Can this be run to pull air? I'd like to use two fans in a push-pull arrangement (the pull fan with fixed louvers and a screen).

Not sure of the function of your application. The louvers are lightweight, and passively open with air movement. I have used them in combination with fans to force hot air out of attic areas. They work well in this application.

I guess that you can install it backwards. It will look funny. It will let in the rain. Animals can push their way in so you will need a screen. Buy one and try it and do not be sad if it does not function properly.

Interested also in a pulled air configuration. I want to use is as a whole house fan in my master bed which has a gable interior wall to attic. Im thinking of using a very breathable filter/foam material before the motor instead of this vent on the pulled side. The material will be visible inside the bedroom. On the pushed air side (inside attic) I will use this vent.

I love the fan! On low & medium speed is fairly quiet. High is loud to me. As far as air flow, yes it does run the complete louver section.

There is a switch on both sides of the fan so you can either use the fan to pull fresh air in or use it to push air out (or through) if another window in another area of the house is open. Fan does a great job for what I need it for.

No the fan isn't strong enough for that. I had to buy another fan just for my use.

Yes you can. Best and most powerful fan I have ever owned or even seen or heard of. When and if this thing dies I will order another one, no question.

The fan needs to be hung from a box. It would be possible to swag it, you would need to design some features not included in the box. It's best to hang this from a power box.

I'm not sure because when mine runs vertically the louvers float a bit from straight out to down. So my best guess is that with the additional lift required the opening may be starved by decreasing flow and stressing the fan motor. Maybe check on Fantech web site and send them a email...

You should have no problem with a push pull air flow with the Storm Trooper. Lots of options, but like Darkfaothom3030 says, best to do a major outflow, just to keep everything comfy.

I don't think so, fans are designed to suck air through one port,unless fan is reversible,do what I did and buy longer inlet ductwork.

If possible, you want a "chimney effect" where the hot air is "pulled" out. I prefer to have my fans on top. Most cases and components and cases are designed and positioned to take advantage of heat rising to help the airflow. If your equipment has any other fans, use the external to assist their flow, not compete against it.

There is only one way to have air flow... In from the front, out through the top.The sad part is no matter how to aim the fans, once they are not static pressure fans and you dont tape the 3 large rectangle holes under the lid cover, the fans will be circulating the hot air inside since air flow is restricted horribly.

It can run 2 fans, I don't know about 3. Give the company that makes them a call

I can't imagine why not. Running them in the horizontal plane, unless i'm mistaken, is more efficient and easier on the fan.

It depends on which setting you are using and how the room is configured. If you're just getting the air moving (hence using the lowest setting) then I don't think it would blow papers. The fan is also very targeted in how much area it directly blows so even if you had it on high and pointed it in the right way, I don't think it would be a problem either.

Don't know, yet, sorry. I have not installed this fan so far. The one I already own has pull cords so I've got my fingers crossed!

If one were to place it on a wall with the back to the wall, the fan would have no way to pull air into it. In theory, you could mount the bottom on a wall and blow air sideways, but you'd have no way to aim it. If you need this feature, I suggest the Holmes model HAOF90-UC.

No. Either have both fans on or off, or have one taking in air and one exhausting air.
