Any suggestions on a fan to move some air in a shop building? Been looking at some 24", 30" and 36" fans. Some say the drum fans are real noisy, which I don't want.
Youngest son is a HVAC tech. Has access to squirrel cage motors from old units. He pulled one out of an old unit and I have it on the floor in my shop, 50x30 and it moves air throughout the shop and does it quietly, like squirrel cage blowers do. It's about 13" in diameter and has different taps for fan speed. He must have wired it on high. Power cord plugged into regular duplex gets warm and it's a new enough duplex and I just put a new plug on it after I thought the old one was lossy.....it's the amps, not the plug. But it works and at 11 cents a kWH, I figure a buck a day is worth it.
