TEFC motor? (enclosed, fan-cooled), considering for harsh weather service, intermittent use

it will work in most outdoor use. I live in a state with hot summers and mild winters - no problem. If your weather is like a car wash in the summer and a freezer in the winter it might be a problem . I would provide a little protection if possible and if really cold then some type of oil heater. Good luck.

Yes it is TEFC. 100% duty cycle compressor. It is one of those items that lives up to expectations and just works.

I'd say it's more low/high heat. The whirring of the fan and engine motor didn't seem to register any differently. Though, I'd invest a bit more cash in a different brand/model.

The power cable is fairly robust and well-insulated, but I would be worried about water getting into the speed control if it rains. As other have said, if the fan is used in an outdoor area that is covered then you should be okay.

This fan is only rated for indoor use as the motors are not sealed for damp us and the blades are wood. Thank you, Mike H. Dan's Fan City

I certainly wouldn't want a fan such as this outside in rain just like most electrical appliances. I don't even see certification for use outside be it under covered conditions like patio even. I have use one for inside protected garage tho and its much hard on them. Nickel coating isn't like stainless or hard chrome for that usage.

if you do get this i would recommend a Top Motor DF1209SM Variable Speed 92mm x 25mm Case Fan (or a fan that has a built in Temperature Sensor) that fan will automatically spin faster the hotter it get with out the need for software control and is very easy to set up. plug in power and done.

I don't believe it is specifically designed for outdoor use, but if it is used in a semi-enclosed area like a screened-in porch where it is not directly exposed to rain, it should work okay. I've seen similar fans mounted in the ceiling of front porches. Make sure it is properly grounded and powered through a GFCI breaker.

Fan motor sits inside and connected to side wall. It can sit outside in rain with no problem. I use it with bags of ice on the inside because it doesn't get cold on its own. Never had a problem with the melting water and inside fan.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise.I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperateswitches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the loadand noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bayso cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

I don't think its recommendable. Just like all other motors this also produce heat and if you let it run for 24 hrs it will kill the motor.

It is hard wired to the motor, and inside the fan shroud. I suppose you could mount the thermostat at a different location if you really wanted too, since it is in a separate housing with some effort, but why would you want to? Is the fan going to be in a radically different place than the thermostat? If the fan is on the temperature in the attic is going to even out pretty quickly.

Thomas, That is exactly what my husband is doing with this fan. The max temp is up to 140 F (60 C). It works great, better than expected. He is also using a speed controller on it. It is really quiet too.

I would not use this where the motor is directly exposed to rain. Where the motor is sheltered from the rain, it works well.

Well, Yes, but I do not know your application. It is really a waterproof outside heat pump fan motor. I am using it as a in house heating motor, which works really well, without getting clogged up by dust and debris inside the motor. I has worked great for me and is well made with ball bearings on both ends.

I wouldn't personally use it outdoors . It's kind of noisey too, so if you do get it get a controller to adjust the fan speed

The fan housing is painted and protected, the motor is not sealed, 247 outside would shorten the life
