[Healeys] Kenlowe

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

Absolutely not. The blades are designed to provide highest efficiency when turning in one direction with relation to the air flow. The blades are airfoils and use Bernoulli's principles to move air and build static pressure. An aircraft wing doesn't produce much lift if it is flying backwards. You can still move air if the blade is turning in the wrong direction, but it won't be nearly as efficient.

For best results you may also want to remove the fan blade assembly and turn it around on the shaft
You are kidding right?

I don't have experience with Kenlowe, but I assume (and realize there is danger in that word) that these fans are all pretty much the same. That being said the direction, and therefore the flow of the fan can be reversed by switching the wires. For best results you may also want to remove the fan blade assembly and turn it around on the shaft since most of the newer fans use a  backward curved blade design for optimum efficiency.

Simon, I Googled Kenlowe and it showed it has a two wire lead.  You can wire it up as you please. Just check the two wires with a volt-ohm meter to see if either one is common to the fan housing. If not, then the motor to the fan is isolated from its housing. Should be no issue if it is isolated.

Hi Experts,
I have a 3000. It is Negative earth.
I have an opportunity to buy a Kenlowe, second hand, at a very good price. It is Positive earth.
I imagine that, if I reverse the wires, the fan will run the other way. That’s all very well….goes round and round but will, in effect, be pulling the air rather than pushing. Which is useless.
Is there a solution? Apart from not buying it!
Simon
