High CFM cooling fans

unity · 10-21-2006, 09:35 AM

Hi all,

Been AGES since I've been on TanTalk, left the salon and now I am back! And when I came back I found out that some beds are having cooling fan failures that are increasing in frequency. We are looking for replacement fans that have a high CFM rating, something that will cool the beds better.

The fans are 220V 4.75" box fans, metal housing. The beds are Sunstar ZX30-3F from ETS made in 2001 (unfortunately made during their dark age when quality was job last).

Anyone have any suggestions. I've done some searching but all I can find are fans rated at 120CFM. But I honestly do not know what the stock fans are rated.

Thanks!

The last set of replacement fans I got from the local Electrical wholesaler, cheaper than from tanning suppliers for me, not sure what they are rated at, but I can check if I pop into the salon later.

Stock on that unit should be, 4" (220VAC, 110cfm)

Just double checked with ruler in hand... they are indeed 4.75" and 220/230v

I believe they go by the size of the fan blade, no?

If thats the case then I think they may still be 4.75 cause the box walls are so thin and the blades are close to the walls.... if that makes sense. I also did a search on that auction site and I came up with the same dimensions, 4.75 X 4.75 X 1.5". They are certainly bigger than a 4" computer cooling fan.

ETS says they are 4 inch and I believe thats the fan blade diameter.

4" fans are common and the CFM rating used in all tanning beds that use this fan are between 100 and 120 CFM.

These are a standard size. Available in 110 and 220 volt. You have nothing special there.

I think they are looking for more cfm out of a 4" fan.......... any thoughts.
