Can someone explain which direction the hot air is drawn from, and which way the hot air is blown out? Thanks!

What you see in the main picture is the top. The unit lays flat on top of your receiver. It pulls air up into the unit and then blows air out of the three large holes in the side. If you look at the second picture of the unit, you'll see where the air blows out from.

The fan sits flat like a pancake and sucks air in through the bottom and blows it out a port on the side. It kind of turns the air 90 degrees if you think about it. Mine sits on top of my amplifier and sucks the heat off the top and shoots it out the back of the cabinet. I've been using it for months now and I'm very happy with it. It produces a nice steady flow but it is not a high pressure air stream. It's just the right amount of air to keep your components cool. Remember it's just USB powered. I highly recommend the controller for it too.

Hi there. Your front fan should be blowing cooler air in. That is as long as your fan in the back is blowing the warmer air out. Hope that helps

It sucks air in from the sides and blows it out the top. I keep mine about a foot from the wall.

This unit just blows the air from where it is sitting. Air goes in the side holes and is shot out the 2 outlets by a squirrel-cage blower. Technically the motor running the unit uses a few watts so the air may come out a few milli-degrees warmer than the ambient. but functionally it just blows room temp air. it has no heater inside it if that is what you were asking about. In fact the air coming out if blown at your face or body does cool you. it is for this purpose that I use the Pelonis

In heat mode, mine vents cold air to the outside through the same hose as it blows cold air when in air conditioning mode. In heat mode mine blows hot air out the vents in the top. It is heat pump, so it won't work if it is too cold. If you vent air in from the outside and it is 45 degrees or less out, then the heater won't work. Disconnect you air intake hose so it is using the room air and it should work. I'm not a technician, but this is my understanding.

When you plug it in you can tell which way the airflow, and is it is reverseable so however you want it to blow it does both.

Yes there is a lot of hot air coming out. Needs to go outside. Works great.

Excellent. The air from the inside opens the vent. Outside air is kept out!!

you place this unit in the supply air grill in the room your trying to get more air flow into and low the temperature of the room. As the air is blowing in your room that you have put this unit in. This unit has air blowinto the unit and blows out the air from the unit with an increase of air blowing in your room now with a lower temperature as well.

The deflectors do not let the air come straight out (what would be up in a floor vent). half angle about 45 degrees one way and half 45 the other. They are quite widely spaced so quite a bit comes straight, but with turbulence.

The air is drawn from the base by an impeller blade. It is then circulated throughout the circular rim, and forced through a continuous inner vent, around the circumference. The vent has sort of a lip and the air exits and feels like it is coming from the center of the fan. Very ingenius. It is whisper quiet and you can feel the air from across the room at the lowest setting. Never thought you could love a fan, but this puppy is great.

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.

Generally, air comes in from the front-bottom, and exits the back-top. The side should bring air in as well.If you pull air out of the case halfway along the airflow path, you kind of mess up the intended flow design for most cases.

Yes, the fan blows air through the heating element and that's how the heat is distributed.

U manually pivot (tilt up or tilt down) to the position u want it to blow. It has 3 different fan speeds which i usually put on med. The fan runs great still 24-7 all summer long - its noisy which lulls me sleep. I hope this answers ur question.

Depends on which way you place it. You can have it push or pull air. I have two in my case now, one as an intake and one as an exhaust. The side with the Corsair label is where the air is pulled from, opposite side is where it's pushed out.

I've tried both ways and in my setup, it was better to put upside down to blow directly on the warmest component. The fans move a lot of air. Try it one way and then another and compare what feels cooler. Even better if you can measure the temperature.
