Could these fans be mounted inside an open cabinet with air drying drawers in a laundry room to circulate air gently? Can they be put on a timer?

They blow only a small amount of air only. Need to be very close to equipment. No timer

You'd probably need to ask the company. We don't think they are big enough. It wouldn't give you enough air exchange from what we can see. Sorry we couldn't be more help.

You could mount them almost any where. You could use a standard plug in light timer and just leave the fan on in manual mode. you wouldn't have much need for the thermostat controller. You might contact the cooler guy's and see if they have a timer controller. These fans are really quiet I've had them running for a year no problems'

I don't think that this A/C unit will operate this way, but I'm not 100% certain about this. I believe that the outside and inside air can't mix, but I'm a little unsure about this, since there is a filter of some sort. (Our filter light came on after a few weeks of use, by the way, but I haven't yet figured out how to change this or even if this is critical.)I think that the "fan only" mode merely draws room air through the unit without any cooling.

I would not use them for that. You need something that air will actively be pushed thru.

Thanx Don. That answers my similar concern. Many ductless mini splits run this way, short fan activity to sample air for dehumidification purposes, but it is nice to know that the fan will stay off if the humidity level stays controllled.

Sir, My thinking would be that as long as the fan is not touching the automatic shutter in a way that would impede it's opening/closing function, it would be fine.

Not significantly. If you are looking for a quiet solution and are somewhat electrically savvy, try wiring two fans in series and ditch the speed controller. I found this configuration was much quieter (practically silent!) than using the fans on the low setting of the speed controller, and still moved a surprising amount of air. The speed controller is not a very "elegant" design, and causes the fans to emit a buzzing or humming noise at low speed.

I bought six of them, but they are all installed indoors. They are gorgeous, absolutely silent fans. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question regarding outdoor installation.

if it's not too humid and the air is blowing on you from less than 8', yes. Nice cool, humidified air. Can be made to fan across area and could cool two or three people adequately. I have three units and really love them inside.

Cooling and air flow are in the rear of the cabinet. If the counter is open in the rear or side(like a table is), then they could work. The real problem is quality control. I own two, the first is quiet and just what you want. The second is noisy. I moved them both to another room. Still, for the number of bottles/$, this is the "best" product. I may buy another.

I would think so, if the fan & light are wired separately or already controlled by separate switches. I've only used it on a large ceiling fan, not a bathroom fan. The fan side of the switch has 3 positions for 3 speeds, which ceiling fans are designed for, but I would guess at least the high speed setting should work, just can't say for sure since i haven't tried it on a bathroom ventillation fan. On/off & dimming of the light should work fine.

If I recall there is a flap that opens with the force of the blowing air, however I can't see why it wouldn't work. I would suggest mounting it as high up as possible to allow the sensor to start the fan soon enough to do a good job.

Yes, I tried, but it didn't work. According to tech support at Delta and Lutron, the electronic switch manufacturer, the fan's current draw is way too low for the switch circuit design. I substituted an old-style (30 min) spring timer and it works fine. In another bathroom with a higher-amperage fan motor (Nutone, still a very quiet fan) I was able to use the Lutron electronic timer b/c the fan's current draw was slightly above the minimum needed to operate the switch.

Yes they can be used as intake and exhaust fans, but it depends on which way you face them. On the sides of the fan case there are labels that shows the direction that the fan turns and the direction the air moves. So if you want to make that fan a exhaust, just have that arrow point away from the inside of the case. Also vise versa if you want intake.

yes. a timer can be used. typically, the timer would be used to control just the fan motor if you have separate switching for light, but I suppose you could time out both at same time if a light is included.

I have two of the double fans (total of four fans) mounted at the top of a closed closet (3ft wide, 7 ft tall) which houses our computer servers and security system hardware. I reversed the mounting on the fans so they are exhaust, blowing the air out of the closet. There is about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch gap at the bottom of the doors where air can be drawn in. The idea is hot air rises and is exhausted while cooler air is pulled in at the bottom. This seems to be working quite well over the past month or so since the install.

In principle yes however these are very low volume . the object is to move the warm air and not cool it down over the distance. You are going to need a faster fan to do what you need.

I would agree with Auspician. In most cases a single fan is best used to suck hot air out of the cabinet, especially if you can mount the fan near the top of the cabinet and there is a source of fresh air somewhere near the bottom. In my case the cracks around the cabinet door provide enough air flow in.
