[Healeys] Kenlowe

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

This is one of two topics raised in my original post. See:-

"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?" 

Looking at the photos, it seemed to me that the blades had a particular
shape and that it was not symmetrical one side to the other. So I sort of
assumed that reversing the direction would not be the whole solution. 

Whilst I should like to be sure of this before I commit to a fan, it does
seem that the blades have that very particular design for a reason.

Of course, when/if I buy the fan, it may not be physically possible to
reverse the blades! 

Keep it coming!

Simon

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
