fan know when to turn on

Asked by bigcountry June 27, 2015

Answers

Purchase the DS100 thermal switch so it turns on when the furnace does. It works great.

Is there a specified distance that this fan will move air?

Asked by Northerner July 15, 2016
2
Answers

Dear Northerner, If you are trying to move air that distance you should have a larger duct size since the friction/internal resistance of the duct will hamper any boost factor that might be gained from the small undersized duct and this type of booster fan. A better fan for this operation would be a axial turbine fan since they are designed for positive pressure operation compared to negative boost fans. You will be supplying minimal air flow improvement with a propeller type of fan.

Is it possible to mount the fan against the attic lover without any ductwork to rid the space of excessive heat

Asked by Ezzee August 9, 2016
2
Answers

Dear Ezzee, Yes you can, the shroud would need to be modified for the install to the vent louver for mounting. It could be done in several ways: Easiest way is to fasten 90 degree brackets to the shroud (pop rivet, sheet metal screws, short bolt/nut,) to hold the fan unit to the face of the louver. Be sure to provide clearance for the fan blade but if the brackets are installed flush with edge of the shroud it will be OK.You might need to install some verticle or horizontal pieces to fasten the angle brackets to. All depends on the size of the louver, even if the face dimension is larger the fan will still exhaust hot air. Connect a thermal switch/sensor in line with the fan to make it automatic or with a on/off switch.

Can this fan be installed verticily?

This fan can be installed in any position.

Is better to run an 8" fan and reduce to a 6" vent after fan? Or just do 6"? I do have it split after fan to two rooms

Asked by Mark January 7, 2016
1
Answer

The best option for your application is to run 8" flex all of the way and not reduce to 6". Reducing to 6" immediately after the fan can substantially reduces the airflow. If you must reduce to 6" go out at least 20" or so before reducing to 6"..

Can this fan be installed with the insulated flex duct vent tubes (such as R 8)? Any special instructions or suggestions

Asked by Mark January 7, 2016

Answer

Yes just install normally.

Good Fan for the Price
This fan was easy to install in my duct. I purchased it to pull heat from my wood stove from the first up to the second floor. Works good - minimal sound.

less than expected
According to the description, this fan unit is suppose to move up to 500 CFM of air. However, I plugged it in and the velocity of air coming out didn't give me confidence that it was even near 500 CFM. The motor is very small and just doesn't have the power to move that much air. The good news is that it is relatively quiet.

Response from Suncourt Product ExpertSep 27, 2016
Hello,

As you've described, the CFM will be 210 CFM. There are two airflow measurements shown on the side of the box and in the bullet points. Free Air CFM and Max Boosted CFM. Free Air CFM is the amount of air the fan flows all by itself. If you plug the fan in and set it on a bench it will move 210 CFM. Adding length of ductwork, elbows, or any other restrictions to the airflow will drop that CFM. The Max Boosted figure is the most the fan can flow before it becomes an impediment to the airflow. This assumes an existing airflow provided by your HVAC blower or any other fan in that duct. If you have specific questions about your installation feel free to call us at 800-999-3267.

Thanks,

A Little Light on Air Power - Couldn't Overcome Spring to Open Vent
I used this Fan to exhaust my garage using 'Speedi-Products 8 in. Round Galvanized Wall Vent with Spring Return Damper'. The Fan was unable to deliver enough pressure to overcome the resistance of the vent spring and so I removed the spring. As this is a garage, I'm not too concerned with a tight fit so the loss of the spring to hold the vent closed is no big deal. There seems to be a mismatch between too little power in the fan and too much force to hold the vent open. I live at 5000' altitude, so this may be a contributing factor; it may work fine at sea level. Overall the fan volume of air is adequate and it's really the spring that is too strong in my application.

Response from Suncourt Product ExpertJun 28, 2016
Hello,

Sorry you weren't happy with the output of the DB208C. This fan is designed to be mounted 6-10 feet from the output register and there are some things we can look at to see why the fan was not performing. If you would like to discuss any of these issues please contact us at 800-999-3267 M-F 8-4:30.

Thank you,

Works better than expected
I was very skeptical that this would work. Placed in a duct leading into a very inadequately insulated mud room and it raises the temperature at times a good 20 degrees when the furnace runs. It is audible but not annoying as it's under the kitchen. When operating it outside the duct in free air it's very quiet so I don't think I can blame the unit. Use it with the inexpensive DS100 switch so it turns on when the furnace runs otherwise it runs all of the time. Very easy to install as it comes with the AC plug that plugs into the switch or wall outlet. In time we'll see how long it lasts.

In-line fan
Nice in-line fan. Quiet and moved sufficient amount of air for utility closet were cleaning chemicals are stored.

Not as powerful a fan as I wanted
The fan is rated at 500 cfm, which should forcefully move a lot of air, but it is a very gentle breeze not very strong. I bought the 8" fan and after a week bought a 6" reducer and new 6" flex duct which helped increase the air flow.

Better than expected
Moves the air as promised. My only concern after reading some of the reviews was - how quiet is it really? It's been running for a week, now, and I have to put my hand to the vent to feel the airflow to confirm it's running. It is very quiet.

good flow, a bit noisy
had a room off the far end of the house. installed this fan in the duct work. it raised the temp by about 10 degrees. close to the temp of the rest of the house. you can hear the fan run but it's not a big deal. must use with a temp censer.

Works good
This fan has been installed for one week and works good at this point. It made a big different in my living room. If you order this product remember to order the ducstat to turn it off and on.
