How I use the Sun to Cool my House.

Step 3The Fan.

The Fan.
The hole that the old fan came from is 20 inches in diameter.
The Fan I chose for the unit is a single speed 16" after market car Radiator Fan.
It pumps lots of air and only draws 7 Amps.
I had to make an adapter to attach the fan to.
I used Masonite.
I cut a 20" circle and cut a 15" hole in the center of that.
I drilled a few holes and attached the fan with cable ties.
I mounted the wire cover off an old fan over the top of the fan to keep the Frogs out of the fan.
I should have mentioned earlier that the Air cooler has become a Frog habitat. Seven were living in it at last count. Any port in a drought eh.

I'm just an ordinary bloke with an inquiring mind. I love to help people and find "Instructables" a terrific place to do that.
